- You can choose to add the following code wherever you like, but I'll give some of the beginners a place to put it, if they don't know there way around the templates.

FIND:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

PASTE BELOW:

<if condition="$post['fieldXX']">
<a href ="http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStatsHalo2.aspx?player=$post[fieldXX]"target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/halo2.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[view_halo2_stats]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$post['fieldXX']">
<a href ="http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=$post[fieldXX]"target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/halo3.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[view_halo3_stats]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</if>

- Replace all the "XX" with the field number you created earlier. There are 4.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Refer to the screen shot and the red arrows to view the modification.

It might take some tweaking to make it look right, but it's a nice addition. In my screenshot I have the XBL Gamescore added to make it look better. If you would like to add that to your forum... Visit this link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=157122

Then you would just add the above code below that.

Enjoy! Please click Install!!

The only thing I can think of is that you did not upload the images to your Styles misc directory.
When $stylevar[imgdir_misc] is used, the images must be placed in every misc folder for every Style that your board uses- not just the default.
If thats not the case, check the Stylevars location for your Style-try adding a full url-
You may have a mod disrupting your css somewhere which requires the complete url.

The code calls for the images in forum/images/misc. not in each skin folder. Even so, if they image didn't show the phrase. I think he just got confused when making the fields.
