On our forum, we have 2 sets of users. 'Registered' or free members, and 'Platinum' Members (members who have paid the subscription service). The platinum members get the avatar, signature, and access to more forums.

What I thought would help to encourage the free members to upgrade to the platinum, if possible have a message appear in the header.

That says something like

"Do you want an Avatar, or Signature, or access to more forums? Then upgrade to our Platinum Membership by clicking here"

Is there a way to make a message like this appear for only the registered members? and not for the people who have already signed up for the platinum?

Thanks in advance
Chris.

yes in very easy way

check what is usergroupid of registed members

now lets say you want to show the msg on index.php

so on index.php before

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('FORUMHOME') . '");');

Add
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == "4") {
// 4 is exsample to registed usergroup id

eval('$buymsg = "' . fetch_template('buypl') . '";');

} else {
$buymsg = "";
}

now add new template called buypl with the text you wanted

also edit forumhome template and add $buymsg where you want it to be showen

this supuse to work
if not tell me
