A few things I noticed about the extra variables you provided in your second post

This one used for highlighting the background

<if condition="$thread[toppost] == $post[postid]">background-color:#CCCCCC;</if>

also changes my private messages,I changed the messagearea with a blue background and it does the same thing to my pm message areas

Example

I fixed it for my board because I only use it for one thread by doing this

<if condition="$thread[toppost] == $post[postid] AND $thread[threadid] == 453">background-color:#375368;</if>

But you might wanna fix it for people who use it for more than I do

also the code to identify top rated post says

<if condition="$threadinfo[toppost] == $post[postid]">This is the top rated post!</code>

Shouldn't it say

<if condition="$thread[toppost] == $post[postid]">This is the top rated post!</if>

That's what worked for me but again it has to be changed or it shows in my private messages
