Colored debian forum account
Colored debian forum account
Some accounts in this forum are colored green and red.
They are moderators?
Why?
How is it done?

Re: Colored debian forum account
The previous poster answered "Why?" As for "How is it done?", the answer is the magic of CSS, I imagine. Theoretically, you could just check the source in a browser window, but PHPBB may have some gnarly code. I'll check myself and report back shortly...cola wrote:Some accounts in this forum are colored green and red.

Edit: Yup, in the HTML around my name, you'll find this (among other stuff):
Code: Select all
style="color: #00AA00;" class="username-coloured"

Re: Colored debian forum account
Personally, I find it pretty appalling that this forum is still segregated.

Re: Colored debian forum account
I don't find color coding related to a user's extended function on the board to be offensive at all. It seems to me that it is helpful to know if someone is an administrator or a moderator. IMO.

I am personally offended by an account name having color when I cannot choose my own color nor can I block colors I do not want to see. I demand a forum change and everyone to be the same color or we all get to pick a color. This unfairness has to stop!

You have your own color. It's black.refracta wrote:I am personally offended by an account name having color when I cannot choose my own color nor can I block colors I do not want to see.

Well, the intended joke was that there were different types of accounts based on the color of something other than names (I'm pretty sure that is not true). Last night there was a colored man in my kitchen. What color was he? Blue.
