//coloured username Doc
//--------------------------
		if ($this->ipsclass->member['id'])
		{
			$output_array['MEMBER_BAR'] = str_replace($this->ipsclass->member['members_display_name'], $this->ipsclass->make_name_formatted($this->ipsclass->member['members_display_name'], $this->ipsclass->member['mgroup']), $output_array['MEMBER_BAR']);
