Thank you, I'll add that in the next version.

Edit- Never mind! I see it in the extensions tab which I had when I installed prime ban to group and on the left there was another settings link I over looked.
Yes, I thought it would be best if all extensions in acp are under the extension tab. Think most of the other extensions handle that the same.
If you don't like it there you can move it anywhere you want in ACP :D
If you have a specific extension request and you are willing to pay for, you can write me a PM.

Interesting question.
I don't know exactly. Maybe cause I've made the experience users very seldom use the UCP to configure anything.

Ye, that's what I meant. There is no need to let users decide wich color they want there. It doesn't get any benefit for them.

And support is getting nasty for the admin.
Everybody talks about different marked up content.

UCP or ACP ?
Simple answer : who decides the color.

If admin decides for everybody : ACP
If each user can decide : UCP

You might want to give choice, like template choice :
- user choice
- admin choice for guest
- admin choice for everyone (override user choice)

I prefer with this because of "liberty" :) but you're the EXT author ;) so you decide.

And for those who do not want users to choose : don't think all your users are stupid :p

It is not about stupidity.
It is about the workload for you as an admin to explain everything and to support in case of questions.

Who says it has to be the admin explaining?
Why not placing it as another element in the FAQ

I'm not confortable with the idea to see a bold border around unread posts; maybe if it had a glow effect I'd appreciate it more.

It depends on the style, I think. You can modify the css the way you want (:

Feature Request: highlight changed posts with different color

A problem with phpBB is that you cannot easily see if a post has been changed.
I would like to highlight a changed post with a second color. Do you think that can be done?

Also: I think changed posts need to be informed somehow, like New posts.

You mean new posts that have been edited or all edited posts?

Of course this can be done. But especially the second pard is a another request and something very different what this extension does.
This would be better in an own extension. Mark edited post as unread, for example.

Yes, I also think those are two different ext-requests! You are right!
