Two questions.

1. There are few users of DP whose usernames becomes red and I don't mean the red of banned. Its something like "light red". What does it signify?

2. I tried to access the profile of one such guy http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=161904

But i was met with this:

Happy Valentine's Day in advance.

 

I think it means they've been banned or recieved too many infractions?

 

It may be a reason. But why cant I access his profile??

 

They are banned members coming back under different usernames, caught out by the forum.

 

The pinky colour that you see is when users change their email address. (i think) they get put into a queue for the admins (not mods) to deal with. The queue often takes a while to get sorted out.

As for why you can't view their profile. Something within VB i think. Either way, thats just the way it is for now. Until they get sorted out in the "changed your email address and now gotta wait" queue.

EDIT: Ahhhh, look . Mr Anderson had a much smarter response than i. . That would also make sense.

 

Oh..so thas the reason. I was bit confused by the notification i got when I tried to access his profile. That is why I asked.

Edit: Two different replies by peter and devil.

 

No, greyish is for emails to be activated.

I changed my email last week and was not in any sort of queue
