OK, I see evidence that it worked in the Profile of the Vaping Blips Moderator.

His username is red.
Below that it says Vaping Blips Moderator.
Below that are 3 red stars.

Is that what you intend to show up? Just to confirm.

[Vapers United]

Indeed it is. Thank you!

[Kami]

Fantastic! Next, we're going to address the groups that are treated the same as Supplier. Similarly, we are going to append the text I've marked here in red, turning this:

{elseif $[user.group.name] == "Supplier"}

to

{elseif $[user.group.name] == "Supplier" || $[user.group.name] == "Facebook Leader" || $[user.group.name] == "Member Vendor" || $[user.group.name] == "Advocate"}

This time, the following groups should now have their post rank showing INSTEAD of their group stars.

Let me know when this is done. If there is a problem, describe it concisely, ideally with a link to an example.

I'll do more extensive testing later, but so far, they all appear to be working properly. Thanks!

Fantastic. Now, are we okay with the group stars versus post ranks issue? If so, I'll move on to the avatar banners. Since you're not using different CSS for each group's banner, I'm going to provide you with a shorter, simpler code than I used before.

Just let me know if everything is as expected so far.

There are two types of Member Groups that have not been addressed yet.

1. The Barred/Banned members. They get 1, 2, 3, and 5 black stars. They are either barred for a period of time, or banned, so they can be treated like Administrator and Admin, with an assigned number of black stars... until they are removed after a time out period (when it applies).

Strike One - 1 black star
Strike Two - 2 black stars
Strike Three - 3 black star
Banned - 5 black stars

2. Members in 4 special groups. These are Mini Mod (Vaping Blips), Mini Mod (Vapers United), No Beach Access, and Private Access. As it stands, there is no group color assigned, and there is no set number of stars, so they may be treated the same as a Supplier (if the regular member color will be applied to their usernames, that is).

Mini Mod (Vaping Blips)
Mini Mod (Vapers United)
No Beach Access
Private Access

Do we do them now, or move on?

[Kami]

We can do them now.

so, for the banned/strike groups, add them to this line as follows:


{if $[user.group.name] == "Administrator" || $[user.group.name] == "Admin" || $[user.group.name] == "Global Moderator" || $[user.group.name] == "Vaping Blips Moderator" || $[user.group.name] == "Moderator" || $[user.group.name] == "Strike One" || $[user.group.name] == "Strike Two" || $[user.group.name] == "Strike Three" || $[user.group.name] == "Banned"}

Let me know when this is done, and I'll address the next four special groups.

Just so you know, I'll have to test these later. I created a test user named Testing, to be able to test things like this. I can go ahead and add them now, then test them later, but I will not be able to check them right away.

They are added in now.

[Kami]

It's fine. Since the previous ones worked there should be no reason why these won't. Just let me know when it's done.

[Vapers United]

I'm ready to move forward.

[Kami]

Excellent. Okay, so for these groups:

Mini Mod (Vaping Blips)
Mini Mod (Vapers United)
No Beach Access
Private Access

Simple answer: are they set to hidden or private?

Remember: hidden will NOT show at ALL.

[Vapers United]

Every Member Group is Private.

However, these 4 have no group color assigned. Will they be given the normal member group color for their usernames?

Since there is no such thing as "normal member group colour" if there's no member group, I assume you're asking if they will inherit the default link colour for mini profile links. The answer to this is yes: unless you specifically set a colour in the member groups, it will inherit whatever you decide the link colour will be (if you did not specify one in the mp section of the visual editor, it will be whatever colour you set links to in general).

So next clarification: Do you want these group names to show + ranks, like the supplier group etc?

No, thank you. Only the ranks will be fine. These should not display the Group names. Sorry for the late edit.
