Ok, so I know there's that shop hack, but I only want an option in the profile field to change the color of the person's usernames. And that shop hack is a bit advanced, and a lot of the people at my site won't use any of it. So I'm wondering if someone can make a something similar to gio~logist's hack seen here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93127

Shouldn't be too hard for you guys, right?

It's very achievable. For experiment sake, create a custom Profile Field with a single line textarea entry. Set the title to something like "Custom Username Colors". In the Description say something like "Custom user colors: Only HEX values allowed." Set max length to 7 and display size to 11. Enable it so that users can edit it. After setting the other definitions click "Save". Remember the field's ID.

In your postbit or posbit_legacy find:

Code:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>

And replace it with:

Code:

<if condition="$post[field19]"><a class="usercolor" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">
<span style="color:$post[field19]">$post[musername]</span></a>
<else />
<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
</if>

Change the "x" for the field's ID and you're set.

Then in Main CSS add this to Additional CSS Definitions:

Code:

 .usercolor
  {
  font-size:15px;
  font-weight:bold;
  text-decoration:none;
  }

The underline, as far as I know, need to be set to "none" unless you remove the overall link CSS values in <body>. The reason is that the underline color will inherit the overall link color and not the custom font color.

Anyway, it should work for IE, Firefox...

Thanks a lot, it works perfectly.

EDIT: Actually, I'd like to know if I can use the same code for the who's browsing this thread/forum, and who's online...

It may be possible with Usergroup conditionals. Doing that will allow users to select different colors for their Usergroups. I'll need to check into that.
