Question about the site

[Supremely White]

I know that Admins names are in red, National Alliance staff members’ names are in green, my and most other usernames are in blue, but occasionally I have seen a few names in purple and some in black font.
What do the purple and black indicate for users here?

Also, I have a question about private messages: unlike my email accounts, where if I send a message and delete it afterwards, it still gets to the recipient, even if it’s still unread. The private messages that I have sent here get deleted to the recipient if I deleted them after sending them, so if they were unread when I deleted them, the recipient didn’t get to read them. This caused a bit of misunderstanding between a former penpal and myself. He originally sent me a nice friendly message, but I hadn’t been on this site for months before signing back on and reading it, and then I sent a long reply, but since he was then away for a while, I had no reply, and I cleaned out my inbox and outbox, and then the next message he sent was as if he hadn’t seen the one I’d sent him. I later asked if he’d seen my message and if I would get a reply, and he informed me that he got it, but it said that it was deleted by the sender (me).
Are there any plans on someone being able to fix this, so that the recipient can still read their messages even after the sender has deleted them?

At the top of the page there is a drop down menu, select FAQ and go down to user levels and groups. That will explain a bit about the admin and users (color codes). I don't private message much on here so i cant give you any advice there.

If you have some time do a thorough read through of the entire site FAQs and Profile settings etc. It helped me understand WB a bit better.

Thank you much! I hadn’t noticed it until you mentioned it, but I’ll go read it.

Hello Supremely White,

RED = Admin
Green = Forum Moderators
PURPLE = Dues paying National Alliance Members (Those that are known)
BLUE = Registered User
BLACK = Approved Account (These are our newest WB members)

I hope that clears up some of the confusion. When I took over as the Admin, it took me a bit to get it straight.

SW,

As far as the PRIVATE MESSAGES, I was unaware that this was occurring. First I've heard of it. I will look at the forum settings and see if I have any control over this.

... Unlike my email accounts, where if I send a message and delete it afterwards...

To answer your question, probably not.

Why do you delete emails and PMs as soon as you send them? That seems odd to me. I keep all of mine as records of what I've sent.

Ha! I've been on this forum for going on ten years and this is the first time I've ever looked at the FAQ dop-down menu. Thanks for that, Frey.
