Extension Description:
Shows user and group names in their colour in the @mention list and in mentions in posts.
- First release.
- Names in the `@mention` list of the post editor are shown in the colour of the user's default group, or of the group.
- Mentions inside posts get the colour too, read at render time, so old posts always show the current colour.
- Uses phpBB's own events only; no core files are changed.
- Requires phpBB 4.0.0-a1 or newer (mentions do not exist in phpBB 3.3).
