Usergroup "Color" to members association problem

[thewonderer]

How can I get my usergroup colors to show on the members usernames? Here is my problem... it only uses the PRIMARY usergroup properties thus shows that usergroups colors.

Scenario:

VIP usergroup = gold
Moderator usergroup = green
Registered usergroup = default

When a registered user subscribes to a paid subscription their primary becomes VIP and their username turns Gold. This works perfectly

When a VIP member or a Registered member is given Moderator powers and us assigned the Moderator usergroup (Primary group stays what it was prior to adding member to Moderator usergroup) their username doesn't change. When I take away the VIP usergroup away as a Primary usergroup and select the Moderator as the primary usergroup the VIP paid subscription features never expire because the VIP usergroup was added to their profile. This is bad because of the paid subscription needs to be renewed annualy in order for the site to be able to pay the overhead.

So my point is that the only way the usergroup colors work is if it is the users Primary usergroup. In my situation when a user becomes VIP that users primary usergroup MUST stay as the primary usergroup so the timeframe of their subscription works properly.

What I am affraid of is when a member is a Moderator and subscribes to be a VIP they will automatically lose the Moderator usergroup (which means they will lose Moderator features and forums that are availaible to aModerator usergroup) because it will give them the VIP as a primary.

Any Ideas how to fix this situation?

Why not set up a second vip group vipmods (or something) for your mods that sign up to vip with the same features and perks but have there color the same as your mods colors!

Go to:
Admincp>>usergroups>>usergroup manager>>usergroup you want to change

in Username HTML Markup put:

<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #ff0000;">

in the first box

and:

</span>

in the second.

Remember to change the colors to your preferences

thanks for your reply. As mentioned in my initial post the colors works fine. The problem is that they ONLY work for the PRIMARY usergroup in which the user is assigned.

PLease review my VIP, Moderator, and Registered, usergroup problem I outlined above. That is my problem and I am trying to get a fix for it.
