For people who use glitters for usernames on your forum what do you use?
Is there a specific site you use to get them? Or do you make your own?If you make your own what do you save them under?

Glitter as in the special effects/sparkling usernames that users like @Laifot and @Abizaga have? Or do you mean the glow like my username?
 
Special forces reporting :P

It's a really nice feature that almost every forum should have and it's been really popular since late 00s and early 10s.. and really passed the time test :P
 
You rang? :p
Phone Call Hello GIF by Bernie Sanders

Just wanting to show off your lovely glittery username
 
The username glow is just CSS that I got from the old version of Discussion Hub. I just then edit the colours to get different colours for the glow for other users.

The sparkling effects are from a XenForo addon that @apathy developed called Style Suite
Thanks for responding and for the information.

On my end are just CCS code that I added and no need to use a plugin :P even the cool sparkling effects that you see on bayside is just a GIF image and then CSS code put together :) Still no plugin needed
 
I use CSS too, then just target the username class that controls the username text.

I have been trying to set this up on socialhideuts for a month now with not much success.If either of you could share the code you used I would be really grateful. :)
 
If there isn't a special addon for the site to use, a person good with css would have to code it in.

Simple and easy then again depends on the setup of your site and how you do your CSS, Xd

Add to your CSS file:
CSS:
/* Membership Color Group */

.Emerald {
background: url(https://i.imgur.com/);
text-shadow: 2px 0px 11px #04B404; 
color: #2EFE2E;
font-family: Roboto;
font-weight: bold;
}

Then under your members rank, (Group formatting) add
Code:
<span class="Emerald"> </span>

Like I said it be a little different for you but code and whatnot still the same and work. If you using XenFror then @Ash knows the part to do the group formation linking.

Empire posted! But yeah if you use Xenforo find in the templates where the username is displayed and apply it to that! :)

I couldn’t find a add on for it but the CSS works the same!
 
Since you're using Invision, there is probably a plugin in the resource section on the official website. I know on older versions of Invision you can easily just assign different elements via the usergroup section in the acp, but I haven't used a newer version of Invision so I'm not familiar with the ACP layout.

Thank you so much. This works.
I appreciate it.

The software is IVP.

I tried a plugin but could not get it working.
Thank you for the advice.

No need for a plugin, FInd your CSS files and also find the file for the group formatting and link it.
