Q&A / FAQ
Q: Does this change which user banners appear?
A: No. Banners are still shown based on group membership and banner priority.Only username style and user title are affected.
Q: Will this override permission-based display group controls?
A: No. XenForo permissions still determine which groups a user belongs to.This add-on only lets them choose which eligible group controls styling.
Q: What happens if a user only has one group?
A: They will see a message explaining that no alternate display styles are available.The chooser is only visible when multiple groups exist.
Q: Does this affect usernames in staff lists and “Online” widgets?
A: Yes. Anywhere XenForo shows styled usernames, the chosen display group is used.Q: Is JavaScript required for the preview box?
A: No. The preview is rendered server-side and works even if JS is disabled.Q: Can admins restrict who can use the chooser?
A: Yes, via the included permission:AIXF Group Display → Use display group chooser
Q: Does this modify core system files?
A: No. It uses XenForo’s extension system, templates, and link building correctly.Completely safe for upgrades.
Q: Is the selector mobile-friendly?
A: Yes. The UI is fully responsive using standard XenForo form rows.Q: Can the default display group be restored?
A: Users simply select the original group (usually “Registered”) again.The old “reset” button has been removed because it caused confusion for staff/admins.
