What I want is for some of my members, those who are on my SETI@home team, to have a link to my SETI@home page somewhere in their post. I think it would be cool/neat to have it in the author info area (the left column), right above their registration date.
I tried this with a custom user profile field, and I edited the appropriate template so it shows up in the right spot. But they can edit the contents of the field. This I do not want, because I only want one thing displayed, and only for the certain members. Non-team-members were putting silly stuff in the field, etc.
So now I'm thinking I can make a custom user group (i.e., like Registered or Moderator), called SETI Group Members. I can manually add people to this group. I'm thinking there must be some kind of way the board, when displaying posts, can check to see if the member is a member of that group, and if so, to put this link above the registration date.
I've already made the group; now I just need to know how to make the checking part, and include the link in that spot. Any help, please?
