i used the following code and it works just fine

FIND

            <vb:if condition="$show['reputation']">
                <span class="postbit_reputation" id="repdisplay_{vb:raw post.postid}_{vb:raw post.userid}" title="{vb:raw post.username} {vb:raw post.level}">
                    <vb:each from="reputationdisplay" value="row">
                        <img class="{vb:raw row.class}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_reputation}/reputation_{vb:raw row.posneg}{vb:raw row.imgext}" alt="" />{vb:raw row.rowend}
                    </vb:each>
                </span>
            </vb:if>

REPLACE WITH

            <vb:if condition="$show['reputation']">
                <span>
Reputation: {vb:raw post.reputation}
                </span>
            </vb:if>
