If you look in the code for where the postbit_onlinestatus template is rendered, you'll see no post variables are registered for use in that template:

PHP Code:

        $templater = vB_Template::create('postbit_onlinestatus');
            $templater->register('onlinestatus', $onlinestatus);
            $templater->register('user', $user);
        $user['onlinestatus'] = $templater->render(); 


And, if you look at the code (includes/functions_bigthree.php), you'll see the post variable isn't even available in the function.

Why do you need it in that template?
