I hope you're using vb 3.5, because thats what i did the XML for

Basically - the variables you need are not available in stock vbulletin and the query has to be extended, with an extra hook to actually work it out or not (which may or may not be relevant, but I did it anyway).

It will only work when displayed on "forumdisplay.php" and if the thread appears elsewhere it will not work.

Once you have imported the product, you will need to modify the "threadbit_display" hook and change 6 to the usergroupid of your sponsors group.

You will then need to modify the threadbit template.

Replace

$thread[threadtitle]

With

<if condition="$show['contrib_thread']"><font style="color: #FF0000;">$thread[threadtitle]</font><else />$thread[threadtitle]</if>

Hopefully that works.
