ProfilePic ForumHome Conditional

[Ntfu2]

<if condition="$show['profilepic']">
<img src="image.php?u=$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]&amp;type=profile&amp;dateline=$vbulletin->userinfo[profilepicdateline]">
<else />
<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/profiledef.gif">
</if>

Try that code, its from another hack here, search for Show Profile Pic anywhere.

And if you are only trying to put this on the forumhome, why not try a forum home hook location?
