Oh, what wonderful colors!

Post by Haruhi »

Just a quick little suggestion. ^.~

Perhaps instead of having the moderators (and possibly Administrators?) blend in with the rest of the AA community, give their usernames a particular color depending on what type of position they hold. For instance, maybe make the moderators' names red, and the administrators' names green, whilst keeping the regular members' names blue, just to distinguish between who's who. This would basically do its part in helping members more easily view who to ask about a question regarding the site, its members or its policies.

Guess it's nothing big, but it'd be helpful imo.

In the Who Is Online thingy, the names of mods are green and administartors orange. Or did you mean like when a mod posts his/her username is a particular color instead of blue?

Yes, I meant for the names in the individual posts to be colored differently. ;-)

Ah, I see. I don't really see the need for their usernames to be colored differently since their rankings display their status.

their usernames are coloured differently so that they stand out as users with some authority, so that, should we have a complaint, we know who exactly to turn to. and the admin (which, if i remember, is Ken, Theo and Prime Halo) are generally hidden, and then, more often than not, there is no need to harass them, as most of it is either

I realize this, but their rankings don't stand out anymore than the regular members' rankings do. Coloring the usernames differently would immediately let everyone know who's who, and just be more a more convenient way of knowing who to turn to if you have queries regarding something about the site.

Just my opinion, at least.

I've just implemented it on the viewtopic page, but it'd be a pain to implement that on every page.
