Avatars

You may have noticed my latest effort at the ranks.

The "ticket" idea was really good so I thought about the post counts and came up with the idea of needing 5 A-tickets to get a B-ticket and then 5 B-tickets to get a C-ticket, and so on.

At the moment the actual post counts needed go up in lots of 20.
0-19 for 1 A-ticket, 20-39 for 2 A-tickets and so on up to 480 posts for 5 E-tickets.

Or in other words:
0-99 A-ticket
100-199 B-ticket
200-299 C-ticket
300-399 D-ticket
400-499 E-ticket
500 plus yet to be decided.

This means that you only need 20 posts to go up a rank but 100 to go up a ticket. When we start getting people to 500 posts we'll worry about the next set of ranks.

Good one Greg, now we're talking - this is an excellent ranking system - and one that I haven't seen before. Better still, it is not condescending to newcomers (I hate being called a 'Newbie' all the time on forums )

Thanks Keith.

Now we just have to start thinking about that 500th post...

I am loving this ranking thing! At one of my other forums, Ultimate Disney.com, it goes like this-

Newbie 0
Member 5
Gold Collection 50
Special Edition 200
Super Genius 500
Collector's Edition 550
Limited Edition 1000
Masterpiece Edition 2000

There's one other rank, but no one has reached that yet.
I am actually on Special Edition as the moment. This is as good as that one, if not better. Good job Greg and Keith!

I really hate to have to admit this but I updated the version of PHPbb I'm using for this forum the other night...and backed up the wrong avatar database.

Unfortunately if you had a special one you were using it will be necessary to upload it again. Sorry for any trouble.

I also lost all the little rank icons and had to remake them all from scratch so it was a time consuming error on a couple of levels.

No worries Calisota - it was time for me to update anyway

Thanks for fixing my avatar Greg - I love it!
