This is applicable if you run a Welcome or Introduce yourself type of forum. After taking the advice of the Improve your community registration & posting rate thread, the people posting in my Intorductions forum has easily tripled.

Since we are now getting a lot of initial posts from new users introducing themselves, there haven't been many replies and a few that simply go unanswered.

So I have decided to reward the one's who do welcome people with a "Welcoming Committee" image that goes under their avatar. Since doing this, replies have increased a lot and those who get the image feel like they are part of something.

I did this with a simple conditional, I created a new group called greeters and made a simple little button image that would fit nicely under their avatar. The called it up with this:

in your postbit (or postbit_legacy) template find:

Code:

alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
				</div>
			</if>

Add this under it:

Code:

<br />
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 62)"> <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/vb/your_intro_forum"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/vb/images/your_greeters_award.gif" alt="Greeter Award" border="0" /></a>
</if>

Change the paths and group number accordingly, then add your greeters to the group. I also stickied a post in this forum promoting it.
