Thread: red usernames

  1. #1

    Default red usernames

    I wonder why some of the usernames are shown in red?

    They indicate the cool people

    Seriously, if a user is highlighted in red it just means you added that user to your "friends" list.

    I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.

    They guy I mean is definitely a republican (and maybe a communist at the same time) but for sure I haven't added him to my buddy list (not even accidentally)

    If a username is red, it just means you added that user to your Buddy List (on Whiteblaze, not on AOL or Yahoo!).

    Can't mean this. I sometimes will see 7 or 8 names in red. I've never put anybody on a friends or buddy list.

    seriousely, I haven't added Heather to my buddy list, and his name appears in red. And so many others do. In fact my buddy list is completely empty. I checked this out a couple of moments ago.

    It means you've been a bad hiker and are very close to being banned. Make a donation to the site to reduce your chances of being kicked off permanently.

    I just checked again. Everybody showing up red here is on my Buddy List.

    But that's just me. YMMV.

    Okay, after looking for the third time, there's one person showing up in red who isn't on The List.

    So shame on me. I guess somebody should ask ATtroll or Rock. Clearly, I should have kept my mouth shut.

    You can't score a hit with every shot. But thank's for trying.

    I think Chickety may be right. I was on the 2005 list. I can't seem to change my avatar as I am now planning for 2006. It is a bit misleading.

    I think your right - it's the Class of 2005. We rocked. And now we're in red!

    You've hit the nail on the head if I remember correctly. Also I believe the 2006 hiker group is a different color (maybe blue). I'm sure attroll will correct me if I'm mistaken.

    As for the buddy list it can be found under your UserCP (like most things) or under the "Quick Links" tab on the nav bar at the top of each page. (Dang I sound like a computer geek now...LOL)
