Proudly introducing:

YaBB Zodiac 2.1

This mod shows the zodiac sign in the users profile (both in view profile as text as in the thread as an icon) if the birth date is filled out.

Installation
Apply the mod, upload the changed Load.pl, Display.pl, Profile.pl, display.template
Upload the new Zodiac.pl into /Sources and chmod equal to the other pl files
Upload Zodiac.lng in the correct language dirs (english, dutch and german supplied)
Upload the dir holding the zodiac gif icons including the dir into public_html/yabbfiles/ModImages

Testing
Go to any user with a filled out birth date and the zodiac sign should be shown as text in the profile view.
Go to any thread where users have their birth date filled out and the zodiac sign should be visible as icon (with a alt/title tag having the text version)

Good idea Spikecity! Smiley

One question though.  Can a individual user choose to turn off (via their profile) the displaying of a Zodiac symbol for their own posts and profile?

Some users are uncomfortable with anything to do with astrology and the Zodiac.  It would be nice to be able to offer it on a forum, but allow individuals to turn it off for themselves if they choose to.

On/Off is based on birth date filled out or not, so people who are "scared" of zodiac stuff just erase their birth date in the profile.
No on/off switch in the profile, just showing it if there is a date, basically the same mechanism for the birthday cake icon, shown on their birthday.

BTW
Attached a second set of Zodiac icons (much smaller and discrete)
Just overwrite the ones in the zip if you like these ones more.

any idea why the sign changes on some of the post? Example...a member is listed as Sag but when you see him again, he is a cancer.

Can you elaborate on this a little ?
Is there a different member in the same thread that is also cancer ?
I think the swap is some left over value from another member in the same thread.

Perhaps a link to your forum so I can check what it looks like myself ?

Yep, seen it myself now, as I suspected this is a left over variable from the previous poster (in this case you) if a poster does not have his birth date filled out.
I will fix this asap.

Edited:
Fixed, new mod attached to the first post
