A question was posed to me a while back, now I'm here looking for the answer. 
If a member has his profile set to "Invisible" can the Admin see if they're Logged on or not?

Hello tenente

I don't see any real problem with your question being in Open for Discussion but technically this is a Support Board question. It's about how a feature works. If you have similar questions in the future, feel free to post them on the Support Board. This board is more about opinions and strategies involved in forum management and usage.

Yes, an Admin can see if an 'Invisible' user is online. A member of any group which has the power 'See Invisible Members:' set to 'Yes' can see an invisible member is online. Of the stock out-of-the-box member groups in all ProBoards forums, Administrator a Global Moderator can see invisible members who are online. Moderator can not.

When the member of a group with that power enabled views the online list, any invisible member will have (invisible) appended to his display name.

I have a new Question. I'm still trying to figure out how to change a members Name color. I was instructed on how to change the group names, But not the individual members.

Try this plugin. Note that they do not work on mobile browsers, and that it also requires a 2nd plugin (yootil).

Hi

Each member has a unique ID.  Using the ID you can place some CSS in your stylesheet [ admin > themes > advanced styles and css > stylesheet ] and change an individual member's colour.

The ID of the member is in the link to their profile.  For example, my ID on this forum is 1480:

support.proboards.com/user/1480

Yours is 254216

support.proboards.com/user/254216

The CSS you would need to add to the styleheet is:

a.user-XYZ {
color: ABC;
}

Changing the XYZ for the ID and ABC for the colour you want.  Add it to the bottom of the stylesheet, so you can easily find it at a later date.

Any problems, let us know

Hello.

Please note that, although this was your thread originally, your previous issue has most likely been internally marked as Resolved. It has also been approximately 7 months from your previous post, which means you have necro'd this thread. Please familiarize yourself with the rules of this forum. In short, you should have created a new thread for your new issue. Thank you.

As I stated above, this thread was moved from the Open for Discussion board, so the post doesn't follow the Support rules because it wasn't originally in support. When I move posts from that board, I try to indicate that they were moved from there, to eliminate this kind of confusion. No worries, though.
