hmmm - I thought there was a little something amiss - Your code doesn't allow for Member groups other than "Members" for the hack to work - Say you have groups like Elite or Senior Member or Contributors..... Your edited code would NOT work....

It should be:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, 5, 6, 7)">
<table table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/verified.gif" width="27" height="32" alt="Verified!" /></td>
<td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#339900">V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message was sent by an official <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong> staff member. It's contents can be trusted.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, INCLUDE EACH OF YOUR OTHER USERGROUP IDs">
<table table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/unverified.gif" width="27" height="32" alt="Verified!" /></td>
<td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#fa2424">U N V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">If this message contains spam please report to a forum staff member.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>

Actually I even customized it a little and made graphics for my site - I'll share too - But I really like the "spam prevention" aspect of the rewrite = Thanx for sharing

Jacquii.
