Ok, cool. On my end, your name appears red. So I can confirm it's working. Now, if you want more users names to be colored and maybe with different colors, you just expand upon that formatting I first gave you when you edit your MediaWiki:Common.css page. Example:

a[href|="/wiki/User:-_Darkchylde"], a[href|="/wiki/User:Bob"], a[href|="/wiki/User:Joyce"] { color: green !important; font-weight:bold !important; }
 * 1) User:- Darkchylde gets a green name
 * 2) User:Bob gets a green name
 * 3) User:Joyce gets a green name
 * 4) User:Bill gets a name with color #11AAFF
 * 5) User:Jimbo Wales gets a name with color #11AAFF
 * 6) User:Superman gets a silver name

a[href|="/wiki/User:Bill"], a[href|="/wiki/User:Jimbo_Wales"] { color: #11AAFF !important; font-weight:bold !important; }

a[href|="/wiki/User:Superman"] { color: silver !important; font-weight:bold !important; }

^Take notice of the careful placement of the commas. When making a list like this, everything except the one before the brace { has a comma.

If you want, you can do a google search for "hex colors" or "web colors" to learn about how color codes work (#800080 = purple). Wikipedia has a page about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors

From here on out, you'll have to choose which users you want to have colored names, and which colors you want them to have.
