Here's a Group Legend for you to use. It's unobtrusive, and once done, only inserts one line of code into your index templates.
For this tutorial, I will be using the Page Manager Plugin, however you can use another Plugin/Do it manually if you wish.
Step 1: Create your page.
In Page Manager, create your page. These are the settings I used, you can alter them if you wish.
Name: Usergroup Legend
URI Parameter: legend
Use MyBB Template?: No
Page Content:
Page Enabled?: Yes
Save it and copy the URL. If you used the same URI Parameter as me, it will be "{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?page=legend" (where {$mybb->settings['bburl']} represents your URL).
Step 2: Insert it into your Style.
Open up Templates & Style>Templates>Template Name>index>index_boardstats. Find this line:
Replace it with:
If you ever want to change it back, you only need to remove the part after the hyphen (-).
I've attached an image of the popup window. It's not the most stylish out there, but I will figure out a better looking way to do it.
Edit: I've updated the code with a slightly better looking popup. And feel free to alter the Usergroups, I just used mine.
