How do I set a "special ranking" for users

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

We're currently running 2.1.6. We'd like the moderators of the forum to have that rank displayed above their avatar. We are not currently using any of the other ranking features.

How do I set this in the admin control panel? I can't find it.

thanks!

2.1.6 does not support that.

In version 2.1.7, as Administrator, go to Admin Panel -> Users, locate the user you want to change, and edit its profile. There in the end of the page you'll find the special ranking.

To create a special ranking, use the "Ranking" menu in the Admin Panel.

I created a special ranking and applied it to a user, and it worked fine. Then i created a bunch of "number of posts" rankings, and the first ("newbie") was applied to the user. I tried several things to get the special ranking displaying for the user again, but it would always say "newbie", even though the user's setting in the admin panel was the special. Even when the user exceeded the second level, it still said "newbie".

Finally, i deleted all of the "number of posts" rankings (including "newbie"), and yet the user's posts still say "newbie". Any ideas about what is going on here?

I guess there is a problem related to the ids.

If you have access to the database console, see the records that are in the table jforum_ranks

If "newbie" is showing, then it must be there.
