Heya guys, I'm looking to be able to change the colours of the admin posts on my forums. I've tried the group post css plugin but it doesn't seem to work?
Is there another way where i can simply make the Admin posts a different colour from the rest so they stand out?
The forum in question;
www.simply-pk.com/forums
Thanks guys!
You can do so with MySupport, which is actually used by MyBB here. The colors can be changed if needed, just change the ".mysupport_staff_highlight" to your desired color.
Where can i find the .mysupport_staff_highlight ? Is it in global?
You could modify the postbit and postbit_classic templates and add the following:
{$post['usergroup']}
If you post your postbit and postbit_classic templates I'll show you what I mean if you don't quite understand.
Right so I might sound a bit of a novice but where can i find the postbit and postbit classic templates?

Ok, change them to the following:

</tr>

You can then change the background by adding the following to your CSS:
.post_body_4 {
background: red;
}
.post_body_4 {
background: red;
}
Where do I put that? I'm sorry am a novice to this. I changed my post bits on both.
You put that css into themes & styles > themes > YOUR THEME > global.css .
