afaik the primary group is set based on the groups the player has and the groups set weight so if you want a group to not become the primary group, then it should have a weight lower then what the current primary group is tho really the question is what mr milk said, what are you trying to do

I'm using TAB to sort the player list on the tab menu. There's one group that is like an additional group and not a regular track group. This group shows at the bottom of tab when in my TAB conf's GROUPS:... it should appear near the top. I found a workaround by using PERMISSIONS: instead of GROUPS: on the TAB config and appending group. to the front of the groups. I'm fairly sure this will work and will test soon. Also, I can't set the weight higher because the group that is producing the higher weight needs to overide a prefix. it's kind of a messy setup for hiding and showing prefixes but essentials and lp chat didn't make it any easier.

cause its possible that whatever your trying to do or resolve might not be related to the primary group changing i see, your trying to resolve group tags not showing in the right place on your tab mind posting a screenshot of your tab how it currently is and maybe a screenshot of your group list?

If you make the editor link in console, you can only trust a browser by putting the code in from the browser into the console very pog

hey folks, I would like to excitedly let you know that the issue was resolved by using PERMISSIONS:group.admin,group.mod,group.rank1,group.rank2 to replace GROUPS:admin,mod,rank1,rank2 in TAB config I realized I also forgot to add a weight to the group I wanted to show at the top, but if I do this it won't work as expected as people may want to choose a different group and still be in the other.. the solution #1 work best, "Permisssions" instead of "Groups" i would share my stuff with you but it is resolved and I am very cautious to share it, but thank you for the help
