With help from Palmer of Shinra, we have adapted this to work on 2.2.1...

Find this:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start buildpostbit #######################
function getpostbit($post) {
// sorts through all the stuff to return the postbit template

    // user
    global $bbuserinfo,$session,$ignore,$cookietimeout;
    // showthread
    global $counter,$firstnew,$sigcache,$highlight,$postid,$forum;
    // global options
    global $showdeficon,$displayemails,$enablepms,$allowsignatures,$wordwrap,$dateformat,$timeformat,$logip,$replacewords,$postsperday,$avatarenabled,$registereddateformat,$viewattachedimages; 


And add this below it:

PHP Code:

// begin glowing admin 
    $post[specialusername] = $post[username];

    $usergroupid=$post[usergroupid];
    if ($usergroupid == 6) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=red, strength=6)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }

    if ($usergroupid == 5) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=orange, strength=8)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }

    if ($usergroupid == 7) { $post[specialusername] = "<table style=\"filter:glow(color=blue, strength=8)\"><tr><td><font size='-1' color='white'><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>"; }
// end glowing admins 


Then go edit your postbit template and change this:

[username]

to this:

[specialusername]

________________________________________________


This makes your usernames glow as follows:

Mods glow in blue
Super Mods in orange
Admins in red.
