[TECK]

that wont do any difference lesane, it will only repeat the variable if needed and that's not the case.
technicaly, if i add in getpostbit() a new variable it should show it in every poost, no matter what.. but that's not the case. firefly? anyone? i know is not related to the global functions...

the only way i see it this: the post array let you insert those variables. even if you change the variable to $post[rename] or whatever you want to, it will still normally show it because the getpostbit function is designed to show no matter you want in there, reltaed to postbits... text images, etc.

i even tried to add a condition into the showthread.php file, same result.
try this lesane, in functions.php, find:

eval("\$post[buddy] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_buddy")."\";");

below this, add:

eval("\$post[rename] = \"".gettemplate('postbit_renamepost')."\";");

make a template with a button for example edit.gif and you will see that it doesnt show.
