Forumhome Forumbit HELP!

[Michael Morris]

Hey. I'm having trouble getting a template mod to work with the 4 forumhome forumbit templates. Basically, I want to give my users the ability to turn off forum icons in my forum listings to save bandwidth. Unfortunately the system always evaluates the following to false.

<if condition="$forum['icon'] AND $extrauseroptions['display_forumicon']">
Display the forum icon code goes here.

Now, forum icon is defined by the database through a hack. It works fine BY ITSELF. The $extrauseroptions array is defined in the phpinclude_start template.

Now I've used this kind of conditional in $threadbit, $header, $navbar, $FORUMHOME with NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!!! Why is the system failing to recognize this variable in these four templates.

NOTE: I *suspect* it has to do with variable scope, but if that's the case WHY ONLY HERE?? Why haven't I seen this occur in $threadbit, postbit, etc??

-- Getting incredibly fustrated here, Mike.
