Works great using vb4.1.3... I changed the message a little for more my own reasons using an image i made specifically for one of my sites...



Very simple:

$my_banned_ids = array(8);/* Banned usergroup ids */
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread') {
    if (isset($post['usergroupid']) && in_array($post['usergroupid'], $my_banned_ids)) {
        $post['title'] = 'User is banned';
        $post['message'] = '<img src="/images/Your image Here">';
    }
}

Upload your image to forum root and put the location of image where its marked red above...
