How do I make the rank show up on Legend?

Hi Mandyx,

First, avoid using bold. It's reserved for moderation.

Second, ranks do not show in the Legend. Only Usergroups do. Go to your admin panel and click on User & Groups. Select Group Administration and make a new group. Be sure to make the group either Open or Closed. NOT Hidden. Finish creating the group. The group should now show on the legend. Make a rank for the group by going to User & Groups and clicking on Rank Administration and follow the steps. Add members to the group, then give them their rank via the Admin Panel.

Hope this helps.

I have done this but it still dont show up?

If im not mistaken, the group will only show in the legend if you chose, "Color group users" when you made the group. If you have "Colored usernames" on. Then it should work, but you'd probably have to re-create the usergroups...thats what I had to do for mine to show up.

Ive tried this but it still wont work

You set it to "colored usernames", recreated the groups, made sure they were either closed or open, selected a color for each one, and clicked "Color group users" o.O Now it still dosn't work?

It should 'cos that worked for me, theres something seriously wrong with his forum if it sill doesn't work.

Yeah.. it might be the layout im using maybe?

No...the layout shouldn't have any effect on that, I would go over the steps again.

Im trying to do the same but the group I make doesnt end up at change color or as legend.

EDIT: Now I checked a box so that the colors that I set will show, so now Admin has dissapered and the color I set for that and the new color of the new group has taken its place. My title has gotten the red color when it should be orange and Admin doesnt show in legend anymore.

Could this be because I set me as the leader of the new group.


How it should be:
Legend : [Admin] [ Super Moderators] [ Moderators ]
and my namn is colored: Admin
How it is now:
Legend : [ Super Moderators ] [ Moderators ]
and my namn is colored: Admin
Please help me so I get it right.

OK now I have fixt it but dont know if I done it right.
I put Administrators as a closed group not hidden and now it works. Can I have it like that?

Yes, groups will only show on the legend if they are closed, or open.

Very simply, if a group is marked as OPEN, it will appear in the Usergroups tab on the nav bar and other users can request to join it, and it will be displayed in the Legends.

If a group is marked CLOSED, it will not appear in Usergroups and is not open for anyone to request to join, and will also appear in Legends.

If a group is marked HIDDEN, it will not appear anywhere on the forum, including Legends.

Saurus. You happen to be wrong. If it is a closed group, then it still appears, but nobody is able to join the group.

Only hidden groups do not appear in Usergroups or on the Legend.

Closed groups do NOT appear in my Usergroups tab. What happens with yours I neither know, nor care.

to make other groups that you make show up you have to go to user options and allow the usernames to be colorized

hope this helps

ive had to help all of my friends that started their owns forums with this problem

What am I doing wrong?

I had this problem...it solved after

Change to Yes to colorize usernames in user options under users and groups

when i did that admin color didn't show up in the legend...so i changed the admin group to closed instead of hidden
