another way to do this without a hack is the way i have made the rank stars on my forum.....
in the admin cp
When defining the ranks, simply ad a <br>followed by an img tag for the appropriate star image. For example:
Starting at 0 posts:
Forum Newbie<br><img src="images/stars/1star.gif">
Starting at 51 posts:
Forum Member<br><img src="images/stars/2star.gif">
You would then make appropriate images and place them in forums/images/stars.
