User Ranks

 Note:

Ranks are only a visual distinction - they don't give any permission or authorization.
Giving a member the rank "Moderator" or "Administrator" does not actually make them moderators or administrators.

Members can only have special privileges when they are placed in a usergroup that contains special permissions.

To create a rank follow the directions below:
Administration Panel  Users & Groups  Ranks  Rank Administration

ranks - User Ranks Untitl10

 There are six tabs: Home, General, Display, Users & Groups, Modules, and Misc. Click the "Users & Groups" to continue.

ranks - User Ranks Untitl11

Under the ranks category click "Ranks Administration"

ranks - User Ranks Untitl13

Click the "Add new rank" at the right side of the page.

Once you arrive at "Rank Administration", click on the "Add new rank" button. Now you can create your rank!

The "Rank Title:" field is where you put the title of the rank that you want to be shown for the user. You can set the rank to be special or not to be special. Special ranks must be assigned to someone by an administrator. Ranks that are not selected will be automatically given to users based off the amount if posts the rank is set to be given by.

 Note:

If someone has a special rank assigned to them, they will be unable to join any non-special ranks unless they have no special rank assigned.

If a rank is not set to special, the value must be changed for posts or else all users with 0 posts will obtain that rank

In the "Rank Image URL" box you can add the direct link for the image you want as a rank. If you don't have any custom images at the moment you can choose from the default ones. If you are looking for specially designed ranks created to your liking, be sure to send a graphic request with what you are looking for HERE. When you're done with your rank click the "Save" button to publish it.
