Hope it solved for you

Please read my post before you reply in the future. I do not wish to show $post[onlinestatus] (which is typically an image or text which shows online status), I only want to underline the poster's user-name with a certain color to show their current status. To simplify this, I'll put it like this:

if user...
  online:    user-name color = GREEN
  offline:   user-name color = RED
  invisible: user-name color = WHITE

Thanks, your solution worked
I can't do this through the prefix manager because vBulletin (or maybe it's just my skin) seems already encapsulate prefixes in braces when on the forum index.

Also, where the prefix text was set in the bread-crumb in the nav-bar & the page title?
