You would have to manually edit your postbit template.

DOH! Using the default position put it exactly where I wanted it to be - Thank you and thanks for the update!

The only reason I can see that error coming up, liwo also mentioned it, using the MySQLi DB Type.

If anyone can give me a bit of help on getting the award_memberlist.php to work on both MySQLi and MySQL I'd appreciate it.
