Custom User Field check box w/image?

I would like a check box to tick for a custom user field, instead of a text string. Then when activated it would display an image under the avatar. If it's not ticked then there would be no image. I have the image code ready but I can't figure out the check box part. Is this possible?
 
Create a new user field:

Admin CP -> Users -> Custom User Fields

To create the image you need to specify the HTML:

General Options: Value Display HTML

For example:

Code:
<img src="path/to/{$value}.gif" alt="{$value}" />

Also, there is this option you need to enable:

General Options: Viewable in message user info

In addition, make sure this is enabled in your style:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> Message Elements -> Show custom user fields

Now when a user enters a value into that field it will show the image in their posts.
 
I applied this logic to the resource custom feild but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to apply or activate?

Nothing shows at all? It should show up in the user info area on the left side of posts.

If it's not working then it might be due to a style customization. Try reverting the message_user_info template in your style.
