Hello,
I use Simple Press on my website, and I have made all my Community ranks in User Groups with an icon / banner. But I would also like to moderate with the same account ofcourse.
The problem I'm having now... Is if I make myself Admin by giving myself all the permissions, I can't give myself a User Group anymore? So I can't give myself the custom Community rank and the moderation power?
What do I need to do to fix this?
Also, Is it possible to remove the Administrator / Moderator text underneath your name because I jave my own banners already?
Thanks in advance!

I think I follow you...
The first thing to note is that forum Admins do not belong to a user group - actually while it might be possible to do so they really should not belong to a user group. They do not need permissions as they already possess global power!
If you want your forum admin account to have a badge we would use (as we do on this site as it happens) a special rank (forum admin > components > ranking). You can define a special rank, give it a name and a badge and add the admin user(s) to it. That will then display in posts against the admin.
Does that help?

Oooh so Special ranks or even for Admins?
Because me as Founder and my Admins need the Admin Tag to moderate everything, but I would also like a Badge with Founder and badge with Admin for my admins 🙂
So I dont want the badge for power but for visuals.
I'll try your option and I willl update ASAP!

Alright that worked!
If you do not mind, I have another question:
I want to update members rank after xx post.
I've set it all up but I'm kinda unsure of it's right or not, I'll send a picture and tell me if that's ok or not 🙂

It looks fine to me. Is it giving you problems?

Not yet, but I was unsure.
But another question about the Special ranks (Sorry if I bother you!)
-> If I make 2 special ranks, then will the 2 ranks share the members?
Example: I make 2 special ranks: Founder & Admin
Then will all the members of Founder also be in Admin and vice versa?
I would like to make a special rank for Founder, and a special rank for Admin.
But the members might not be the same... What right now is happenning?
Thanks in advance!

A special rank ONLY applies to the members you specifically add to that special rank. You can add as many users to a special rank as you wish and have as many special ranks as you wish. The popup help on the 'Special Forum Ranks' section of the admin panel explains in more detail..

I found my mistake... Pretty stupid of me
I wanted to remove the "Founder" Underneath the badge
To do that, I removed the Special rank name, but I also did that by Admin!
So the database saw these 2 as the same rank and gave them the same users!
Is there a possibility to remove the rank name there?
Kind Regards!

We were asked a similar question just last week. Can I ask you to have a quick read of the topic. The question I asked in post 4 is the same one I will ask you....

That "Founder" text is from the special rank Founder, it shows the banner + The rank name.
I would like to have the banner only, so I know where it comes from!
If I change the Special rank name to nothing then it's how I like it! But I can't have 2 blank special ranks because then the members / banners are messed up 🙂
