Title: Colored name for Pro Members?
Post by: Ninja111 on July 25, 2012, 04:51:13 pm
Pro Members should have their own color to the names like 'friends', 'Global Mod', and  'Administrator' do.
It just makes it easier for Jaekob and others to understand who is Pro member and who isn't
Color I suggest. #04a374

Hope you think of my suggestion.  :p

Thanks,

Thanks,
Do you think when new members just get Pro Hosting, and come for support, that it will be easier for Jaekob and other staff if the person has a
Member Pro group color. That will immediately let Jaekob and other staff know exactly what TYPE of questions will be asked before they are even typed.

I don't see the difference it would make, we already can tell that certain members are pro just from the group there in, like you for example. Its more to do with the fact that not all pro members get moved into that group by staff.

It's not a bad idea, but like Trax said, you have a star by your name. :)

I never even noticed the box. But the thing i say is you shouldn't make it so people have to make a request to join the pro member group. Make it so when a person gets pro you just move them into pro because i don't really see the point of requesting to join the group. :p

It would take a bit of time to code, to be honest.

It would take quite a bit of time to design a system where when a person gets Pro Hosting they're automatically put into the group. It would take a bit of database modification.

No i meant just Manually do it. When a person is approved Perhaps Alex (because hes the only admin) can change his/her member group?

I was thinking that also.

It made me clueless as to why i had to ask for Member Pro, when i already was a Pro Hosting Member.  :rolleyes:
Lol, Do you get what I am saying?
Title: Re: Colored name for Pro Members?
Post by: Mstcool on July 26, 2012, 05:07:54 am
Yeah man i always wondered why they did that. I don't see the point of requesting to join when you already purchased Pro. This should be one of the advantages you get 8). Lol.

Yeah. I never understood that either. It's almost the same as asking your mother if you can be one of her children.

Because there is only one admin and if you think about it, has soon as you buy pro hosting he then as the job of moving your forums from one server to the other and setting it all up. I very much doubt that moving members from one group to the other is his priority.

Thus been the reason why you are given the option to request a group change, and to be honest the only benefit you get from group changes is a private board.

I'm a bit confused. Colour suggestion isn't bad idea BUT PRO members already get a board , in which they are individually answered .

I know this. It would just be something catchy for Pro Members on SMFNew to Have.
I will say this, this is off-topic, most voriaties of people just want to be member for the
nice color array, or changes to the profile that normal people don't have.
If you gave the abilitie for a color change to the member group/profile name like i suggested i bet you 99.9%
that 10 people will pay as soon as they see that abilite. ('Pay to have member status')
I would already be apart of the group, depending of the way you made it, because i am a Member Pro.

Thanks,

Honestly, we'd hate to have our users get confused about who is SMFNew staff and who isn't. I think name colours might confuse someone on that aspect.
