One thing I believe would be useful, is to show "User is away", next to the member's name in his posts, when that member is away. Those who view his posts, will know not to comment on his writings, until he is ... no longer away.

After a lot of "trials and errors", here is what I came up with:

In postbit template, find this :

				<if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>
				
			</td>
			<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>

Replace the last line above, i.e. the line:

			<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>

with

<if condition="$post['awaystatus'] == 1">
<td width="100%"><CENTER>User $post[musername] is away at the moment.</td>
<else />
<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
</if>

The whole chunk of code there, should look like:

<if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>
				
			</td>
<if condition="$post['awaystatus'] == 1">
<td width="100%"><CENTER>User $post[musername] is away at the moment.</td>
<else />
<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
</if>
			<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
				
				<div class="smallfont">
					<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

I hope it make sense, if not e-mail me, I am nowhere being as good in documenting things, as those people who offer us those lovely hacks.

If only I knew how to put the awaysincedate parameter there!!!
