Rank Images?
 

Hello,
I was on a forum and I noticed that it had specific icons for that user


example:
http://i49.tinypic.com/2gwcend.jpg

since he's a donater, he has 3 piles of money
and since he has a certain amount of posts, he has an armour set
(under the user title btw)


how is this done? i have some nice rank images, and i have no clue how to use them, please assist :D

Try using User Ranks in ACP. They are tied to usergroups

so in other words, i gotta make like 500 usergroups?!

Nope, but you gotta create 500 user ranks if you have 500 different rank images :P Then you can specify how many posts you need for each rank and tie each rank image to a usergroup.
