okay, Jake bunce over at the .com site was helpful enough to give me this:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="page" valign="top" width="175">

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td valign="top">
<div style="font-size:14pt">$post[username]</div><br />
<div class="smallfont">$post[postdate] $post[posttime]</div>
$post[field21]
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
<td class="page">

<if condition="$post['title']">
<div><strong>$post[title]</strong><br />&nbsp;</div>
</if>
<if condition="$post['attach']">
<div class="smallfont"><phrase 1="$post[attach]">$vbphrase[x_attachments]</phrase></div>
</if>

<div>$post[message]</div>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

to use in place of the current printthreadbit template. it shows the username to the left, as well as date and time. my problem is that when i add in my field data, it modifies the page in no way shap or form. here is what i'm putting in:

<if condition="$post[field5]"><div align="left">$post[field5]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field6]"><div align="left">$post[field6]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field9]">$post[field9]</if>
<if condition="$post[field10]">$post[field10]</if>
<if condition="$post[field11]">$post[field11]</if>
<if condition="$post[field7]"><div align="left">Phone: $post[field7]</div></if>
<if condition="$post[field8]"><div align="left">Fax: $post[field8]</div></if>

this all works fine in my legacy template, but not in this new template. am i putting it in the wrong place or what?
