Is there any way to change the method that people who are approved, on the waiting list, and waiting to be approved are shown. Right now just being Bold, in regular, and in Italics is hard to discern.

If you head to Admin > Schedule > Event Signup Status Colors, you can change the assigned color schemes for each status.

If, for whatever reason, your site's template is overwriting the colors, please let me know the address of your site and I'll have a look.

Thanks Chops. That just means my admin status is just not high enough for that option.
