[Chadi]

I tried your method HM and got this

The code

function top_links_table($links,$width,$extra) {
global $ibforums;
return <<<EOF
<!-- Media Center Nav -->
<div class="mc_border_out">
  <div class="mc_border_in">
<div id="middlebar">
<a href='http://www.talkjesus.com/arcade.php'><span><img src='/images/media-menu/games.png' alt='Arcade Games' class='img-media-menu' />&nbsp;Arcade</span></a>
<a href='http://www.talkjesus.com/journal.php'><span><img src='/images/media-menu/highlight.png' alt='Journals' class='img-media-menu' />&nbsp;Journals</span></a>

if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(2, 6, 7, 35)) AND $vbulletin->userinfo[posts] > 4)
{
    <a href='http://www.talkjesus.com/misc.php?do=page&template=Chat'><span><img src='/images/media-menu/chat.png' alt='Christian Live Chat' class='img-media-menu' />&nbsp;&nbsp;Live Chat</span></a>
}
else
{
    <a href='http://www.talkjesus.com/forum-rules...ents-rule.html'><span><img src='/images/media-menu/chat.png' alt='Christian Live Chat' class='img-media-menu' />&nbsp;Live Chat: Disabled (?)</span></a>
}

<a href='http://www.talkjesus.com/album.php'><span><img src='/images/media-menu/folder.png' alt='Member Albums' class='img-media-menu' />&nbsp;Member Albums</span></a>
<a href='http://www.talkjesus.com/gallery/index.php'><span><img src='/images/media-menu/image.png' alt='Photo Gallery' class='img-media-menu' />&nbsp;Photo Gallery</span></a>
<a href='javascript:openRadioAndTV()'><span><img src='/images/media-menu/multimedia.png' alt='Radio Streaming' class='img-media-menu' />&nbsp;Radio</span></a>
</div>
  </div>
</div>
<!-- /Media Center Nav -->
<br />
    <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='4' class="tborder">
    	<tr>
        	<td class="tcat" align="center" width="{$width}">{$links}</td>
            {$extra}
        </tr>
    </table>
EOF;
}

This method below (the way I had it originally) works just fine, but I really want the if conditionals in place for enhanced security against trouble makers.

function top_links_table($links,$width,$extra) {
global $ibforums;
return <<<EOF

  <div class="mc_border_in">
<div id="middlebar">

    </table>
