Tools you may need:


Tinypic.com for image uploads (we use tinypic because it gives a short URL this is important)
Photoshop/GIMP or your admin panel color picker (for color hex codes)
A mini rank name image (max 16x16 pixels)
*html knowledge (for more complex customizations)

For the first part all you do is edit the rank menu settings.
Go to Admin panel-> Users and Groups -> Rank Administration
Edit one of your existing ranks, or create a new one

In the rank title first type the name you want, for example "Administrator"
Next to make part of the title bold you have to give it an html bold class.

Now we need to give the font some color.
To do this you have to add a vaild html color tag to a font tag.

Warning!
 Make sure all your tags are properly opened and closed. Example <font></font> <b></b>. If you do not close your tag , your posts or forum can be affected!
Warning!
when you use <font color> you have to use the proper ="#6 digit hexcode" , if you do not use the proper form the color won't appear.

As mentioned above don't go overboard with your rank effects. Just changing the bold and color is a whole load of difference. You need the extra space to use images in your rank name!


To add an image to your rank title all you need to do is upload an image to tinypic.com
We use tinypic.com because the image url is very short which saves a lot of space. If you didn't use any text effects from above you can upload your image to other hosts, with longer urls.

- upload your max 16x16 picture 
- retrieve the short url and copy it

Now we need to add a simple img html tag infront of your text

Add an image to the rank name ( + customizing ranks) Puce_bleuHere's how:   <img src="image url" /><font color="#000000"><b>Admin</b></font>istrator

and thats it. The image tag has an integrated end tag /> you don't need to add a </img> tag!

As soon as you save your rank, the image and text effects will appear.
