Users Browsing Formatting

This may well of been done before, but I did look and couldn't find anything.

This small (ok, teeny) hack changes the way that usernames are displayed in [Users Browsing this Forum:]
on the forum display page.
I'd always wondered why vB had made Moderators names in bold, and Admininstrators names bold italic on the front page
(Who's Online) but no-where else where it applied, so I altered the forumdisplay.php file so that Mods and Admin were
always bold (and italic) for "Users Browsing" too.

NB: If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. You will receive updates in your email whenever I add new features to it.
Also post a reply with your comments, they are appreciated.

Tested on: vBulletin 2.2.5
File to modify: forumdisplay.php (also showthread.php if using with FireFly's hack)
Estimated Install Time: 2 minutes

Damnit, this hack won't doesn't want to work. I modified the code and everything but for some reason the formatting is not being applied, it still shows up as normal font. I setted the usergroup id's to their correct value also.

Hmm, not sure why it's not working for ou Velocd. I've installed it on 3 different copies here and works fine.
Did you definately do the first line, else it won't work. I know because this is why the hack wouldn't work to start with

Around line 691
Find the code:

PHP Code:

$forumusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT username, invisible, userid 

And replace with:

PHP Code:

$forumusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT username, invisible, userid, usergroupid 

If it still doesn't work, you could send me your forumdisplay.php file to vB_Hacks@Hwulex.com and I'll gladly take a look for you
