Usergroup in postbit

[psx-dude]

This is just a small hack that has your usergroup near your name, to show who really has the power in your forums :p.

good hack!
But I think use a switch to $post[usergroupid] is a better way.
I had a hack like this to swithch usergroup in different icon in post.

nice idea, but not very hard to do :)

why don't do this for every usergroup and read out the groupnames from the database?
ok, one more query for each post isn't soo good.

I also agree, its pretty easy to achieve, but nonetheless userful.

ps: Psx-dude your forums have a very high most users-ever online (105) compared to the amount of users you have registered (202). Great job on achieving that, since its pretty rare ;) I have known sites with a max of 13 users online and over 600 members registered.

I believe that was an error in vb2.2.5, apparently most of the users had the same ip addressess...

i love this idea, but have one issue with it...

i chose not to put it next to the name, but under it, right about the avatar

my issue is that for regular registered users, they have a blank space where admin would normally go

i know it's possible not to have this space here, because the age in postbit hack i just installed works that way, but I do not know enough about php and hacking to make the change.

can anyone help? was I clear at least?

[Xenon]

well put it next to the username but add a <br> before the Admin/Supermod and so on in the php file, so the linebreak will just occur if the user is in one of this groups

nice hack. Now that I've Xenon's info I'll install it as well ^_^
