The problem with only ranks though is that some staff members like their custom titles as well. This fits both that need and the need to identify staff.

For example on my site I have several staff divisions and this will help alot.

Thanks again,

I'm assuming the extra title will be between the regular title and rank image (if any) - is that correct?

Its not reinventing the wheel, its adding a spear tire to the car. Mods can still have a custom title for there selfs, and a title that shows there still staff.

Would if i was a new user on vb.org, and i saw Xenon posting, but lets say his user title wasn't admin, and vb.org didn't want to use the color usernames. how would i know he is a staff member just by his post? With this hack, you can add a little extra title for this.

Like i said, its a small mod, and not for everyone.

Clicked install

Is there a way to use images instead of just text?

[Jaxx]

Thanks. *installed*

Just to clarify for some since I was asked by a friend how to do the postbit edit, open your styles and edit postbit (or postbit_legacy) and find your line that has:

$post[usertitle]

And either above or below that add:

$post[staffrank]

To make it uniform, use the same codes that surround the usertitle tag. i.e. mine is:

				<if condition="$post['staffrank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[staffrank]</div></if>

Thanks for this. Just what I needed to identify what forums my staff members were modding. Works fine and only takes a minute to install.
