Those are forum ranks – in this case special ranks… you can see all the ranks on forum – components – ranks… in our case, we created custom badges and assigned them to each special rank… you manually assign members to a special rank… they get forum ranks automatically based on their post count…

you can also assign custom badges to usergroups and have those displayed…

Thanks Big Papa.  I will look into that

np. glad to help.  holler back if you need more…
