I believe that you will need to edit template 'postbit' or 'postbit_legacy' according to your site config.

heres an example of what im looking at(i think this is where i should be looking for it)

<if condition="$show['emaillink']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailmember&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_email_to_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>
<if condition="$show['homepage']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$post[homepage]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[visit_xs_homepage]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>
<if condition="$show['search']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_more_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>

Then you shouldn't do anything to your vBulletin, you shouldn't install mods nor file edits or template changes.

Relax. Just do the edit and see if it works for you. If not, then simply revert the template.

ok, its working-but not...here goes


there is a blank spot right under the "find post by user X"
and right above "add to buddy list"


the blank spot takes you to all threads started by user...but the wording isnt there?

i used this code:
<if condition="$show['search']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]&starteronly=1"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_threads_started_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>


also...i found these codes in "postbit" and "postbit_legacy"...so i added that code to both of those areas

It's in both because their different templates for different postbit layouts. Your site will only use one of them, as per the settings in vBulletin Options. You only need to edit the one your using.

You have no text because there's no such phrase as $vbphrase[find_threads_started_by_x]. You can edit the code directly and just put what you want there, or you can add a new phrase in the Phrase Manager. Will probably need to look like this...

Varname: find_threads_started_by_x
Text: Find threads started by {1}

Everything else you can leave as default.

I just noticed, there is phrase callled $vbphrase[find_threads_started_by_user]. But it just says User, not their name.

$vbphrase[find_threads_started_by_x] is a phrase that doesn't exist in vBulletin. Since it doesn't exist, vBulletin doesn't know what convert it into, so it converts it into nothing. That's why you're getting no text in that space. You need to add the phrase to your Phrase Manager or just type what you want that to say instead of using the phrase. My instructions above were for if you chose to add a phrase to the Phase Manager. Which if you opened up, you would see what I'm talking about.
