Hey assassingod I don't if this a problem from the Usergroup Colours per Style hack made by afterburn in your hack. But I have noticed when you a change a registered member and then decided to change them back. So I delete the tags and then the opening and close tags will appear around the members name... for example

{rego}Music Pirate{regc}

And even if you try to edit or change it to something else it doesn't change at all. Just stays the same with the open and close tags around it.

[assassingod]

I am not totally sure what you mean.

Would you mind explaining that again?

[Sam FT]

Ok, say you go and add a color open/close tag to the Registered Members. For example yellow, so you add < font="yellow"> for the open tag and </font> for the close. So now you have the Registered members as yellow, then you decided that you don't want the color yellow at all and want the Registered to back to the way it was. So you delete the yellow color open/close tags, but when you do instead the Registered members names going back to the way it was. The open/close tag appear before and after the member's username for example...

{rego}Music Pirate{regc}

So now the tags appear around the username and you can't get rid of them..no matter if you try to add another open/close tag.

[assassingod]

Ah right, I see what you mean.

If I remember correctly, I already knew about this when I made the hack. But foolishly I did nothing about it, the best thing to do is add something like:

<font></font>

Untested but should work.

[Sam FT]

I tried editing the open/close tags after I had deleted what I had in the blocks. I put a Bold tags, another color tags and even Italic tags, but it didn't do any good. Once you change the Registered members just don't deleted the tags. And I havn't tried it with the admins or mods tags..but the same thing may happen with them.

[assassingod]

Hmm, let my try. Back in a sec.

Edit: I think i've found the problem. When you remove tags, it deletes the replacement. To fix, simply re-add the replacement deleted.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will add this to the install file.

[Sam FT]

No problem, I am wanting to see this hack be as good as possible. Because I think it will help add some flavor to my website plus easier for a member to spot an admin or mod.

[assassingod]

Thanks

Still to do:
WOL
forumdisplay
Add your own usergroup

Also just noticed one other thing..I see on first part of step four when you are looking for this to replace "br>
$activeusers</smallfont></td>"

I don't know if you where wanting the person to replace the < br> tag or not...but it is better just to replace "$activeusers</smallfont></td>" instead.
