You can create a plugin with PHP code to create marked up names for those locations. For help with this I recommend you post on www.vbulletin.org.

Any ideas here?

Try using fetch_musername in a plugin to manipulate the $lastpostinfo['lastposter'] variable

I'm sorry that I don't comprehend that well.

You say, create a plugin, and where it says hook location use fetch_username? I dont see fetch_username, unless it was included in 3.5.1 and I would just put $lastpostinfo['lastposter'] in as the php code?

I am incredibly new to this.

Heh... fetch_musername is a function to fetch the HTML markup for a username...

I'm not sure what the location is where the lastposter is declared, or even if a plugin exists around that area, but experimenting with the code might get it to work:

PHP Code:

$lastpostinfo['lastposter'] = fetch_musername($lastpostinfo['lastposter']); 


Something like that - Hopefully Kirby will come along with his magical plugin wotsit

Yeah hopefully.
