How come some of the user names are in bold letters?

I noticed that too. Mine is bold also.

After some investigating and going through the different forums, I noticed that users with < 100 posts are bold.

Correct users with under 100 posts are marked as bold. At 100 posts you gain access to the classifieds.

"blackballed"

Once you hit the 100 posts you can view pics in items for sale forum?

You should be able to see the photos already. The only restriction is for posting in the classifieds.

We changed the color of those in the newly registered group (defined by under 100 posts) to black and the system defaults to bold when you define a custom color for groups with no easy way to control this style parameter

This was done in response to the recent influx of spam agents making it easier to see posts by new members and monitor spam activity.

Sometimes I can see the pics in the classifieds. Sometimes it will say I don't have permission. It might be due to how the OP linked the hosted images?

Thanks Cal, makes sense. Regarding the photos, for some reason I get permission not granted on some classified posts. I do see some pics while others are not viewable. It seems it's probably something on my end and not the forum settings. I'll keep playing around with my settings. Thanks!

That's because the user is sharing photos from a site that requires you to log in to see the photos. Error on user/other site's end, not yours.
