That's not possible in IP.Board, or any other forum software I know of.

What I could do is allow Guides to set their own user title. Badges can only be set by post count or by group (e.g.: all admins and mods have Yoshi badges, and everyone else is on the post counter-based badges), so you won't be able to change that, but you could edit your user title - the text that appears over your avatar (or personal photo, as IPB calls it).


I haven't touched the ranks. All I did was edit my user title. Normally, they're synced with your rank, but I can use my admin powers to make mine whatever I want.

I approve this

You never learn do you?

I think I may re-shuffle some of the upper ranks just a little. I feel like the jump from 50 posts for a new rank to 200 posts for a new rank is too sudden.

I'd like the idea of editing our title above our Avatar. It would allow for some diversity amongst the guides, because most of us are around the same general post count area.

I agree.

Also, I won't be able to reach the new rank until most probably Sunday or Wednesday.

Does it matter? This forum wasn't created to see who can achieve the highest post count.

Why are you so obsessed with your post count?

I think it's because it's exciting to be the first person to discover what the next rank is (not that I would know).

You're totally correct! (I'm changing the Feld0 part because guides can change user titles.

An update: I did some slight re-shuffling of the ranks to make the advancement more gradual. The rank after Chain Chomp has been moved to 800 posts as a result. I've updated the first post with the correct post counts for each rank that you guys have discovered so far.

Very nice.
Also, want to say thanks for letting us guides change our title but not our badge. It's a way of freshening the place

Oh yeah, speaking of which, the hook I was using that allowed me to give specific groups the permission to change their ranks turned out to be incompatible with IP.Board 3.2. However, I found that there was an updated version available for 3.2, which I installed. It should work now.

Yep. Changed my title to Princess Luna. It's a very nice bonus

Thanks for doing this!
Appreciate it.

Feld0 changed the required post to get to each rank.

I think you'll have to do some heavy research, SPW... (Or just ask Feld0.)

He already changed my first post.

You did this on purpose!

Aw, the ranks were changed. Now I am confused.

Just check the first post and everything will be OK... OR WILL IT BE?!
