[Site News] Members Ranks
Ranks are given to members that have achieved a certain amount of posts. There has been inquries regarding ranks and whether we will get them at Toys N Bricks. However, we need suggestions for rank names and how many posts till they can get that specfic rank. Please post your ideas here. Once we have enough ideas, we will add the ranks. Thanks for the help !

Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
I'd imagine toystest means either LEGO plates or bricks, starting with 1x2 (though, I'd think we could start with 1x1) - I like the idea of the rank images. That's a built-in PHPBB3 feature, so I can't see it being a problem, as long as someone has the time to produce them.Ice wrote:Not sure what you quite mean with those numbers.toystest wrote:1x1

Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
yes vynsane is right, I meant lego bricks with those amount of studs. Sorry I was in a hurry when I wrote it this morning :)
Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
I hope these work, they are from the pob part of lego.com site.
Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
Thanks toystest for those images ! What do you guys think of it so far? Rank names are currently medieval and ideas for rank names would be great.

Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
I'm not sure if I like them being different sizes. I realize a 1x1 brick is really small compared to a 2x8, but I think it would make more sense if they were all in-proportion to each other.
Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
I agree they would look better if they were the same size, I just could not find any that were shot at the same angle, color, lighting, etcvynsane wrote:I'm not sure if I like them being different sizes.

Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
Would you guys prefer medieval, military, or contributor rank names? Or any other ideas?
Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
medieval works for me, however I've only seen a few of the ranks so far.
Re: [Site News] Members Ranks
I believe the highest there is right now is 50+ posts. I'll get a list out soon.toystest wrote:medieval works for me, however I've only seen a few of the ranks so far.
Re: Toys N Bricks Ranks Guide
Looks good, the only thing is that the administrator and moderator don't really fit in with the theme. Can the images/names for those be changed as well? Or are they set within the code and not adjustable?

Re: Toys N Bricks Ranks Guide
Well, if you're going with the medieval theme, 'King' for admin and 'Lord' for moderator would make sense. Though I'm not entirely sold on the medieval theme. I know it's been one of the oldest mainstays, but it doesn't necessarily pertain to all of your visitors.
I don't know how technical you want to get, but there's a MOD for the PHPBB software that allows you to add multiple 'rank tracks' based on user groups - after installing the mod, you could create groups that users can join that correspond with some of LEGO's themes, like CASTLE, SPACE, TOWN, etc, and then have different ranks for the same amount of posts in each group. For example, a Star Wars forum I used to frequent has 'Jedi' and 'Sith' rank tracks, each with different rank levels. I think they added a 'Bounty Hunter' rank track as well. Just a thought.
