If you want a simple colored border based on user group, you can do it by editing the proper postbit template and defining a sequence of classes in your css.
Look for the following code in the postbit:

PHP Code:

<img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" style="margin:0;padding:0;border:1px solid #fff;" /> 


Then change it to:

PHP Code:

<img src="$post[avatarurl]" class="$post[usertitle]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight]  alt="<phrase  1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>"  style="margin:0;padding:0;" /> 


In your css, make the following line for each usertitle:

img.usertitle {border: 2px solid #00f;}

[adjust values to suit your needs]

Hi Don,
Thank you very much for the help. Wish there is a thank button here. But I actually had some frames ready just like in the blizzard forum in the demo above and would like to use those frames for different user group.

So no one can help me?

With a quick look at the site to which you linked, it looks like they surrounded their avatars with a div, then set the background image of that div to the appropriate frame by using classes.

I hope this gives you a place to start.

It sounds ... too complicated for me.
Do you mean they use something like this: user postbit background

But is it going to be a tight fit. I'm not a computer guy, I learned to do these stuff on my own.
Thank you for your time helping me.

That's how most of us learned how to do stuff.

No, you do not need a plugin or a mod. You need to edit the postbit template, and write a selector into the additional CSS.

Create a new style and edit it. If you mess it up, delete it and create a new one so you can try again. That's how you learn.

Thanks for the clarification but I think it is out of my hand. :|

$this->post['avwidth'] = 'width="100"'; 
$this->post['avheight'] = 'height="100"'; 
} 


replace x with the usergroupid and enter the correct path to the url and the correct width and height. That should work for the postbit (I think, I haven't tried it). Just do similar for wherever else you use avatars.

Sounds to me like you missed something in the c/p pate the exact code in your plugin here.
