Hello...

First off... I am totally lost to php, so pls bear with me

I have installed this hack from Ted S.

What is does is will post a message for people not reg'd/vistors, another one waiting activation, another message after your activation (to congrats... remind to post) and another one if you have been gone for X amount of days.

If uses Phrase, and it is what is in these Phrases that the user will see.

Example
welcome_postmoreoften

Hello {1} it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our over 200 forums.  A few popular destinations include our <A 
href="/f2.html">Basic Scuba</A> forums, our <A href="/f51.html">Off Topic</A> and our <A href="/f42.html">Scuba Clubs</A> which now number over two dozen.

What what I can tell, is that by adding the {1} would post the username.... but when I do that, I get:
