Shoutbox visable to certian groups only?

The exclamation mark (!) means 'not', so try removing that.

Hi - I confirmed the gid's are indeed as predicted, and deleted the exclamation mark - but no change in performance:

<if in_array($GLOBALS['mybb']->user['usergroup'], array(2,3,4,6)) then>
{$shoutbox}
</if>

still never invokes {$shoutbox}, though shoutbox does appear normally if I simply add {$shoutbox} above or below this conditional statement.

Is there something wrong with the way this is looking up the usergroup array?

As a check, if I simply wanted the GID to be printed to the index page, and a flag to be set, printing "yay it works" if GID is one of 2,3,4 or 6, how would I do this?

(I reveal my total ignorance here - the only coding I have ever done was in basic! many years ago!)
