I use a hack that shows a users total time logged on the board in the postbit under their avatar.

It is showing for users that have been banned though and im not sure why.
How do i get it to stop showing up in a banned users post?

Change the postbit conditional to say That excludes group 8 which is the default banned group.

that didnt work

it didnt seem to do anything at all.

you know what, this probably did work, the only banned user i had, was deleted.

So it is showing that users posts on the board, and showing him as a guest, even though there is no one in the guest group or banned users group.

So how would i go about not showing this time logged display in posts by users who have been deleted??

EDIT

and also can i add multiple usergroups to that statement?
like this

<if condition="$userinfo[usergroupid] != 1,8,12,etc?">

.. I think that will work, I'm not great with ! negatives

Note: It was supposed to be $bbuserinfo in the previous thing, not $userinfo. My mistake.

i thought it was bbuserinfo i actually changed it and used that in my code .... tried it both ways before i realized the user was actually deleted... but i still have the problem of this hack showing up in the postbit of deleted users previous posts.

Since none of the other info shows up (location, gender, etc) i can safely assume that there is a way to stop this information from showing as well.

I may have misunderstood the original request. Or gotten confused when replying... anyway.

Since it's the only one not tried yet, try $postinfo instead of $bbuserinfo.
If that fails, could you re-explain what you'd like to happen.

that didnt work.

Heres the problem, the code you posted works perfectly for users who have been banned, but are still users on the board, who may be unbanned in the future.
When you ban someone, their old posts obviously dont go away.

HOWEVER, The user in question has been DELETED from the board, and is no longer a member at all.
Naturally, this users old posts still exist. In this users old posts, they show up as a guest, but being that the user no longer exists, they are not actually in the guest group. So using code to say "dont show this if they are a guest" wont work, since that user is gone and not actually part of any group at all.

Here is a picture to sort of show what i mean.
This user is no longer in the database at all, there is no such user as "kyle12" anymore.

So how do i stop that time logged thing from showing up.

You should be able to update a forum counter or you could do a manual clean of the db but the threads he posted in may be messed up but then a counter may fix it. Thats all May's though.

no go dude

But like i said, this is just a hack...... so i sort of just need a way to to tell it not to display this information, if this user is not in the database
