Couple How To related to Paid Subs

I hope it is okay to ask these here.

1. If you use paid subscriptions, do you move the people into a new primary usergroup? I was thinking I would add them in a secondary group, but the username markup and stuff will not work so... is the only option to move them into a new primary usergroup?

2. When a new usergroup is created, is there a foolproof way to create it and have it be an exact copy of another usergroup? My thing is having to go through and manually set permissions in 99999 forums. :o

3. Profile Fields usable only to certain usergroups... have any of you ever had or seen that? I am just wondering how people add rank images or second user titles when the implement a paid group.

Thanks so much for your help and patience with all these questions.

 

I can answer the second, when adding a new usergroup at the top you will see:

Create Usergroup Based off of Usergroup:

Choose what you want it based off and click go.

Then where it has:

Create Forum Permissions Based off of Usergroup:

Choose the usergroup you'd like the perms from for the new usergroup.
