Overview
AIXF Group Display Chooser allows members who belong to two or more user groups to choose which group controls the styling of their username and user title across XenForo.This gives users control over how their name appears in:
- Forum posts
- Member profiles
- Conversation messages
- Online listings
- Anywhere XenForo uses display styling
Users can pick from any of their primary or secondary user groups to determine which group controls:
- Username color and styling
- User title
- Display styling CSS
(Changing display group does not affect banners.)
A new permission controls who can access the display group chooser:
Permissions → AIXF Group Display → Use display group chooser
Admins can choose where to show the link to the chooser:
- Account Preferences page
- Visitor Menu dropdown
- Account Wrapper left menu
Users can preview how their username and title will appear before saving.
