Thread Starter Colors
 

Is it possible to come up with a way to change the color of the thread starter to match their color when they are posting?

All my moderator's names are a different color. This shows up when they post. But I would like for their threads (that they started) to also show that same color in the Thread Starter column. I can't find any way to do that and I was told to try here to see if it can be done.

Thanks!

You could format the $thread[postedby] in the forumdisplay.php file, using the same code you use to format the username's in postbit

Wouldn't this change the color for every thread starter name? I want just the moderator names to be a different color. Would I need to change them on an individual basis?

Are all your moderators the same colour?

Yes... they all show as a different color when they post in the thread. But they are the same color as everyone else in the Thread Starter. I really want threads started by my mods to stand out.

I'm quoting this because this is what you should do.
You should be doing something similiar to this, except you modified $post[username] instead in the postbit.
