additional infos to this hack:
this hack replaces the usertitle function.
It should work with all vb release since 2.x
succesfull testet on 2.2.0 and 2.0.3
the actual rank is stored in the field usertitle in the table user
This hack includes the function to show a choice of rankings within Users CP depending on your actual posting counter and / or the time (in days) registered to the forum.
example: You can create a ranksystem which will be visible for all users having 60 postings and who registerd at least 30 days ago.
This option is great for supporting "veteran user" of a board, getting rankings which is something special for them.
Disadvantage of this hack:
If a user changes the ranksystem in his profile, he has to post something, to make this change visible.
Changing the Users rank within the admin-CP will directly chance the usertitle.
This hack will not need additional sql-queries while showing the postings. This was the reason to create this hack and not using the multi-rank-hack shown on this board.
If a user has a custom title, this custom title will be shown and not the title given by the ranksystem.
