I'm lost

Is the zip file on the first post accurate? If not, which post with code do I use?

Thanks in advance.

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/benvelope.gif" width="18" height="16" alt="" /></if><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

What does this fix? The original steps seem to work OK for me, although the envelope GIF is a little funny-looking (not a show-stopper).
