Are you part of the “noob” group?

The group names inserted from the theme component are for the current user session. Only the ones within the “noob” group will see the CSS.

You need another solution if you expect to see anyone else’s group CSS.  
It’s a little more complicated because the full user’s group data is, by default, unavailable in the topic area. I believe you might need a plugin for this.
