MyBB default staff "gids" are:
Quote: [ 3 ] _ Super Moderators
[ 4 ] _ Administrators
[ 6 ] _ Moderators
Note: if you want member profile fieldset to have same styling then...
in member_profile template find:
<fieldset>
change to:
<fieldset class="staff_post_bg{$memprofile['usergroup']}">
Now if you want to then start tweaking post borders you can un-comment the post border styling
ie:
Find these specific commented out areas of each staff gid
/* Post Border */
/* margin-top: 6px;
margin-left: 4px;
margin-right: 4px;
margin-bottom: 6px;
border: 1px solid #008000;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgb(0,128,0), 0 0 8px rgba(0,128,0, 0.8);
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,128,0, 0.8), 0 0 8px rgba(0,128,0, 0.8); */
And un-comment like so:
/* Post Border */
margin-top: 6px;
margin-left: 4px;
margin-right: 4px;
margin-bottom: 6px;
border: 1px solid #008000;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgb(0,128,0), 0 0 8px rgba(0,128,0, 0.8);
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,128,0, 0.8), 0 0 8px rgba(0,128,0, 0.8);
