Show icons for specific usergroup (threadstarter) in threadbit?

[kpmedia]

True, that is a bigger difference, if you're not used to seeing both forums.

Well, I'd like to start with the vB3, and mirror it to the vB4, since it makes the development easier for me.

I can even switch the default theme for vB3, if it makes a difference. (Note: Already tried, same behavior.)

On my local dev site (vB 4.2.x) when I edit the threadbit template, in the status icon block section to read:

			<!--  status icon block -->
			<vb:if condition="is_member_of($thread, array(6))">
			<a class="threadstatus" rel="vB::AJAX" <vb:if condition="$show['threadcount']">title="{vb:rawphrase have_x_posts_in_thread_last_y, {vb:raw thread.dot_count}, {vb:raw thread.dot_lastpost}}"</vb:if>></a>
			</vb:if>

Then in the forum display, I see the following:



The user "Randall Flagg is not a member of usergroup 6, while "MarkFL" is.

I'm just not getting that result on 3 or 4.

And the vB3 conditional should be:

<if condition="is_member_of($thread, array(6))">

Correct?

Yes, I haven't worked much with vB 3.x, but I believe that's correct.

For whatever reason, this just does not work on vB3.

How would I go about creating a plugin to grab the post starter usergroup?
I'm really rusty, but something like:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']
 AND $vbulletin-> stuff
 AND $something == 'thread')
{
 this is the icon?   
}
