No add-on needed.
Open the sidebar_online_users template and find this:
Add this below, adjusting the color and phrasing accordingly to match your user groups' colors and names:
If a phrase doesn't exist, I suggest creating one instead of hard-coding it so it can be easily changed later, using your site initials so you know it's custom. For example, khflare_custom phrase.
Open the sidebar_online_users template and find this:
Code:
<div class="footnote">
{xen:phrase online_now_x_members_y_guests_z_robots_a, 'total={xen:number $onlineUsers.total}', 'members={xen:number $onlineUsers.members}', 'guests={xen:number $onlineUsers.guests}', 'robots={xen:number $onlineUsers.robots}'}

<font color="#FF0000">{xen:phrase administrators}</font>, <font color="#0000FF">{xen:phrase moderators}</font>If a phrase doesn't exist, I suggest creating one instead of hard-coding it so it can be easily changed later, using your site initials so you know it's custom.

Thank you so very much!
However, as I know nothing about coding, except to cut and paste, I don't under stand where or how to place your suggestion (khflare_custom).

I am having an issue in that I get a syntax error when I use a multi word title, i.e. Global Moderator, VIP Elite. The only way it works is to place an underscore in between the words. is there a character i can use that won't show up?

The khflare_custom_phrase was an example. Change it to reflect your site initials and your actual phrase name.
Are you referring to when trying to create a phrase? If so, that is correct. The title requires underscores, but the actual text it displays comes from the Phrase Text field.
For example:
This is an example phrase will be the text you see.
Then you just call it within the template followed by the color coding as I posted above:

No, when I used the code you showed me some of the User Group Titles are two words, i.e., VIP Gold, Top Poster, etc.
In order for me to get them to show up I have had to use and under score between the words per the attached picture.
How can I do this so there is no need for some sort of character in between each word.

pardon my ignorance, but i haven't a clue what that means nor how to do it.

Ok, I found the section, but not knowing how to write code I don't know what is required to make Phrases.

I got it!
Thank you so much for your help and patience!
Now to make each members user group show up instead of everyone showing up "tan"
Craig

I had already done that, and the color is shown in post bit, profiles, etc, but NOT in the Members Online Area. I thought at one time this was an add-on.....

You need to make the usernames rich in the sidebar_online_users template.

Make this change:
Search:
Code:
class="username{xen:if '!{$user.visible}', ' invisible'}{xen:if {$user.followed}, ' followed'}">{$user.username}</a><xen:if is="{$i} < {$onlineUsers.limit}">,</xen:if>Make this change:
