stupid question here

but....

on my mams computer some of the user names are different to others

like Snake_lady has purple round it and Dixie_darlin has red round it and im sure ive seen some in italics and stuff to

but on my laptop the all just standard font and colour

I think that those with the different colors and styles of their usernames means that they are paying members. Thats how they are able to change them to the different stuff. I dont know if that answers your question...It might just be a stupid answer!! lol

im not sure as i was a paying member and mine was normal and i do believe chris isnt a paying member now hmmmm

i notice some odd things you know

there are not stupid questions my friend... ...


Find in the row of SHOP the ways where you can "buy" the changes to username with colours & effects...

ah right thanks Rigel

cant find it lol i know where the shop is but cant find it

just hit Shop Menu ( the place where you buy the gifts to give to all persons that you want) And find in that menu, MOST SOLD is the last item....then you can hit to any that you want and voila....

I think your browser may be the reason you see differences in usernames. Some browsers will not show the effects.

yeah my mam uses IE i use firefox could be that

Thanks Rigel theres still no option so it dont matter i was just curious

Part of it depends on what fonts and effects your computer has available. I used a font in my username that is in Photoshop but was not in the TCS list. It shows up on my computer, but I believe it doesn't show on computers that do not have that font in some program.

Also, most of the fonts that are available to use in messages don't show up on my computer. I think it's the computer rather than the browser because it's the same for all my browsers.

it does confuse me because mine and my mams computers are the same spec same programs

maybe theres something on hers i cant find but one hers i cant even find how to change it to something else thats if it is computer based no settings i can find to say change my own

That's it.

I use IE at work and Firefox at home. At work all the colors and highlights show.

At home everything is just plain. And some colors don't show very well on Firefox but I like it much better than IE.

I have a colored/shadowed user-name, but don't see it when I use FireFox. It does show up, however, when I use IE. Which means I wasted some points when I bought the different fonts & all, because I never use IE anymore. Oh, well....
