Not too sure what you mean by "why am I using a second condition...."

I'm following your method 2 :

if ($post['fieldx'])
{
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= '<dt>My FieldX</dt> <dd>';

if ($post['fieldx'] & 1) $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= 'Your 1rst option';
if ($post['fieldx'] & 2) $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= 'Your 2nd option';
if ($post['fieldx'] & 4) $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= 'Your 3rd option';
if ($post['fieldx'] & 8) $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= 'Your 4th option';
if ($post['fieldx'] & 16) $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= 'Your 5th option';

$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= '</dd>';
}

but for 3 conditions. But even ignoring the conditional, I can't get a true result from conditional statement for any of ; ($post[field40] & 1), ($post[field40] & 2) or ($post[field40] & 4), whilst I can from ($post[field]).

[field40] contains 3 radio buttons.

Looks like I need to keep hammering at it ....
