Active Option to choose group coloring.

[Ben]

I think I'd asked this before in some thread, but to make it formal;

Do we have any options for picking which of the usergroups are used for the username coloring? And/or, would it be acceptable to drop the priority on the GWF Sponsor group down to lower? Getting to show our support for the forum is great, but I really dislike this frigging pink username.

 

[Crystal]

I'm looking into being able to select what group you want to display as. In the meantime I'll swap the priorities for some groups so you don't have to be pink anymore, lol.

You're the beeeeeeest.

 

[Crystal]

So Executive is now a higher priority than Sponsor, but I'm guessing we're waiting on a cron job to run to reflect that...or maybe sponsors stay sponsor colour regardless of group priorities...hmm...

I think there's probably something more going on than just the ordering, which I did notice had changed. Cole for example has "Coleministrator" above "S-Mod", but gets the green color.



XenForo confuses me in general as Vash and I are set as mods on the D&D forum without actually being in the Moderator usergroup, so it seems the usergroups are just chaff...

 

[Crystal]

It should work on priorities, but also the Coleministrator group has no styling properties so that we could ensure Cole kept his green name

 

[Crystal]

I think it's the sponsorship thing, @shortkut is now gold, lol

I'm afraid, my dearest Ben, you might just be stuck as a Pinky

I think there's another priority specific to the styling? I'd guess this is what's actually used above usergroup order/priority.

• Styling Priority: Within the user group settings, an administrator can assign a "Display Styling Priority" to each group. This numeric value dictates which group's styling (including username color) takes precedence if a user is a member of multiple groups. The higher the number, the higher the priority.

 

[Crystal]

Yeah, that's the priority I'm tweaking, but...well, you're pinkishness is staying put

 

[Ben]

Oh, and I should have emphasized I didn't expect the reordering of all the groups to be done without some democratic agreement... I wasn't trying to be all 2010 "MY WAY OR ELSE!" Ben.

If it's not something individually selectable at the user level, like with an addon, I can just deal with it.

Oh shit, I gotta deal with it.

I’ll take it

So long as I stay my own sucky color I'm good with whatever changes are made.

 

[Ben]

Anything like this plausible?

[OzzModz] User Name Color

Do your users want a way to express themselves a little more on your forum? User Name Color lets users set a custom color for their username or select from a pre-set style you add. Need to ensure users aren’t making themselves invisible? Set...

If we want to change it from pink, I suppose I can take the pain and we can switch it up. lol

Oh that's locked in for good.

Possible, but I'd like to keep it group-based if we can.

 

[shortkut]

Maybe it can be made so you select what group you want to be identified as?

Yeah, that's the change I'm hoping to find an answer for.

I’ll look at it today, @Crystal - got some mechanical works to do on an old car with my dad first, but will get on it this afternoon

But it's not just any pink it's HOT pink, as is appropriate for our sponsors

 

[Jon]

@Ben you can blame me. I suggested hot pink for sponsors because I wanted a unique color. Crystal just listened to me. Not sure why.

 

[Mark]

Because she’s an instigator. Duh.

I got what I wanted, so it matters not to me. I'm on a quest to earn badges and name colors. Like all forums should be!

 

[Mark]

I would be very surprised if other people running XF would be AS willing to put dozens and dozens of badges up for ridiculous reasons.

That's why I'm sticking with GWF.

You know who knows how to beat the shit outta the forum software and a server the best, that’s why.

I know I don’t post here all that much, but I must say I really do love the community here.

We’re collectively like that weird relative you kinda feel sorry for, kinda worry about, kinda view as strange, but you couldn’t imagine going to a reunion and not seeing them because you KNOW it’s gonna be entertaining.

mine works slightly differently. Crystal and Mark asked me to be coadmin with them, but I feel like my best and most favorite times at GW were when I was sMod. so I wanted to be green.

we made it so coleminiatrator is just privileges with no style.

Privilege with no style. Cole on GW in a nutshell?

 

[A Slightly New Used Server]

I noticed Vash's purple overrides the pink and so does Kat's orange.

So there must be some way to override the sponsor colour, right?

Have a personalized color assigned to you by special rank.

Try to suck more and you might get one.

That's a good point...I'll tinker more when I'm at my desk tonight

I don't have any style?

The statement needed a response and it was the only one that worked.

Your style is green Tom Brady.

 

[Crystal]

There's me thinking we'd magically solved the group colour issue because Ben's not pink anymore, lol. Whoops. Still need to figure that part out.

Interestingly the names in the DnD threads override colours back to the server default.

YEah, that's on purpose

 

[Tubby23]

That's what I thought, just seems like it definitely works on override in some places but then others the software is fighting you

Yeah, it's gotta' be the sponsorships, they must take precedence. I'll be running some updates in a couple of hours, so maybe it'll get fixed, but in all likelihood I think it's by design.

 

[Crystal]

Hmm...this is worth testing.

 

[Crystal]

I just made Tubby brown by taking away his executive and then re-adding it. What new devilry is this?!

YOU GET TO CELEBRATE BY GOING FROM PINK TO..

Smoke and a pancake?

[Crystal]

OMG NOW I'M ON THE SOLUTION BOARD TOO.

2023 ending on a strong suit!

You know what they say about the way you spend NYE, it's a projection of how 2024 will be!

Finishing strong!

 

[Ben]

Huh. Well it seems in my case, the solution was to not have enough money in my Venmo account to auto-renew the sub. So being less helpful results in less eye-burn.

But good job bumbling into a solution, TD.
