Right I know I sound like a complete noob, but I've created a website using drupal 7, I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with it but I was wondering, too separate normal users from administrators.I was hoping you guys would know how you change the colours of names, preferably like the ones here. Thanks a bunch

Well, the way the code (authored from a ProBoards user named Ross) does it is by defining a function that takes a string representing a username and a string representing a display name for the person represented by the username, getting an array of all anchor tags (i.e. <a> tags, e.g. <a href="URL_goes_here"></a>), seeing if the href property of the anchor tag matches a regular expression that looks to see if the href property is a link to the user's profile, and then changes the innerHTML of the anchor tag to be the display name. After that function is defined, you just make calls to the function for each person you want to have a custom display name.
Does that help enough, or is that not quite clear?

is your website hosted yet? Can you host it from dropbox so we can see it?

Hosting from Dropbox, I can already feel myself abusing this.

Okay, it seems that names aren't linked to accounts, so looking for href properties that link to accounts would be useless. It seems that, instead of looking for anchor tags that have href properties that lead to profile pages, you just have to see what all the usernames have in common in relation to the surrounding code (e.g. Is it always the tenth cell of every table? Are usernames the only content surrounded by a certain DIV tag or CSS class? et cetera), use JavaScript to find places in the page where the code matches the kind of code that surrounds usernames, use regular expressions in JavaScript to search for the usernames themselves within that snippet of code, likely using the dot operator inside a regex group, and then doing something with that.
Does that help?

Well, for ProBoards, you can look at the source of any web page on the Dan-Ball Forum and do a search for <!-- Multi-Colored Names --> to find the portion of the code that gives users custom display names. I already summarized what the code does in my first reply to your opening post...
