Problem Creating User Group

[MadStatus]

I've been trying to create a new user group entitled Owner. The group is created but I haven't had any luck attaching the title to my username. This is done under the "Username HTML Markup" field, correct?

If not, please let me know. But I've also had trouble with the Markup field itself. I've created the span style, but after submitting the page, the closing backets will break and revert to an incomplete string. If you view the text inside the Markup field, my closing brackets will show as "</spa"

Are these two different problems I'm dealing with here?

- Thanks
