    Bold and Different Color Usernames

    How do I make the username and custom title bold and another color (i.e. blue) if they are a moderator, super mod, or admin. I want this to happen in the postbit and on the memberinfo templates. Thanks for your help!

    Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Username HTML Markup

    In the first box use:

    Code:
    <span style="color: [color=red]#123456[/color]">
    Change the color code appropriately.

    And in the second box use:

    Code:
    </span>
    The help topic ("?" image) has more markups you can use.

    You can use the same codes for the title.

        I've looked all over the usergroups and still can't find a spot to put the codes in for the titles. I also tried the codes in the actual spot where you put the title in (above the username markup field) and it still didnt work (I even tryed bbcode).

          You can use HTML in the User Titles box.

            It's right near the username markup, called User Title. For example:

            Code:
            <span style="color: #123456">TITLE</span>

              I just tried it again and still no change.

              btw I'm on 3.5.1 if that makes any difference

                It won't change if your users have custom titles specified. You may also need to rebuild your titles:

                Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Update User Titles

                    Okay

                    Thanks, I got that to work, but how would I make the admins username appear all cool like it does on this site?

                      Use the username markup (see my first post in this thread).

                        Mod / bold / colour

                        Hi guys.

                        I followed these instructions for my site www.moongolfer.com and have successfully changed the colour for my admin and mod people. However, the names that follow them in who's online are now also bold (but still the correct colour). What can I do about this?

                        Thanks

                          Make sure you have a </span> in the second HTML markup box.
