Why aren't usernames in color of usergroup?

[Connor T]

That make things confusing, at first I thought Micheal lost his dev status. Is this a feature not enabled or a mod waiting to be developed?

[Brandon D]

Where are they not in color where they should be?

[Connor T]

On 2.3.x weren't your usergroup color displayed everywhere you name was? Or I'm just confused.

[Michael]

I don't think the member names ever were, it's always taken a mod to do that. The 2.3 version had it like it is now, with the group name in the appropriate color. Names are only colored in the Active Users lists in the Board, Forum, and Topic views.

[Connor T]

O I wish they were at least in Forum View. I usually skim and look for bolded or colored names to read that topic, because usually its the topic I want to read.

[Michael]

It'll be a simple skin tweak to do that :)

I've always wondered why user names weren't globally formatted as a stock feature. Even phpBB does that.

phpBB is actually the only software I know of that truly does it globally by default, all the rest I've seen don't format last poster names on the board index or when viewing a forum.

vBulletin does it, too, by use of <span> tags. This is how I think it should be done in IP.Board, as well.

But it isn't truly global in vBulletin, there are a few places where names aren't formatted.
