Was it a deliberate move to give PGPS Staff, verifiers and moderators a graphic and text rank?

Everybody else only seems to have a text ranking and it looks a little odd that a graphic should be added to mods etc duplicating what the text rank is saying

It was a deliberate move to differentiate Team, Mods & Verifiers from other forum members. If you read the two posts immediately prior to yours it is explained Very Happy

Previously 'everyone' had the text AND graphic for rank. The board software insists on having the text regardless of whether a graphic is used or not.

Not a problem! While I'm here, we're looking at giving Lifetime members the option of having their rank shown as 'Lifetime Member'. I'm just checking with my colleagues to ensure we're all happy before I make the changes.

This would be on a request basis to permit those who wish to retain anonymous to do so.

Can all those who do wish to display their Lifetime membership status drop me an email (darrenATpocketgpsworld.com) with the Subject 'Lifetime Membership Rank' and so long as we Ok it I will edit your status. Please ensure you use the Subject Lifetime Membership Rank to ensure it gets through my anti-spam and I'll also need your user-name!

Ok, the consensus seems positive so I've created a Lifetime Member rank.

I've already added one member on request, so anyone else wanting to declare their status please send me an email as above, It's important that you use the correct subject and include your user-name to ensure I get it Smile

Does this replace or as well as Verifier?

I think it replaces "Verifier" because I'm sure mostdom was showing as "Verifier" before he opted to change to "Lifetime Member"

...but it's a good question, because if you have a text rank and a graphic, it may be possible to show both for verifiers and mods

Both verifier and Lifetime Member need the individual members agreement prior to making the information public, as all verifiers are Lifetime members anyway I don't see how it would replace that ? - Mike

The system does not permit that, the graphic is linked to the text rank.

As Mike has said, Verifiers are Lifetime Members anyway.

I'm being misquoted there, the decision to retain a graphic for members of the verification, moderation and staff groups has nothing to do with the Verifier/Lifetime Member question.

As Verifiers are all Lifetime Members they will retain the 'verifier' rank.
