I'm usually invisible on all forums I frequent. But I guess I now have a good reason to make an exception.

I don't know about the colors to be honest. They definitely stand out, though in a slightly disturbing manner. Monkeypunch had a reason for not coloring admins and moderators it seems.

How does one change those friggin' colors anyhow? I've looked through the admin panel like crazy...

Tom: You've met lots of nice men, Lacy. I'm a nice man. The biggest lie all of you women tell yourselves is that you like nice men, when, in fact, we bore you silly.
The trouble is, you tell this lie out loud and so damned often that some of us more gullible types hear it growing up and work hard to become nice men.
Well, from all the nice men in the world, Lacy, fuck you very much.

Well, the admin/mod colors normally use font color 2 and font color 3, which you can set in the admin panel. However, those colors are extensively used in the forum skin, so you don't have much freedom with them (I suspect that's why we had no admin/mod colors).

I'm inserting color hex codes into page_header.php directly. It's a common workaround for this problem.

I'd want to be a head in a jar, futurama-style.

Don't change them again, keep the current "colors". It might be harder to distinguish who's admin and who's not; then again this setup simply looks best.

Yes, I'm a conservative asshole.

Just remember about this one:

so the newest register member won't look like an admin.

On the other hand, you could give the new members another color, because it looks indeed the same.

After what I've seen here, I don't think any colors other than white, white and of course white will be accepted.
Removing the bold will make the newest user look like a standard user, which is moving along the line of least resistance.

Working on that, but I can't seem to find where that damn bold tag is set.

Edit, done. Knowing people in the phpBB team has it perks. Though I'm sure he was annoyed with me for asking.

Also he strongly warned us about phpBB2. Who's up to remaking the design for phpBB3?

No new color for me today ?

Anyways, you do realize that you've spent 3 forum pages worth of your lives discussing admin/mod colors ?

Well, I guess that means I have to ban anyone who's unhappy with the status quo.

The first page was mostly about other stuff, so it's not that bad.
On a side note, shouldn't Drog be added to the Jarinor and Snowmane moderator usergroup?

He may add himself any time he wishes.

I'm cool with the new colors.

Also, I really hate phpbb3 Xz, I really do. I hate it enough to have prevented me from joined a couple of forums that run it.

EDIT: Meant 3. Not phpbb2. I'm retarded.

So you'd be in support of upgrading then?

Wait, phpbb3. See the other thread.

Basically, I hate avatars on the right, and a few of the little things in phpbb3. If you managed to port this forum's cool skin I suppose I'd deal.

Well, DU hates phpbb3 as well, and he's planning to upgrade the Codex to SMF, so maybe he'll upgrade our forum at the same time.

Well it's Drog's decision then, but one could expact than since he is already an admin and therefore a member of the moder usergroup anyway, adding him to Jarinor and Snowmane would be a mere formality. And it would make it easier to see that he's an admin, and that type of ease was the very reason Drog introduced mod/admin colors.
