Thanks so much!

I really like this, but I wanted it somewhere other than in the sig line. I was playing around and did it like this:

In Postbit Legacy:

FIND:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_start}

BELOW, add this abbreviated code:

<!--YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->
                <vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
                	<img src="images/thread_starter.gif" alt="British Expats Thread Starter"><br />
                </vb:if>
<!--end of YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->

It then appears at the top of the thread starter's posts:

			</div>
			</vb:if>

I get this when I try to save the template.

adding child to non-existent node!

I'm adding it like this.

<!--YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->
<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] OR $thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
                <vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
                	<img src="images/misc/threadstarter.png" alt="British Expats Thread Starter"><br />
                </vb:if>
                                        {vb:raw template_hook.postbit_signature_end}
			</div>
			</vb:if>
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</vb:if>
<!--end of YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->

It works for users with sigs fine, I just get the error when I try and add the additional code.

Still can't get it working with the no sig option, but I thought I'd share my threadstarter.png if anybody wants to use it.

[Xexiu]

how can I make the image appear in the top right corner. I'm using postbit_legacy but I failed on several intents .

Can you give me some suggestions please. Thank you.

Works in 4.2.1.
