Is it possible to change name colors for friends?

So subs are yellow, sections are pink and so on...

 

would it be possible that once two people are friends could the user's hud (interface) be changed to say green or something? I guess it may help to see who you are friends with and who you are not. So you can scroll though posts and so on and find what your friends are saying for example. 

 

Many of us here have many friends and well being able to tell users apart may be rather helpful.

 

Thoughts? (or am I just suggesting something stupid again)

A few more ways to determine 'on sight' if someone is or isn't on your friends list is not a stupid idea.

I'm not a big fan of changing the entire post to green since that would just be annoying, but if there was like a green check mark or some other icon next to the user's name or whatever I would not mind. I don't really see why you would need this feature though, if you don't even know if a certain person is your friend or not I don't understand what they're doing on your friendlist in the first place. Why do some people add every single person who sends them a friend request? Then again, people change their name frequently and I'm not sure if the name change notification idea has been implemented yet.. (Which it's about time it should be, by the way)

This is something that I've had on my mind for a while now. It's a pain to see your friends on the main page and inside threads, so it'd be nice to have that feature.

Like a separate block on the index that says 'Friends Online'?

That is also a good Idea but then I thinking my idea was to change just the colour of the persons name, say where is has position (under the person's pic) where yours in 'Administrators' Jeric and Mario's and mine are 'Members' maybe change that to a [insert colour] version of 'Members' and make it the same colour on the main page of the website, this could sit on the bottom of the 'prioritizes' list so if you were friends with say a Sectional which I am with 3 now they'd still be 'Sectionals' because I know them from the crowd of friends, because they have a unique aspect the same goes to my Sub or doner friends, but for those of my friends who are not? That is where this change could take place, well that is the idea anyway. Have I made this a little more clear? (I'm better with words then text, you'd better of Skype-ing me rather than this, means of talk)

Basically if a friend is a regular Member (not a Subscriber or a Staff Member) then change their name and/or their Members Title to a color that symbolizes they're your friend. This is so that it doesn't conflict with users that already have a unique color assigned to them. That is what you're saying right? :)

 

What I'm wondering is would this be like a default addition to the forums or could users toggle it on and off on their own? I'm sure people would appreciate having their friends stand out more from the crowd. However in the case that a user prefers the old way, then having an on/off setting for it should be a simple fix. Anyway I think a color change for friends would be a nice feature to have available.

You hit it on the nose right there.
