Hi, I am not sure where to put this thead. I saw tons of topics and not sure how many have asked this question yet. I am brand new to having a website, of which I run with another person. We are using your beta 5.0 but are having a couple issues. They are probablly easy fixes but since this is all new to me I am going crazy! I created personalized user ranks, uploaded them and they all work fine but I can't set personalized user ranks for admin or mods, is there a way to do this? I am also having an issue with sigs on the forum, it cuts off all users sigs in their posts, is there a way to fix this?

Not totally sure quite what you mean by 'personalised' but what we did here was just to create a 'special rank' for admins and add the admin members into the special rank. Did the same for moderators. Even gave ourselves a shiny badge as you can see on the left. Is this what you mean?

As to the signature - I think we will need to see that so if we can have a link to your forum page it would help.

Yeah I made the ranks myself in Photoshop. I would even use the one you have, but we can't get any ranks to display for admins or mods. Here is our site, playstationrealms.com there you can see the issue with the sigs.

Can you talk me through step by step what you are doing with the special ranks please because - as you can see - this shouldn't be an issue.

As to the signature then you are going to need to make a small edit to the topicView template t adjust the default signature height.

From the forum admin Theme Editor, load the spTopicView template. Scroll down to the template function named sp_PostIndexUserSignature().

You will see the parameter in that function call is 'tagClass=spPostUserSignature spCenter'. We need to add some more into that so make it:

'tagClass=spPostUserSignature spCenter&maxHeightBottom=190'

Note the ampersand and case sensitivity. You can adjust the 190 to suit.
