Wow I completely forgot I asked this when I moved on to other things and still never readded it. Sorry about that.

> 
> ```plaintext
> .topic-owner > article > .row > .topic-avatar > .post-avatar > a > img {
> box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.3), 0 0 0 1.5px #F99A07, 0 0 10px 4px rgba(244,148,14,0.75);
> }

It wasn’t glowing me specifically as a user, it was glowing my usergroup which is “Owner”, as well as “admin” and “Lead”. I didn’t come up with it, someone posted it in a topic here at one time and I copy+pasted it and it worked as I described which is why I have no idea what (or why). The code you posted works perfectly (I just tried it) doing what you said it does, but I was trying to get those specific Usergroups to glow (both in-topic and from the mainboard, which is what the code I posted originally was doing). I tried altering yours with group-owner/admin instead which simply broke it instead of during what I was trying to do.

Although yours serves more purpose than just looking fancy so I’ll going to use that in the meantime, but I’m still interested.
