You need to put the code for this hack into the new member.php file. Part of this hack is some code that you insert into that file. When you upgraded to 2.0.3, that file was overwritten with a clean, unhacked version. You still see the "Threads started" in a person's profile because that bit of the hack is in a template, which does not get overwritten in an upgrade. But as you noticed, it says "Threads started", but there is no number, because the code that generates the number is gone.

Anbyone know a solution to my problem???

I never said you were stupid. So please don't expect an apology. I've seen enough instances where people didn't realize that hacks get overwritten that it comes to be my first thought in this type of situation. You know, similar to the old cliche of "My computer doesn't work!"..."Well, is it plugged in?" OK?

So I will say I'm sorry I can't help you. It works fine for me on 2.0.3.

im using 2.0.1 and I have the same problem... where it should tell howmany posts... its just blank.

This hack has a problem with users names that have a ' in the name. Take a look at the help FireFly gave to fix the problem in this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...072#post167266
