Hey nice one.
I've been looking for something similar to Jimbo's rank/status hack ever since upgrading from 6.05 to 6.3.1.2
This "hack" along with the
More User Rankings hack I can get my members ranks set up fine (A rank along with a pic underneath, not very large)
The one aspect left I'd like to find is to be able to set a custom rank (fixed) to admins/mods that overides the default Administrator or Moderator so that each can be unique admins/mods if I want them to be, otherwise they keep the default.
