Those Black Usernames...Volte 12-15-2001, 10:36 AM OK, I've been wondering this for a long time. I even asked Thinker and he didn't know, so maybe one of the other mods or admins (or anyone that has experience with WWWThreads?) could tell me: why are some of the usernames black. On my forum color scheme, the background is a very dark navy blue. Now, black on dark dark blue makes it sometimes hard to read, and I was just wondering what's up with that. So... anyone know? Squirm 12-15-2001, 10:51 AM Someone told me that they were visited links i.e. you have looked at that person's personal profile. However, I can confirm that this isn't the case, because even some new members who I never seen before come up black to me. Most strange. I get Bonzo in black all the time, what about you? Who do you get in black? Maybe there is some strange connection... Volte 12-15-2001, 10:53 AM Bonzo, Spike, Ryo2 and RussianSpy are just a few examples... before he became <font color=orange>orange</font color=orange>, usetheforce2 was black, too. robot313 12-15-2001, 10:54 AM Clear your temp net files just to see what happens... Squirm 12-15-2001, 10:55 AM Yup, those ones I always get black, including usetheforce2, until he got Expert'ed. This is strange... robot313 12-15-2001, 11:08 AM Yeah I get at least two of those black too. Maybe others as well... Ales Zigon 12-15-2001, 11:58 AM Strange, but I have only those names black, wich I've added to my adress book. And my colour scheme is default (I think) - gray/blue. Thinker 12-15-2001, 12:27 PM Squirm, it doesn't explain the whole thing, but it is true that if I click on a name link, that name then shows up as black. I wish I knew of some black names that I haven't clicked on before. Volte 12-15-2001, 12:41 PM I think I got it. If you look at their profiles, every single one of the black users registered before 2001. Is there a reason for this? Spike 12-15-2001, 12:53 PM i have always wondered why my name was black too...

Looks like older usernames were brought in from another system, and the user color field is not identical to the user color field for users who register in this system. I changed Spike to match and from this point forward, Spike's posts should have his name in dark blue.
