Just like invisionize at the bottom:

The whole management color code bar, it should be included in IPB, being as you can color code your different groups, but noone but the admins, or witty people know what they mean. :P

Sure you can mod it, but mods go out of date, plus code edits are messy.

I agree. And like vBulletin, allowing for formatted user groups to show natively in all showtopic.php pages is a must, as well.

I'm not quite sure I understand. You can get the color-coded grops with the prefix and suffix in group options. To show the legend, just edit the active_user_links (I think) template bit. Maybe make it easier to do this without editing templates and such? Also I'm not sure where all it uses the prefix/suffix, but I think that it shows in all active members areas.

No it should show a "what color means what" at the bottom basically it would be one of two things, either a checkbox on the group setting ("show legend on main page") or would look for anything with a prefix and suffic and add them at the bottom

Mainly I want to let my users know that admins are red, mods are yellow, supermods are green, etc.

Sure you CAN do it by hand... but then thats like 6 templates for me to edit every time something minor changes.

Indeed this is a popular feature and should be included in the board. :)
