ranks/images is not a path to where you may have uploaded ranks, you can only upload into your template images directory. bmp files should NEVER be used anyway. I thought we stopped them even being uploaded. They are not browser compatible. best thing to do is to make the images .gif files and zip them and upload them as an attachment, and we can make them available as a proper rank set. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

If you right click on an image in your template you can see the properties of the image which will show you the path to use. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

But you can upload rank images to your forum template images directory and give a path:

templates/templatename/images/rankfilename

Here,s Howtodoit

1. Goto Admin-Panel--Styles Admin--Edit Templates/Logos,, now
Choose Template to Edit for eg..myff_ 1

2. Now you should be looking at

Upload Image now click browse and upload the ranks you want one by one.(FOR XTRA RANK IMAGE REMEMBER TO CLICK THE LANG_ENGLISH LINK FIRST SO YOUR LINK WOULD BE LANG_ENGLISH/YOURIMAGE.GIF) when all done [b]click submit, remember to make a note of each of the images names you have uploaded for eg.. symon.jpg symon1.jpg

3. Now you have done that go to admin-panel- user admin--ranks
Add a new rank or edit one your choice

Now in the path

Rank Image (Relative to phpBB2 root path):
Use this to define a small image associated with the rank

You would add this code

templates/myff_howtodoit2/images/premnewtag.gif

/templates/myff_thefunforum1/images/ would be the path in front of the image you upload. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org
