Sorry, thought I did. Add a new plugin using hook location "postbit_display_start" with the code I posted.

Ahh, ok. I wondered because generally there are double quotes surrounding the attributes/values rather than single quotes.

[Kirk Y]

They're interchangeable, I just didn't feel like escaping the double quotes.

[Freesteyelz]

Cool.

I also tend to like to keep everything lower case.

Just an example as I didnt write it to be functional.

[johnrizz]

This is how I did it....

Add New Plugin

1: In Product >> vbulletin
2: Hook Location >> postbit_display_start
2: Title >> multicolored name
3: Execution Order >> 5
4: Plugin PHP Code >>

PHP Code:

$x = 0;
while($x < strlen($this->post['username']) AND $this->post['usergroupid'] == 6)
{
    $_color = ($_color == "gray") ? "black" : "gray"; "black";
    $post['musername'] .= "<span style='color:".$_color."'>".$this->post['username'][$x]."</span>";
    $x++;
} 


just change the colors to your liking!

For usergroupid'] == 6) everyone in this user group will be the same color....

This is awesome... Is there a way to make it show throughout the forum instead of just posts?
