It would be nice to be able to specify colours (maybe even other styles such as font-weight) for usernames. IE, Admins are red and bold, moderator group is green, normal users are black.

Apologies if this is in v10 but I had a look and couldn't see it!

Unfortunately it's to late now to make any further database changes for version 10, so would need to wait for version 11.

However, will look to see if it possible to include HTML for formatting in with the group names witjout breaking anything.

Could you not give the group an auto generated class as an alternative solution that doesn't need db changes?

if ( usergroup == "admin") then
    strCSSClass = "usergroup-admin"
end if

<a href="viewuser.asp?ID=4" class="<%=strCSSClass%>">Tom</a>

Then we can just specify:

a.usergroup-admin
{
    color:#aa0;
    font-weight:bold;
}
a.usergroup-mycustomgroup
{
    color:green;
}

I'm not expecting anything though just a suggestion :)

I think such a system might be to complex for many to setup as allot of customers have problems just typing in the link to the new banner image in the skins page, let alone trying to edit and setup CSS.

This would be great. I would also suggest (if possible) to show the moderator under each forum.

This way, users will know who to contact in case they need any explanations.
