scratch the above, it works the same way.

I managed to cook this up by altering a snippet a person named cherokee red created which appears to be working just the way I want, which is the opposite of your code. However I am not sure if this is the best way to achieve the results, this goes in viewtopic.php. // Check what group a user is in ...

Well thanks for this mod, I use it as well. Could you possibly point me the way to what I am looking for? I only need to check against a handful of groups to simply display an image or not to display an image to everyone if that user is in a group or not.

I am trying to use this mod to display rank titles of groups so that when a person changes their default group everyone can still see they are part of that group graphically in topicview. is it possible to use this mod that way? and how can I go about it?
