One of my advertisers has asked if there is a way to have an ?Official? poster so that a response from their support person to a post would be noted as from their company?

Is there is any member tag or other status indicator that would accomplish this easily in VB 3.8 ? The idea is to have something that lets members/readers know that we have confirmed that the person is legitimately representing their brand on the forum as they respond to questions or comments.

user ranks?

I have a usergroup called "third party reps" on my forums. Every time a rep from another company signs up on our forums, we add them to that usergroup.

The special usergroup enables the following:
- different colored username so that third party reps stand out from regular users
- User title with the name of the Company
- The ability to use a signature

This works well for us.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
