Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I like the idea of colored names as well. There is a huge argument against it, and currently UT2k4 does not support it. Someone could easily make a mod for it.
My argument for the colored names is that it simply adds a better way to recognize people of the same clan, etc. It's also easier to spot yourself on the scoreboard. You could take time to actually read, but who wants to do that? Some people may abuse this, i.e. making extremely bright names or rainbow sh*t, but I don't care since by that coloring you can tell what kind of person they are.

not officially anyway. there was a "bug"/"exploit" were you could use a combination of characters to change the colour of text. i think this was "fixed"/removed in the second or third patch.
also, as i mentioned above, there is at least one mod i know of that allows for coloured name and text messages. This is UTComp. By far the best coloured names system ive ever seen in any game (read: >>> than the q3 engines way of doing it
)
I don't like colored names. They are frilly and stupid. If you want to play Rainbow Bright or "show your true colors" go play The Sims. There are hundreds of thousands of people who will enjoy you there.
this is an action game. I only want NECESSARY information. Colored names are unnecessary.

I hear ya Brizz. I swore with my hand on Nietzsche´s Antichrist not to colorize my nick, but on joining .pot. I had to break my conviction and put it deep green. Plain green is cool and good for the eyes but some people don´t really shine with their taste. I´ve seen neon colored html-abuse nicks that morph constantly and look really ugly. In U2 the html coding gave way too much possibilities for abusing so i wont be missing color nicks.

I wished the colored name option would be in the game, but you can have everything I guess Oh well, its not the end of the world.

Hasn't it already been discussed that UT doesn't support colored names, and therefor there will be no colored names in this mod?
Colored names are basically 50/50. Some love it, some hate it, and many don't care. Ok maybe that's a 33/34/33 or something. Whatever. But the option of having it would be nice, as long as you can't change it by script like for instance flashing yellow and blue (REEEEALLLY annoying).
I don't think that it's a waste of time unless you spend time making a colored name already knowing that you're gonna switch back to default anyway.
Color can be used for identification!
Anyway, all I really want are the backslash and a couple symbols...

All I can say is this: if FMI adds colored nick options to utxmp, they better include an option to prevent that from showing on my screen
umm... I agree, or at least they need to make it so that it is a server option... eithe rway it works nice( i just feel a simple system to allow 2 colors is enough, one for the playername, the other for the clantag).
