DOUBLE POSTING TO SHOW HOW IT WOULD LOOK

Xz, the bold black would look horrible on a maroon background. Just see for yourself.

 

What about giving the new members a light green color, you know they are coming here green as grass?

 

Well, that would only count for a few moments, since it's nothing unusual when there are several new members a day, and he would be green only in the "The newest registered user is" box and not in the "Registered Users:" box (without any tech work, I believe). Not to mention how the light green on maroon would make the whole "Who is online" panel look extremely color crazy compared to the rest of the boards.

 

You seem to be the only one who's against the change.

Gold looks good enough, seems to be liked by everyone else. Silver is OK as well, it fits the theme anyhow. Unless we get more objections, the colors stay as is.

 

I'm not happy with the strict present settings. So for my vote, just to summarise and clearify, I support these three color settings, in pecking order:

• Drog's primary changed colors
  member moderator administrator
  
• Present settings with my suggestion of a silver member and a white moderator
  member moderator administrator
  
• Xz's latest suggestion
  member moderator administrator

 

BTW, italics are already used for hidden members (they're visible when you're logged in as admin).

 

Ah yes, I personaly forgot about that one. But I don't think it makes any difference for the admins, and the whole colors are half for aesthetics, half for helping the users (mostly new ones) recognise who is who, while the admins know that already. Unless admins want to know who is hidden, that is.

 

I'm usually invisible on all forums I frequent. But I guess I now have a good reason to make an exception.

 

Well, the admin/mod colors normally use font color 2 and font color 3, which you can set in the admin panel. However, those colors are extensively used in the forum skin, so you don't have much freedom with them (I suspect that's why we had no admin/mod colors).

I'm inserting color hex codes into page_header.php directly. It's a common workaround for this problem.

 

I'd want to be a head in a jar, futurama-style.

 

Just remember about this one:

so the newest register member won't look like an admin.

 

On the other hand, you could give the new members another color, because it looks indeed the same.

 

After what I've seen here, I don't think any colors other than white, white and of course white will be accepted.
Removing the bold will make the newest user look like a standard user, which is moving along the line of least resistance.
