Thanks, will try it and will keep curlies in mind!

Tried it, in a variety of ways.

Putting the whole statement, as with also the sub-variable, in curly brackets gets vBulletin to accept the statement, otherwise it is rejected as a malformed conditional.

However, while the code is accepted, it does not give any results, in other words nothing at all shows.

IOW:

{$vbphrase[$thread[prefix_plain]]}

will be accepted by the vB, but then results in nothing being displayed for it. Yes, the Phrases are already there to be called upon, so it's not a case of not displaying because of missing stuff.

Any ideas, anyone?
