Hi there, I am fairly new to php (extremely new, I only got Dreamweaver two weeks ago to start playing with our website!).
I have done a search but I couldn't find what I was after, so I decided to post... I hope I've posted in the right area!
I got asked a question about whether you could make the names of forum members appear as different colours of styles depending on which group they were a member of. (This would apply to the name as it appears on the left column next to the post.
Our site http://www.timbermtb.org/forum would be hierachical too:
Board members (ppl on the board)- access to all forums
Trail building members (ppl on the trail building team) - access to all but board's forum
Paid-up members (ppl who have paid their annual subscription) - access to Members' forum
Members (ppl can post in General forums)
General public (ppl can view General forums)
I am on the board, so I would be say wideboydave
a paid-up member would be say wideboydave
someone just joined who hasn't paid a subscription would be say wideboydave
How would you go about doing this? Is it a feature that can be added in the control panel for the forum under the Groups heading?
Thanks a lot.

Re: Group member colours
I'm not sure about phpBB2, but in phpBB3,
- Go into "Administration Control Panel".
- Click the "Users and Groups" tab.
- Under the "Groups" menu heading, click the "Manage Groups" link.
- Locate a group (for example, "Administrators") and click the "Settings" link next to the group name.
- In the "Group wide settings" section, find the "Group colour" option.

Re: Group member colours
Thanks a lot, that's saved me from going mad!
Yeah, that option isn't available in version 2... I'll need to upgrade the system!
I am about to look into it, but I presume that if I upgrade, it won't overwrite any of the posts, just the format and layout?

Re: Group member colours
The phpBB documentation has a section dealing with upgrading from version 2.0 to 3.0.
