Colour In Admins + Mods

**theForumCity** · 04-05-2004, 07:08 PM

Hello,

Like phpBB and other VB sites I have seen, I think it would be better if the admins and mods had coloured usernames so they would be easier to distinguish, in both posts and online members section.

Is this a good suggestion?

There is a mod that will do this. You will have to customize it a bit though. It takes some brain power. I am a professional phpbb modder

No mod needed, there's a setting via the usergroups where you can customize "HTML open/close" tags.

Thanks Chroder. Didnt notice that yet. Just changed to red. Not sure if I like to stand out that much, so I may just change it to italic.

I'll have to get the mods to pick a color

Default is Admins to be bold+italic, and mods to be just bold

I've just made admins (ie. me) on my forums italic so the Who's Online isn't filled with all my mods

Wait until I get a few more members before I put them back

Yeah, as Chroder said, the bold for mods and bold+italic for admins would look nicer than distinct colours!

yep - now that looks nice!

I just visited another forum with the vB3 upgrade. They used the different colors for the admins, and various mods. They used blues and greens. It looked pretty good.
