To add a follow up question (not quite related but I don’t want to clutter the forums).
Is it possible to add a user legend to the bottom of the forum or web page (again, the only plugin I found that seems close to this gave me a 404).
As an example here is a forum I used to belong to that has one at the bottom of the page: Mostly Harmless Alliance Their legend is atrocious with how cluttered it is, but thats besides the point.
All online users are displayed at the bottom, with a list of all the usergroups on the forum displayed beneath. Each usergroup is set to that the persons nick will appear a different color when posting, but I should be able to figure out how to do that on my own (assuming its not built in to the existing usergroup plugins) as long as I can figure out how to get a legend.
