So this is like member's username highlighted in different colors based on them being ON-LINE or OFF-LINE, right? Would these colors be highlighted wherever their username is shown?

For example, let's say on our forum online is GREEN and offline is BLUE. So wherever you see my username within a post . . . say I'm off-line, it will show my username in BLUE wherever my username is shown?

i have not tested this mod, but since it is asking you to remove the Online Status line i suspect it only colourises the "Online Status" part of the mini profile on the left.

For example:

also you do not need to modify any files as you can do it simply by changing the Language file. i have wrote a quick tutorial on how to get http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/tips/look/colourised-online-status.asp - Colourised Online Status let me know if you have any problems following this tutorial.

Hi Scotty32

Yes it changes only the online/offline status on the left side. It's true that this can be done by editing the language files. There are three reasons why I've written this mod:

- It is our goal to simplify the update-process of the forum. To achieve this, we don't want to edit every file for every mod - that's the reason I've made our own mod-system.

- If you want to add some dynamic features I think it's better to add this in an extra file and not in the language-files.

- Maybe we want to add database-functionality to the language files (to support our own dictionary and multilanguage-support) and then it's not an option to add some special things to the dictionary (because we want the dictionary to be plain).
