After years of using tagboard with different user colors, it stopped showing the colors on 3 days ago.

The coding @ the panel is still the same.

Lately I have been seeing unexpected changes @ the site that come and go - this issue is still there.

Added (2018-06-25, 4:44 PM)
---------------------------------------------
For years was always

Code
$USER_ID$= color

today I changed to
Code
$USERNAME$ = color

and is showing colors again.

Another mysterious changes that are occuring @ the site this year dry

The template I had added this feature to is Chat Box - appearance of entries.

originally set to '$USER_ID$= color'

now is set to '$USERNAME$ = color'

The addition places a seperate color to Admins (red) , Mods (lime) and 'members globally' (orange)

It is working now after the change - the mystery is why the change ?

Clyde, in all honesty, I simply can't tell how it was working for you since it's wrong. As you can see from this screenshot, there's a list of variables and a short description of each one. The $USER_ID$ must have a number, if not then 0 is used.

yes - before worked like this: <?if($USER_ID$ = '1' )?>red<?else?>

on friday we noticed the the chatbox globally changing colors every time it auto refreshed (all had one color)

after I posted the problem here, I experimented by changing to:
<?if($USERNAME$ = 'Clyde' )?>red<?else?>

and now is working.

A few years back, $USER_ID$ was the only one that was working for changing uers colors at box and $USERNAME$ was not.

In 2014:

Clyde, as you can see from the Sunny's message back in the days, it's the very same answer I've provided to you:
the ID part from the $USER_ID$ variable is for the users, not groups. It shouldn't have worked for you at all)) We'll check it on our end as well, but it won't be working for you with the $USER_ID$ variable anymore.
