you're right some problems are still there...

add this to functions.php:

PHP Code:

$bannedusergroupid = x;
function isbanned() {
global $bbuserinfo,$bannedusergroupid;
return $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == $bannedusergroupid;
} 


so you can use $bannedusergroupid in your usergroupid NOT IN (5,6,7,$bannedusergroupid)
