I actually used the tag from a stock image found here. What I did do was greyscale it to make it a rare icon, and then removed the dragon/filled in where the dragon was to make a normal portrait circle.

Hmm - that will mean that making the rare (silver dragon minus wings) unitframe will be a bit of a challenge.

I can do it, just some simple erasing/redrawing.

If the decision is to stick with the <Title Here> images for the "special" ranks, may I suggest that the textual title itself is switched off?

Right now it looks a bit odd to have it say e.g.:

• Mania
  The Hive Queen
  <The Hive Queen>

Agreed.

Mania wrote:Previously the 'ranks' were actually each a separate group, so you could switch between them. (I set things up that way because I had no clue what I was doing.) Now all the ranks are essentially in one group, so you get the rank you get (or you can choose the Haiku Masters or Hunter Trainers group if you have access to those), but you can no longer choose to drop back to a previous rank. Does that make sense?

Another side effect of the change is that it's no longer easy to see what a rank means. Previously you could just go to the group section in the UCP and learn that a "Rift Stalker" meant someone who had a post count of over 450 (or whatever it was). Can I propose a sticky topic somewhere that has a cheat-sheet for forum ranks and their meanings, once the dust settles?

Ooh, here's another idea which might be of use to you Mania. Rather than relying on custom-made images for the <Some Title> tags, perhaps it's possible to say something like:

• <span style="color: blue; text-shadow: black 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em;">Some Title</span>

I.e. use the CSS text drop shadow support rather than have to hand-craft images? Of course, the neater way would be do have it as a style class rather than in each title string, but I don't know how impressive the theme support is.

Also wtb the ability to keep both my purple name and xp bar. *puppy eyes* Personally I really like the xp bar regular users get, but using it produces masses of PMs asking if I got demoted or something. *giggle*

Haha, I didn't even notice that! Most of the time I just glance over to see the giant Golden Dragon Head, and know it's you. xD

We ask because we care

I wonder if there's a way for post count rank (and the bar as well) to be independent of usergroup, with the bar able to be toggled on or off from the User Control Panel. Hopefully that's possible.

Hehe, I know and I really appreciate it. ^^ Which is why I don't want to worry people with it.

Trying my hardest not to laugh out loud here

Could always give Mania, the Stable Masters, and the Hunter Trainers bars that are filled and use that trick Anyia posted to make everyone's ranks look shiny. Then we get both!

Could I get my Green back? Or better yet, I want Orange. Mania, what do I need to do to obtain Orange. Whats the attunement process for Orange?

Oh we should have another contest to get a Orange color!! And we can rig it so I'll win!

But wouldn't green suit you better, Mr. Squee?

I'll tell you Royi. They tell all Hunter Trainers. No one's been able to pull it off yet.

First, you have to- *Attacked by secret agents, bashed upside the head, and pulled into the shadows to have the last five minutes of her life mindwiped.*

*returns from shadows looking rather dazed.*

Blue...five...unicorns...What just happened?

Ahh yes, overall Green would be most suitable, I actually tamed a Yellow Squee (looks more orange to me) to use as my DPS Squee build (Squee is kind of a hybrid right now) ... But I want to stand out!

I want to be able to see myself admist all the Droid v Jedi fighting so I'm going to make George Lucas give me a Purple Lightsaber so I will stand out even though its against all the SW LORE and they had to edit the Lore of Star Wars Canon around my ego! (if you don't know about SW Canon, here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_canon : )


/facepalm You can have a yellow, green, or blue lightsaber Sam, whats wrong with that!?


Azu! You were about to tell me the secret to getting a special color on these forums!

Yeah, everyone else can be forced to have colored names, and I can be the only one with black! Yaay!

Right. Right.

(Nine...goldfish...)

Well, first you have to go to Mud-AUGH! *kidnapped again.*
