Problems in administration panel

1. I can't set special ranks to members of my forum without changing their passwords. On my old forums I didn't have to do this. That's stupid... Can someone help me?
2. I can't change profile position... It's always on right. In admin panel I select LEFT and it's on right again. What I have to do? I changed skins few times and nothing happens. Again the same. Help, please.

1) The problem is a bug, we can go around it by highlighting the dots and hitting the delete button
Do NOT worry, this does NOT change their password!
Then change the rank.

2) What forum version are you using, as we may be able to do it via templates, or otherwise we can change it via CSS
