Sonic 295 Posted January 25, 2008 The rank system from the old forums is now active on the new one. Its basically the same as before but some things have changed. 1) There is no starting rank. New users are unranked. 2) There are no ranks for forum staff, the groups control takes care of this. 3) Custom Ranks: The custom ranks from the old forums are completely gone. No more little images and so on. From now own once a user reaches 500 posts they will be allowed to insert their own custom title. If you have forgotten the ranking system here is is.... No Rank | 0 Posts Private 2nd Class | 50 Posts Private 1st Class | 100 Posts Corporal | 150 Posts Sergeant | 200 Posts Staff Sergeant | 300 Posts Sergeant 1st Class | 400 Posts Master Sergeant | 500 Posts Sergeant Major | 600 Posts Warrant Officer 1 | 750 Posts Chief Warrant Officer 2 | 850 Posts Chief Warrant Officer 3 | 900 Posts Chief Warrant Officer 4 | 950 Posts Master Warrant Officer 5 | 1000 Posts 2nd Lieutenant | 1150 Posts 1st Lieutenant | 1350 Posts Captain | 1400 Posts Major | 1600 Posts Lieutenant Colonel | 1800 Posts Colonel | 2000 Posts Brigadier General | 2200 Posts Major General | 2250 Posts Lieutenant General | 2350 Posts General | 2500 Posts Share this post Link to post
TheBlackOut 6 Posted January 25, 2008 Damn, I miss the custom image thing. Oh well, the custom member title thing is A-OK by me. Share this post Link to post
Inferno 22 Posted January 26, 2008 Damn, I miss the custom image thing. Yeah, there's no chance it's coming back? Share this post Link to post
TheBlackOut 6 Posted January 26, 2008 I don't think it's possible with IPB or if it is... major tweaking involved? I don't really know, but Sonic might have other reasons for not wanting it. I just felt it added a bit of style to the forums. (Plus it made the member info part to the left of our posts look cooler) Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted January 27, 2008 Sorry no chance of them ever returing. I got sick of making them, it was tedious process to create them, set them up and so on. Better off without them. The custom user titles should work out better in the long run. There is no way of associating any sort of image with them though Share this post Link to post
Inferno 22 Posted January 27, 2008 Well, at least you can match them with your avatar... Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted February 11, 2008 The ranks have been updated again. Some little images added. Share this post Link to post
TheBlackOut 6 Posted February 11, 2008 Wooo! Any sign of custom images returning? You could make a guideline where you have to create one yourself, if you cannot, someone else can but if it doesn't fit the requirement, no questions it will be rejected type of policy. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted February 12, 2008 The ranks have been updated again. Some little images added. The members image is broken. Share this post Link to post

You could make a guideline where you have to create one yourself, if you cannot, someone else can but if it doesn't fit the requirement, no questions it will be rejected type of policy. As I said a few posts up the page there will be no custom rank images any more. Once you reach 500 posts you qualify for a custom user title that you can input yourself via your profile page. It can be changed as you please as well. The members image is broken. Care to elaborate on the that? What members image? Share this post Link to post
F15pilotX 4 Posted February 12, 2008 I'm not seeing any broken images.... Share this post Link to post

TheBlackOut 6 Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) F15 has that General icon and it displays A-OK for me. Edit: I have the General image as well. Edited February 12, 2008 by TheBlackout Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted February 13, 2008 I don't see any images for regular members. They're broken at home and at work. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted February 13, 2008 Now I see what the problem is. The images are associated with the actual skin. Since I only uploaded the rank images for the BlueRes skin the boring white skins couldn't find them. They should be loading on those skins now though. Awh, I only get 4 stars. That's the rank for General, 4 stars. There are no ranks after that. Share this post Link to post
Koen 2 Posted February 13, 2008 Maybe a 5* General? Though that doesn't really fit the time. It seems I still have to double up before I'm a General... might take me another 5 years Share this post Link to post
Inferno 22 Posted February 14, 2008 The 5 star general rank is only awarded in times of war, last awarded around World War II. Share this post Link to post
Koen 2 Posted February 14, 2008 The 5 star general rank is only awarded in times of war, last awarded around World War II. We're a Command & Conquer forum. We're always at war. Or are you talking about this "in real life" concept I keep hearing about? Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted February 15, 2008 Indeed this RL is very troublesome... Share this post Link to post
Guest Anti-Marine Posted February 17, 2008 There is a rank after 4 Star General (I think) Commander FTW (If so president bush is going to be replaced by a African American Dude (I hope) or a Woman (we would lose already) ) Share this post Link to post
F15pilotX 4 Posted February 17, 2008 There is five star general, but that is only in times of war (usually a big war like World War II) Share this post Link to post
Inferno 22 Posted February 18, 2008 There is five star general, but that is only in times of war (usually a big war like World War II) Which is exactly what I said. Share this post Link to post
Guest Anti-Marine Posted February 18, 2008 Well, I have never seen a 5 star general just a 4 star.... Then commander is my highest rank Ive seen. Share this post Link to post
