Has anyone come up with a clever way to give special consideration or an upgraded look to users at different levels? Is there a way to utilize the s2Member level or the WordPress role?

We have a site utilizing a combination of WordPress, BuddyPress, and s2Member. This site has free members and premium members.

We'd like to give the premium members some preferential treatment ... almost like a featured listing in a directory (i.e. top placement in searches, bold their name, symbol next to their avatar, or any other sign of prominence).

We're not stuck on a particular way to distinguish. We're just looking for a clever solution that accomplishes the goal without rewriting piles of BuddyPress PHP.

You can use the Advanced Query Conditionals to do this in the templates where the user name is shown. You can add a CSS class to the name so you control the look of that group of users with the styles sheet.

WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> Advanced Query Conditionals
