    • Global Mod. Powers:
      He moderates all the sections of the forum where he can access (Access restrictions), he can see the anonym users and IP, he can change users' profile.
    You can belong to only one group.

    Labels
    Each group can be identified by a label.
    Label address must begin with http:// and end with .gif, .jpg, .jpeg or .png.
    Here you can find a large collection of labels.

    Appearance of the groups
    You can customize the color of the groups in Edit colors and styles. The switches to be added are .gruppo1, .gruppo2, etc.. and they depend on the number of groups you create.
    Example code to put in "Edit colors and styles":
    CODICE
    .gruppo1 {color: red; font-weight: bold}
    .gruppo4 {color: violet; font-weight: bold}
    .gruppo3 {color: blue; font-weight: bold}

    Obviously, you can edit also the default groups:
    CODICE
    .amministratore {color: green; font-weight: bold}
    .moderatore {color: yellow; font-weight: bold}
    .utente {color: orange}
    .daconvalidare {color: brown}

    Here is another set of sample colors.

    Self-inscriptions and open groups
    You can add this button in your forum by going to Manage groups and entering the code in the box that you prefer.
    By enabling the flag "Self-inscriptions", in Manage groups, the group will be marked as "open" (you can only do so if the group has no privilege).
    If the group is open, users can automatically join in without the admin involvement.
    To subscribe or unsubscribe, simply click on the name of the group of the legend and then click the apposite button.

    You can also add a button with which you can join in an open group without the need to search for the group in the users list
    HTML
    <form action="http://FORUMDOMAIN.forumfree.net/?act=Members&amp;g=GROUPID" method="post"><input name="s" value="c=FORUMID" type="hidden"><input name="CODE" value="01" type="hidden"><input value="SCRITTA BOTTONE" class="codebuttons" type="submit"></form>

    You must make the following changes:
    - FORUMDOMAIN is the domain of your own forum (if the forum is on ForumCommunity or BlogFree you must also change forumfree.net with forumcommunity.net or blogfree.net).
    - Change the parameter GROUPID with the number of the open group (located next to the name)
    - Change FORUMID with your own forum ID (ID).
    - You can change the text of the button by changing the SCRITTA BOTTONE

    Excluding a group from the legend
    By enabling the flag Esclude legend, the group will be not included in the groups legend in the statistics. The excluded group will not have the feature of self-inscriptions.

    Excluding captions
    You can exclude the captions "messages, title and origin by inserting the following code at the end of group's name:
    HTML
    </span><p class="nascosta"><span>
    It is recommended to apply it to a group excluded from the legend because it creates a problem with the graphics (in the list of groups the final ] does not appear)
    The final ] can be maintained using this code, working only on Firefox:
    HTML
    <p class="nascosta">

    Adding alerts
    You can create an additional line (as in this group) by inserting at the end of the description of the group the following code:
    HTML
    <tr><td class='ww'><b>Avvisi:</b><td class='aa'>Testo</td>
