post = 0
 

Is there a way or can some one code a way where if a users post = 0 or whatever we choose they can only view thumbs not full size? is there a way to do that?

good idea
- I do this with different usergroups and promotions

Set up 2 Usergroups:
1) can see only small images
2) can see small and large image


Usergroups and Permissions / Usergroup Promotions /
- Adding or Editing a Promotion
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m..._add_promotion

Usergroups => Promotions => Add New Promotion

Check: Usergroup1 - IF posts > 0 THEN move user to Usergroup2

I guess a hard code hack could be made, but this makes it hackless. ;)
