Forum ranks

How do I change my rank?
In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). Most boards use ranks to indicate the number of posts you have made and to identify certain users. For example, moderators and administrators may have a special rank. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank -- you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.

Have you (the admins) enabled ranks for everyone? Because it seems that they get the "Admin" title under their name but no symbol representation or any or any moderator rank has come, thus I'm questioning about it. Thank you.

No, we haven't enabled this feature. I haven't seen an option for it, I just changed the colours. I'll look in to it.

Persistence is key.

This may help.

Bumping this in case anyone besides me wants to have this feature.

*Idea* We can use your photoshop stuff to make Banners for signatures for each rank

Interesting, good idea, one of you guys will have to enable the option for forum ranks as Spiddles couldn't find it.

I'm actually really busy with uni stuff tonight, I'll look into it If i complete what I have to do. If not, Spiddles should be able to look into it deeper. (he plays Dota2 everynight)

Do these ( one of them) for worded ranks:
To create a rank go to Administration panel >> Users & Groups >> Ranks >> Rank Administration and click on the "Add new rank" button.
OR
Go into Users&Groups / Manage Ranks and create new ranks, setting "special rank" to "No". Then you can set a post number where those ranks are awarded.

For a picture rank:
If you uploaded an image you want to attribute to the rank into the /images/ranks/ folder, you can select an image from the selection menu.

You have to use FTP.
