Issue: Supporter Username + Userbar

[Echidna]

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. :)

Wait... you could do that? How do you do that? Just asking...

 

[Captain Fabio]

Oh... the option has gone! O_O

It use to be here, but now the option has gone; I guess the option was removed then! XD​

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.

 

[Ho-Oh]

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.

What the.... I had no idea anything mentioned in this page ever existed O_O
This is all new to me lol. I guess I really need to get into the loop more x____x

 

[Oryx]

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

 

[Rukario]

it really depends on if your UGs are set 'normally' or as an additional UG.. if additional, it will let you select which UG to display.

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.

The same thing's happening with me, I also get only the "wi-fi beta testers".

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.
