Reputation Postbit and such

[bi11i]

I'm new to all this and doing what I can to make the most sense of it.

I'm trying to edit the templates so my user's reputation and reputation-altering power both show up beneath their name (and above the IM icons) on each post.

When I changed (in postbit_reputation)

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_$posneg.gif" alt="$post[username] $post[level]" border="0" />

to

<font size=1><b>Reputation Level: $post[reputation]</b></size>
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_reputation]/reputation_$posneg.gif" alt="$post[username] $post[level]" border="0" />

i ended up with what *looks* right, but what happens is that it ends up showing this info twice when a user's reputation increases.

Can someone point me in the right direction of a mod that will help me in what i'm trying to accomplish? Also, could someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong (as simply as possible) so I have a better understanding of what exactly I'm messing up?

Thanks!
