I ran into the same thing on a mod I wrote a while ago. I had to do this (mine was for forumids, so change your condition appropriately).

In a plugin:

PHP Code:

$vfarray=$vbulletin->options[verify_forums];
$verifyforums = explode(",", $vfarray); 


In the template:

<if condition=" in_array($threadinfo[forumid], $verifyforums)">
