Color coded usergroups

}
$usergroup_legend = implode(' | ', $usergroups); 


or if you want to control the groups or order of the included groups, you could use this instead:

PHP Code:

foreach (array(6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 8) AS $groupid)
{
   $usergroup &= $vbulletin->usergroupcache[$groupid];
   $usergroups[] = $usergroup['opentag'] . $usergroup['title'] . $usergroup['closetag'];
}
$usergroup_legend = implode(' | ', $usergroups); 


(BTW, I haven't tried these so there could be typos...).

At the risk of sounding like an idiot....

I am a extreme novice at all of this. can you break this down "barney style?"
