Is there a simple User name hack???

[AnkisethGallant]

Is there a simple hack to make a user name colored? Either allowing VB code or html in the username? Or insteading editing something to change the color of a specific user? By simple hack I mean something a moron can do to make it work, I'm not good at this sort of thing.

AnkisethGallant, please go to this page and enter your username, to show you are licensed. (you will need to use your customer number and password to access that page)
Thank you.

I tried to access the page and I input my password but it won't let me in. Help?

[Steve Machol]

You have to put in your vB customer number and password, not your forum username/password combination.

[AnkisethGallant]

I would have done that a long time ago, but I just run the boards for the guy. The guy got the license, and he doesn't want to give away his password because he's paranoid about those things.

What's the URL to this board you are running?

I need this badly - Is there a way to change the color of the username in the postbit template where the hex code is a user profile field?

[AnkisethGallant]

John, I'm not too sure on the coding, but couldn't you make a user field for the color, then make a new template that has the color in a font tag, then the user name, and have the new template called instead of $post[userid]?

[heretic]

it depends on if you want it to be user defined. if so, then add a profile field, and on the build postbit function in admin/functions.php I think al you'd need to add is:

if $post[fieldx]!=" "{
$post[username]="<font color=\"$post[fieldx]\">$post[username]</font>";
}

not sure if my syntax is right, but this should work...

[AnkisethGallant]

I'll check it when my server gets fixed.

Would it be possible to make a glow work in the same way, also using a profile field?

Thanks for the help.
