Post Giving other Admins on my forum ranks
Is there a way to give the made special ranks to my other admins? I was able to make my special rank, but how do I give the others theirs or do they just do that themselves?

Hello,
There are two ways to give a user a rank:

1) Set their primary groups' rank, causing anybody who's in this group (and has the group set to default) to have the groups' rank.
a) Head over to your ACP (Advanced Admin Panel) and click the "Users and Groups" tab at the top,
b) Select "Manage Groups" on the left hand side and then choose "Settings" (the spanner and screwdriver) next to the Administrators group,
c) In this page you can set a rank for the group - don't forget to click Submit at the bottom.

2) Set their individual rank, which will override any group rank you may have set.
a) Head over to your ACP (Advanced Admin Panel) and click the "Users and Groups" tab at the top,
b) Select "Manage Users" on the left hand side and enter the username of the administrator into the box before clicking Submit,
c) From the drop-down page on their ACP profile (which is where you'll be at now) choose "Rank" before clicking "Go",
d) Here you can set the individual user's rank before clicking "Submit".

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask and we'll be happy to help :)

Q. What do the stars in my rank mean? A. For every six months we are part of the support team, we get a new star.
Q. You've made a member an admin/mod but their username color won't change. A. Make the admin/mod group their default group.
Tip. Categories help separate forums into (literally, categories). Try using them to divide up your forums if they are all together.
