Mouser,
Thanks for the generous offer.  I see that an "Ignore User" modification is in there, and possibly another one, but I'm not sure.  Perhaps it would be easier if I posted the relevant code here and let you highlight the sections to leave alone?  I'm thinking this might also be helpful to other people as well.

Below is the section of code we're discussing:

      // Show the post itself, finally!
      echo '
                        </td>
                     </tr></table>
                     <hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />
                     <div class="post"', $message['can_modify'] ? ' id="msg_' . $message['id'] . '"' : '', '>', $message['body'], '</div>', $message['can_modify'] ? '
                     <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/modify_inline.gif" alt="" align="right" id="modify_button_' . $message['id'] . '" style="cursor: pointer; display: none;" onclick="modify_msg(\'' . $message['id'] . '\', \'' . $context['session_id'] . '\')" />' : '' , '
                  </td>
               </tr>';

      // Now for the attachments, signature, ip logged, etc...
      //-Ignore MOD- Start
      if ($message['is_ignored'] && $message['can_be_ignored'])
      echo '
               <tr>
                  <td valign="bottom" class="smalltext" width="85%" style="display: none;" id="ignfooter', $message['counter']+1 , '" >
                     <table width="100%" border="0" style="table-layout: fixed;"><tr>
                        <td colspan="2" class="smalltext" width="100%">';
      else
      //-Ignore MOD- End

      echo '
               <tr>
                  <td valign="bottom" class="smalltext" width="85%">
                     <table width="100%" border="0" style="table-layout: fixed;"><tr>
                        <td colspan="2" class="smalltext" width="100%">';

      // Assuming there are attachments...
      if (!empty($message['attachment']))
      {
         echo '
                           <hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />
                           <div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">';
         foreach ($message['attachment'] as $attachment)
         {
            if ($attachment['is_image'])
            {
               if ($attachment['thumbnail']['has_thumb'])
                  echo '
                           <a href="', $attachment['href'], ';image" id="link_', $attachment['id'], '" onclick="', $attachment['thumbnail']['javascript'], '"><img src="', $attachment['thumbnail']['href'], '" alt="" id="thumb_', $attachment['id'], '" border="0" /></a><br />';
               else
                  echo '
                           <img src="' . $attachment['href'] . ';image" alt="" width="' . $attachment['width'] . '" height="' . $attachment['height'] . '" border="0" /><br />';
            }
            echo '
                              <a href="' . $attachment['href'] . '"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/clip.gif" align="middle" alt="*" border="0" />&nbsp;' . $attachment['name'] . '</a> (', $attachment['size'], ($attachment['is_image'] ? ', ' . $attachment['real_width'] . 'x' . $attachment['real_height'] . ' - ' . $txt['attach_viewed'] : ' - ' . $txt['attach_downloaded']) . ' ' . $attachment['downloads'] . ' ' . $txt['attach_times'] . '.)<br />';
         }

         echo '
                           </div>';
      }

      echo '
                        </td>
                     </tr><tr>
                        <td valign="bottom" class="smalltext" id="modified_', $message['id'], '">';

      // Show "« Last Edit: Time by Person »" if this post was edited.
      if ($settings['show_modify'] && !empty($message['modified']['name']))

Thanks for the reply.  I am kind of adventuresome, and have dabbled into the code at times.
What do I have to lose?
Thanks!
