For some odd reason, some supporters' usernames aren't blue anymore, and their userbar doesn't show up on their profile... Idk if this is just me, but Kura and Drakow are examples. :/

This is only happening on some skins too, Dimensional Rift being an example. O.o

This is a choice by the user. They can select what usergroup they are in, either member or Supporter; if member, they have the normal username, if supporter they have the blue, italic username. :)

Idk if Fabio has more information than me to confirm its gone-ness, but I know that in the past you had to PM Rukario and get him to add you to the other usergroup, that still has your supporter tier but an unstyled username, and then you could switch between the two in the User CP.

Yeah it was taken off moderators due to cases of switching between two status' which isn't good for a moderator (being supporter one minute, and a mod a next), so I assume it'd be the same for smods. If you get 5000 posts and get put in the blogger usergroup then become a supporter you'll have this option by default, too.

Well it was never really something advertised, it just kinda started happening. So not surprising a lot of people don't know about that option. :P

The option isnt in my user control panel so IDK all I see is "wi-fi beta testers", whatever. that is. This is the first time Ive heard you could change your usergroup.

Like I said, you have to PM Rukario to get him to add you to the other usergroup before you get the option to switch between them. By default, you're only added to one usergroup, your supporter tier. By request, you can get the special one where your name is styled like a normal member. But it's only by request; you don't get added to it automatically.
