After looking into it, I realized that my question didn't make much sense since I determined that setting a user group with an HTML tag changes the postbit in the stock version of vB and not via this hack as I had suspected. As a result, I suppose it would require additional modification to the default vB to have the HTML tag affect only the Who is Online display and not the postbit.

Installed...

Thanks .. nice hack

How come every usergroup except the Registered members group doesn't show up on the key?

It only shows usergroups that have color or style changes. You can change that if you desire.

Amy

well the bar is there ..but it's empty :( and all the users still have the same color

can someone please tell me the changes i need to make to change colors for different users. if i understand correctly, it is in the template manager ? 'can't find where"

Of course all the users have the same color. Unless you changed them in the admincp, they won't be any different. It's done in the usergroup manager.

You really need to study the basic functionality of your forum software before you play with modifications.

thank you ...well, we try to learn a few things day by day :)

thanks amy

Installed with so much love that I might pee myself
