$userinfo[posts] conditional does not work

[Andy]

Some members would not like to display the large number of posts they have. So what I would like to do is show something like "Total Posts: >1000" to those that have more then 1000 posts.

In the MEMBERINFO template I found the area that displays the Total Posts and proceeded to add this conditional in front of it.

<if condition="$userinfo[posts] <= 1000">

but this does not work.

<if condition="$userinfo[posts] <= 1000"> 
 <tr>
 <td>
  $vbphrase[total_posts]: <strong>$userinfo[posts]</strong> (<phrase 1="$postsperday">$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day]</phrase>)
 </td>
 </tr>
</if>
