1. No, not at all, but I went ahead and double checked just to be sure nothing I had conflicted with the author pane.
I do have the "Group Color on User Link" plugin that also colorizes the names in the info pane, however I disabled it and the problem still existed after a cache clear, which I stated below.
2. My theme is the default theme with only minor template changes and mostly css color changes. The only thing missing from the authorpane that would be there normally by default are the group titles, which I hid due to not wanting the group "Member" showing." I did switch back to the default theme, but the problem still persists. So I went and disabled all plugins, applications, etc. via the support tab, did a cache clear, and it's still not showing properly.
Pea's secondary group is member, so the green bar showing under Rosybub should be displaying as well. It shows on Pea's profile, just not her author/info pane.
