How did he get two colors as his name? :P

[dyna88]

He used the font tag...

<font color="black">C</font><font color="orange">h</font><font color="black">u</font>

Where is this tag placed?

No.. that wouldn't work. You'd need a plugin to break down the username and switch the style on each letter.

You would also want to use the "<span style='color: #FF0000;'/>" as its more w3c compliant.

You can also use vBulletin's own Replacements system to replace all occurences of "Chris M" to "Chris M" etc

It should be:

<span style="color:#ff0000">text_here</span>

I also tend to like to keep everything lower case.

Well I got bored and decided to see what I could put together, and came up with this:

PHP Code:

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


Dunno how efficient it is, but it does work.

Is that syntax correct?
