                $templatevalues['awardimages'] = $templater->render(); 
                vB_Template::preRegister('postbit_legacy', $templatevalues);

That is definitely referencing the image but it's location is postbit_display_complete, which makes me think it's not actually rendering the image here, rather just referencing it to add as a variable for postbit_legacy.

If order to enable these images in PMs, I did to find the conditional statement that starts the execution and add this to it:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'">
....
</vb:if>

but I'm not sure yet. Setting up a dev site right now to test out changes to plugins without messing things up too much so I can't try it yet but I think I have some better understanding of why PMs don't automatically get the same things to use that posts do, despite looking the same. Plugins usually call on a condition like $post[thing] = something and if I am not mistaken, the $post[''] code won't reference PM content.

Any comments?

Based on the code you're posting from the YaRS mod, and comparing it to the current code from the product xml, it looks like you're either running a very customized version of it, or an outdated one. I'd recommend going back to the base install to see if that helps sort out the problem as I know the current version has the ability to displays images in the postbit(_legacy) for PMs.
