Hello,
I'm looking to add a little flair to one of the usergroup titles on my forum. How do I go about making the "Vendor" usergroup title so that it is bolded and in color?

example:

change Vendor to Vendor

Thanks in advance,
MLF

There are a few ways to set members in a particular usergroup apart.

You can you the usergroup HTML markup (for their user name), use Rank images, and customize the titles. I like using rank images assigned to a usergroup myself.

How many "Vendor" users do you have or expect to have? You could just customize their title individually from the Admin CP if its not many.

User Titles/User Tile manager in the Admin CP are only set by post count.

You can just mark it up in their usergroup.

User Title
(Use this to override the default 'ladder' of user titles)

<span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px;">Vendor</span>

Change to whatever color and size you want.

Tommy is on the right track, you can read the info on HTML markup in this thread, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=303341

we have 10 vendors now ... and that will only grow so doing each individually doesn't seem like the way to go.

tried the suggestion ... I'm not looking to modify the Vendor's usernames but their "Vendor" title. I'd like it to show up more prominently than it does by default.

<span style="color:yellow;font-weight:bold;text-shadow: 1px 1px 10px yellow;">Vender</span>Try this in title for whatever group then go to Maintenance/General Update Tools/
Update User Titles and Ranks
Change the colour to what you want depends what goes best with your skin

Then you can just put the code I posted for the user title.

<span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px;">Vendor</span>

Change the color and size to whatever you want.

complete newb question here ... I know what it does but what does the bold part of the code mean?

<span style="color:yellow;font-weight:bold;text-shadow: 1px 1px 10px yellow;">Vender</span>
