Fantastic - thanks for being so thorough with your explanation.

Works like a charm!

Actually ended up tweaking it a bit and added what I wanted into another template_hook so I don't have to alter the post_bit template.

Full plugin code below:

$new_user_posts = str_replace(',', '', $post['posts']);

if ($new_user_posts > 500) {
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= '<!--<dt></dt><dd>' . $new_user_posts . '</dd>-->';
}
