well... they can always make me an adminstrator! i promise I won't let the power got to my head.;)

or...

administrator should log in and change the default color for standard members to a random color. saw the settings and then refresh the screen. then go back and change the colors to the standard preferred color and then save the settings. refresh and see if everybody is the same. If the problem continues I'm sure the company that is develops the forums software (named at the very bottom) can be contacted for assisitance. problem solved...
