Here's how I did mine in 4.0.0 and it's still working in 4.0.2 PL1.

Create the usergroup as usual with Usergroups --> Add New Usergroup giving it an appropriate Title and Description if desired.

I use a User Title to override the default 'ladder' of user titles and a unique icon to identify them. One particular User Title reads:
<b>Founding Member</b><img src="images/ranks/iconname.png"> where 'iconname.png' is a graphic I created and uploaded to the 'images/ranks' folder.

In Username HTML Markup I make the username a unique color by adding <b><font color="#FF0000"> in the opening tag block and </font></b> in the closing tag box. This makes their screen name red in color and bold.

Then simply change the default usergroup for those members you want in this group.

Remember to update user ranks and titles

AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters > usertitles & ranks

In 4.0.x there isn't an Update Counts in the AdminCP - at least not in mine. I have to use User Ranks --> User Rank Manager --> the link for update user titles and ranks --> then the Update User Titles and Ranks button. :up:

Sorry to but in here but the above code is depricated. Instead of the

<b></b>

tags should be used

<strong></strong>

and instead of

<font color="#FF0000"></font>

it should be used:

<span style="color: #FF0000;"></span>

I don't know what depricated is but it works in IE and FF and there's a limited number of characters that can be used in some of those fields. :up:
