Sure, there are a few steps that you have to follow, so I will make two posts step by step with pictures if need be, but it is a pretty simple process.

1) AdminCP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager

a. Create a usergroup for every rank that you have.

b. Create Usergroup Based off Usergroup: Registered Users (You set it here because it is a secondary usergroup. Will explain in a sec.)

c. Default Forum Permissions: Registered Users

d. Title: the title that you want for the usergroup (This title will not be seen because again it is a secondary usergroup. All Usergroup permissions are based off the primary Usergroup they are assigned to. After you have all of your usergroup names complete move to step 2.

2) Upload all images to: images/ranks I found the perfect size for the ranks on my site. They are 35 px x 150 px. I'll be happy to add them to the forum and place a link on this post.

3) Go to AdminCP > User Ranks > Add New User Rank

a. Number of times to repeat rank: 1 (should be default to 1)

b. Usergroup: Select the Usergroup you are assigning an image to.

c. Maximum Posts. Note: Secondary user ranks should be set to "0" unless you are going to set up a number of post before they get there, just like Super Moderator, Moderator, etc. However, if you set your usergroup up as a number of post to achieve that level, then you need to place the same number here. I'll talk more about this further in the post.

d. Stack Rank: Select Yes radio button

e. Display Type: Always

f. User Rank File Path: images/ranks/name_of_image.png (or .jpg whatever format you are using). Note: You will receive an error if it can not find the file, so make sure you type the file name exactly as it is saved.

3) Go to AdminCP > User Ranks > User Rank Manager to view the pics, edit the information if you need to. Make sure that "Display Type" is set to Always. Ensure that "Minimum Post" is set to "0" except on the users that you have set up to advance in the AdminCP. Let me explain that real quick for anyone that might not understand what I mean.

There are a couple of different things that you can do.

A. Change member title after so many posts.
Go to AdminCP > User Titles > User Title Manager and set up new user titles based on post count.

B. Change Usergroup for member based on post count.
Go to AdminCP > Usergroups > Promotions and set up new promotions based off post count, this option changes the Usergroup from Member to VIP for example.

Next steps to continue... I hope this information is helpful for all trying to do this.
