You're right. The code I posted changes it for the actual profile, not for the member list. :)
Anyway, remove the $status = cancp($level); line. Then add this:
PHP Code:
if($level == 1){
// Show a star for the admin
$star = "<img src='templates/icons/star.gif' border=0'> ";
}
else if($level == 2){
// Show something else for usergroup 2
$star = "<img src='templates/icons/icon.gif' border=0'> ";
}
And so on. :)
