Okay....now that I have done the hack 2 posts above my forum doesnt work anymore. I get this error:

It won't work in vb2.03. Any ideas anyone. It's the showthread.php bit???

I am useing Version 2.2.5, and the hack by furious didn't work.

But I found another way to install this great Hack:

Find in admin/functions.php:

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

and directly after it add this...

// ###################################
// Start of the Star Hack
//###################################

unset($stars);

if ($post[usergroupid]==6 or $post[usergroupid]==5 or $post[usergroupid]==7 or $post[usergroupid]==8) {
              $starsgif_1 = '<img src="stars/Admin1.gif">';

} else {
           $starsgif_1 = '<img src="stars/0stars.gif">';
       $starsgif_2 = '<img src="stars/1stars.gif">';
       $starsgif_3 = '<img src="stars/2stars.gif">';
       $starsgif_4 = '<img src="stars/3stars.gif">';
       $starsgif_5 = '<img src="stars/4stars.gif">';
       $starsgif_6 = '<img src="stars/5stars.gif">';
       $starsgif_7 = '<img src="stars/6stars.gif">';

}

if ($post[usergroupid]==6 ) {
         $stars = $starsgif_1 . $starsgif_2 . $starsgif_3 . $starsgif_4 . $starsgif_5;
} elseif ($post[usergroupid]==7) {
         $stars = $starsgif_1 . $starsgif_2 . $starsgif_3;
} elseif ($post[usergroupid]==5 ) {
         $stars = $starsgif_1 . $starsgif_2 . $starsgif_3 . $starsgif_4;
} else {
    if ($post[posts] > 1000 )
        {      $stars = $starsgif_7;   }
    elseif ($post[posts] > 120 )
        {      $stars = $starsgif_6;   }
    elseif ($post[posts] > 90 )
        {      $stars = $starsgif_5;   }
    elseif ($post[posts] > 60 )
        {      $stars = $starsgif_4;   }
