use conditions directly in the templates postbit

eg:

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 6">
<table style="filter:glow(color=red, strength=6)"><tr><td><font class="bigusername" color="white"><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>
<else />
$post[musername]
</if>

and after it create two new custum-userfields and give the users an option to selelct the two colors

eg:

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 6">
<table style="filter:glow(color=$bbuserinfo['field29'], strength=6)"><tr><td><font class="bigusername" color="$bbuserinfo['field30']"><b>$post[username]</b></font></td></tr></table>
<else />
$post[musername]
</if>

$bbuserinfo['field29'] and $bbuserinfo['field30'] are my fieldnumbers

Where exactly do you post these two new additions in the postbit?

you dont need to hack anything

admin panel > usergroups > usergroup manager

edit the usergroup you want to change

username html markup there are two boxes

this is what I add....

1st box

<b><table style="filter:glow(color=orange, strength=6)">

2nd box

</table></b>

erm thats it guys (using vb 3.03)

can't you just use the usergroup html markup options?
