    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
    WHERE userid = " . $thread['postuserid']
);

$author = $db->fetch_array($authors);

if ($author['displaygroupid'])
{
    $groupid = $author['displaygroupid'];
}
else
{
    $groupid = $author['usergroupid'];
}

$open_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['opentag'];
$close_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['closetag'];

$thread['postmusername'] = ($open_tag . $thread['postusername'] . $close_tag);

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
    WHERE userid = " . $thread['postuserid']
);

$author = $db->fetch_array($authors);

if ($author['displaygroupid'])
{
    $groupid = $author['displaygroupid'];
}
else
{
    $groupid = $author['usergroupid'];
}

$open_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['opentag'];
$close_tag = $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid]['closetag'];

$thread['postmusername'] = ($open_tag . $thread['postusername'] . $close_tag);

3.) Edit templates (for each style you want to change): threadbit, threadbit_deleted, search_threadbit

Find each instance of:

{vb:rawphrase started_by_x_y_z_a, {vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}, {vb:raw thread.postusername}, {vb:raw thread.startdate}, {vb:raw thread.starttime}, {vb:stylevar dirmark}}

and change it to:

{vb:rawphrase m_started_by_x_y_z_a, {vb:link member, {vb:raw thread}, null, 'postuserid', 'postusername'}, {vb:raw thread.postusername}, {vb:raw thread.postmusername}, {vb:raw thread.startdate}, {vb:raw thread.starttime}, {vb:stylevar dirmark}}

Just tried this but didn't work ....
