Brogan, I'll take a look. Not sure how to do the widget thing though.
Just use the "upgrade" group in name only, you don't need to change anything with the secondary user group. You could, for example, create a user group called "Supporters" with all of the default options (just create the "Supporters" user group, don't change any of the permissions of the group) and then have a few XF Subscriptions available that adds them to that group. Instead of a one-time PayPal donation you could have, for example, a recurring XF subscription of $5 every month or $50 every year or something else and of course you can do one time non-recurring subscriptions. It'd be up to you then to decide if you want to take advantage of the "Supporters" user group by displaying any additional user titles for them or giving them any extra options but that isn't required.
