How to call a variable from within the Threadbit template?

Hmm. I just did a quick test and it worked fine for me. I created a blank template called custom_template and I put "Testing123" into it. I then created a plugin with the code that Lynne originally suggested and finally added {vb:raw custom_template} to the threadbit Template. That worked fine for me and I ended up with loads of Testing123's appearing above the list of threads (because of the floated divs I presume).
