The variable for the top post is $threadinfo[toppost] and is only active when enabled. You can use that in a conditional to change the box color.

If you need help learning html I'd suggest the main programming forum here at vBulletin.org as you won't find many people checking hack threads to help others.

On the members profile page, I'd also like to have the "Thumbs Up" and "Thumbs Down" with the members overall stats. Right now it says (member name) Posts have been rated good (_) out of (_) times.

Just edit the template helpful_statsbit and add the thumb images where you want them. Remove the phrases or any other text if you don't want it.
