Ok, first I'm not sure if this is a hack since there's only some template editing to be done, but I was asked to enable every user set up his own glowing username color, so I did the following...

I added a new User Profile Field and named it "Custom glow color" , then I went to phpMyAdmin and checked what is the ID of that field.

After that I went to the postbit template and replaced this:


-------------------

<normalfont><b>$post[username]</b></normalfont><br>

-------------------

with this:

-------------------

<normalfont><b><table style="filter:glow(color=$post[field10], strength=7">$post[username]</table></b></normalfont>

-------------------


where in place of "$post[field10]" comes the number of the "Custom glow color" field.

And my members are happy now.

only hack to files not templates should be placed in this room Elessar

its cool and all, but i wish there was a way to do it so it wouldnt be on by default, so only if field 10 is filled, does it go into effect.

any ideas?
