Well yes I did answer it in the post before. Put it back where you out it before and let me have a look.

Okay I will put the code back in and change the color of the admin ranks…..give me 10 minutes from this message and it will be done. I will leave it there so you can take a look….here is the web address again. www.playstationrealms.com

 

Also I think what you are doing is great and I do appreciate it. I know it is hard work. In the future would be awesome if there was an option under create user groups that allowed you to put in html color when creating that specific group. Personally the admins and mods should come with a color already as they come with the forum software, maybe the traditional red and green?

we use badges for the special recognition you are trying to achieve…  but color would be noticeable too… your adding colors for each usergroup would make a good plugin for someone to write for sp… not too terribly difficult…

Looks like I cannot help out here though… I dont have the credentials to actually see post content…

Yes would be a great plug in! I changed the permissions so that guests can view post content.

first, you have to look at the classes that are applied to all the elements in the hierarchy…  firefox with firebug is great for that…  have you tried that?

second, this is going to be difficult to do given that in your case, you are assigning yourself multiple special ranks… 

to get at one you would style such:

.spSpecialRank-realms-admin .spPostUserSpecialRank {color:#ff0000;}

would make any one with the realms-admin special rank have red color text… 

if you add another special rank, like your players club, they will override each other… 

if you wanted to style a regular rank, it would be something like

.spUsergroup-members

or for a use type:

.spType-User

and then further on which element you wanted to color… so it varies very much on what you want to do… which is why firefox and firebug is highly recommended for finding exactly what you want to color…

I will see about adding a span element or something on the ranks and special ranks so they can be individually targeted…
