User title graphics: Hack needed?

[mjames]

Chen, I just tried it again and couldn't get it to work. Let me explain what I did and you tell me if I did something wrong.

Firstly, I found:

$post[joindate]=vbdate($registereddateformat,$post[joindate]);

in functions.php and underneath it (no spaces), I added:

if ($post['usergroupid'] == 3 or $post['usergroupid'] == 5 or $post['usergroupid'] == 6) {
			$post['userimage'] = '<img src="http://www.sports-central.org/community/boards/images/userimages/'.$post['usergroupid'].'.gif" border="0">';
		} else {
			$post['userimage'] = '';
		}

I changed the usergroup IDs since the moderator group was different from the one you used. (Speaking of usergroups, apparently, like four or five of them have the same ID when I hovered my mouse over them. How can that be?)

I uploaded the images and made sure the images (3.gif, 6.gif, 7.gif) corresponded to the numbers in the code above. I then added this to the postbit template:

$post[userimage]

What happened was I think it worked for my administrators group as I had two of the same images under my name (the original one which I hand-coded in as well as the one from this hack). But I tried to remove the hand-coding HTML from the title of one of my moderators and no image showed up. Any ideas?
