User Status

I was wondering if some of the tallented folks here could help me.

I have a vBullitine licenced forum and I love the ease of working with it.

http://community.isds.us/

We also have a IPB (Invision Power Board) forum that was being tested and we were wondering if anybody knows a hack or a way to have the added graphics (avatar seen below people's avatar) on a vBullitine.

To show you what I am talking about look at:

You will notice a rank/avatar on some of the users and a designator graphic/rank/avatar which is securely stored on the site which only admins have access to and it goes with whatever user group (forum permissions) you have that user in.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

you can use html in usertitles, so just give those users a title like:
Administrator<br><img src="....

If I do that I would have to manually do it for every user. The IPB boards do it as part of their forums which ties into whatever user group you put the user into (ie Registered, Administrator, Moderator, etc)

AFAIK there is a avatar category hack around which can do it..

I did a search and I have found nothing close to what I am looking for.

I am looking more of an avatar for a user group which will post below the regular avatar securely to where only admins have access to it/change it.

You can try my formatted username in postbit hack. It's obviously not exactly what you want, but it could serve the same purpose (you could have a format of "$username<br><img src="...">").

Thanks for your help. The reason why I am asking for this hack is that I am partial to vBullitine and I don't like the IPB boards.

I am trying to convince the bosses that vBullitine is the way to go for them to shell out the money for future vBullitine registration otherwise they will use that money to purchase the IPB boards instead of vBullitine.

I need to be able to show them that vBullitine will be able to give the same visual stimuli as well as managability for the non technical admins so that at a glance on the forums they can see who has what access thus also giving the ablility to validate their authority.
