Exodus Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Add a legend to the 'users online' that will show which colours are for which usergroup. I know you can check forum leaders for that, but how many people actually check that? Plus this would be for added convenience and new members won't be confused as to what colour is which type of staffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujklob Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'm torn on both sides of this issue. I find forum legends ugly and annoying, but they are indeed somewhat useful for people with the intelligence and laziness of a rock. I think there should just be a topic which lists the user groups, information about them, and who is in them (save the 'banned' and 'members' groups).

† Emotional Outlet Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Some fora I've been to have a hall of shame. It doesn't really do much but chronicle the drama of the forum, but it could be an interesting read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be stickied wherever forum/site announcements/updates are posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 We use to have that, (the topic and legend).. but forums been restarted alot. xDErm, the colors are kind of temporary till I can come up with better colors that fit better with whatever theme we have. If anyone wants to come up with some nice colors let me know. It would be useful to make the topic, I'll do that later (If I remember, Hehe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anooxy Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hah, don't need a legend. If it has a different color check in what Usergroup the member is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants to come up with some nice colors let me know. It would be useful to make the topic, I'll do that later (If I remember, Hehe)I suggest a colour scheme, with the admins having the lightest colour, and mods/site staff (if those actually have a usergroup on here) with the darkest. If you go for a dark themed skin (as I've been suggesting since the forums' reopening) I suggest going with a blue colour scheme for the usergroups. Maybe a cross of blue and green, depending on the usegroup. Just throwing ideas out there. ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
