I wonder why do some user has bold-texted ID.

[AxalaraFlame]

For instance, Elvish_Hunter, Crendgrim, Lordbob or so on. Why do these users have green or red or blue colored IDs? Why cannot I change mine?? Does that color mean anything?

[Jozrael]

Color is an indication of what usergroup you are part of.

Elvish_Hunter is red because he is part of the Developer usergroup.
Crendgrim is green because he is a forum moderator.
LordBob is brown because he is the portrait director.

You can look up a Member in the top right to find out what usergroup they are in.

Oh...I see. So how can I get a color on my ID?

[Madlok]

Forum or server lobby?
For lobby:
Bold - registered account
Blue - player or observer in selected game
Red - player or observer in other game
white - just sitting in lobby

Depends on what color would you like.

Green: post a lot of clever comments for several years, then you can become a moderator.
Blue: do some awesome music & art for the game
Brown: do lots of awesome art for the game
Red: start hacking the game, implement a cool feature or kill a bunch of bugs
Orange: kill shadowmaster

You only got blue (actually light blue) right.

Pink: Translate Wesnoth into another language

No love for the translators here? People always forget the translators!

SoC Applicant may be the easiest one to get, and it's a very nice vibrant purple.

I never thought name color could be such a big motivator, though.

See the "Legend:" line way at the bottom of http://forums.wesnoth.org/ (just under "Registered users" in the "Who is online" section, which precedes the "Statistics" section -- at least in the default board style and in the one I use, probably in the others as well).

The same colors are used by those people when they are writing "from their position". For example, if Crendgrim moves a topic (a moderator action) and reports doing so in a post, the word "moved" will be in green. Similarly, shadowmaster acted as an administrator when updating the posting guidelines, so the relevant text was in orange.

You could just assign a user-defined stylesheet that would make your own name show up in whatever color and font weight you’d like.

Oh my...colorered party arrives. How great pressure it is! -_-///

Sorry, can you please tell me how to do it?

Orange: kill shadowmaster

Is that very hard or impossible? Though he must be a very seasoned player, but I bet there should be someone have the ability to beat him on ladder.

Guys....I Really Really want my ID with some color! This light blue sucks! Does anybody know how to change it?

[Crendgrim]

Not easily. Not even with CSS, as the HTML code doesn't allow a determination of the poster. You'd basically have to modify a browser and filter for your name and color it. Not that I'd think it would make any sense regarding the goal, but it's the only way I see.

What browser do you use?
