Help!!!

[DsmNikki]

When i have a new member register on my site.. their color automatically shows up as the sponsors color... (members color) is white and sponsors color is (yellow)... if there is anything i can do to make the new members color default again help me on this one!

Thanks

A newly registered user (after activation) goes into the "Registered Users" usergroup - so make sure that usergroup has the default username markup you want.

But thats the thing i dont moderate my users when they register... i automatically puts them as the sponsor color... and not the color of my other members...

What usergroup do they automatically get put into when they register? Is it usergroup id 2? Or do they go to usergroup id 3 first? And do both those usergroups have the correct Username HTML Markup that you want?

[DsmNikki]

the new users fall under id 3 which is the sponsors id.... they should fall under the id 2

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Usergroupid 3 is your Awaiting Email Confirmation usergroup, not a custom sponsered usergroup.

[DsmNikki]

so what group should sponsors be?

[Lynne]

If I were you, I would not touch any of the default vbulletin groups since they are hard coded. I would have created a promotion to move them from the Registered Usergroup to the Sponsored group (a new group you should create).

The thing is is that i have not touch anything! everything is all default usergroups

Correct, so you need to create a new group "Sponsors"

Then, when a REGISTERED USER pays for a subscription, you ADD A SECONDARY usergroup! the secondary group should have the "extra" perks that the user gets for being in the group. This way, when their subscription period expires, they can lose their secondary group and still have access as the normal Registered Users.

You can create secondary groups for private clubs with special forums.
You can create secondary groups for contributors with special rights (avatars, more PMs, etc).
You can create secondary groups with special recognition.

But really, use a NEW secondary group to make it easier on yourself!
