Rank Icons

[ShadowJay]

So I've seen this on multiple other forums, and I was wondering if we could do it here too. Do what you ask? This!

This simple little userbar thing that can be displayed under the members avatars to show your rank with a nice little graphic. I made examples for all of them:

So what do you guys think?

[Caite-chan]

I love your examples and was thinking about this as well. And what about ranks from normal members depending on post count.

[EmeraldSky]

Yeah, like pictures of the highest badge they've earned

We were talking about this during planning, and I know it was rejected. If I remember correctly, it was because they look would look very strange on our forum and the majority said no.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Aww, really? I wanted one of those. :P

[Corey]

That doesn't mean this is out of the question, though. Apollo or Sarah will see this, probably.

i would like this

I don't see how it would be out of place. If it sits under the avatar where the title is, it would be fine. :] I think we should have something cooler than sprites...even something like the Conquest sprites worked into it, since they're super awesome and quite good to look at.

Aye. I liked having these back on Pe2k, except I was always bummed there wasn't one for Aggron :I

I like rank icons, but many of our staff have multiple positions so that's mostly why we went with simple text, so all positions can be displayed at once. I'm not sure how that would work with rank icons/buttons unless they were quite small...

That would be pretty much the only way to do so. Nothing wrong with small user ranks after all, but I honestly think that the current text ranks look pretty colorful and neat as they are. That's just me, of course ^^;
