OK people! I did it. I got UBB 6.
and its looking good.
Now, what I need is multiple ranks! I had it in my board before and I need it in 6.
So ie, 25 posts u r an ensign, 30 posts, ur a lt.
but also, i need to ability to change rank if need be, so if ur federation, u can be klingon if u want!
if ur not sure what i mean, check out www.scifichat.net

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as Cyberdude8472. The link you provided isn't the hack we need. For starters, it only alows 5 extra ranks. Before UBB 6 I had several. You can see the list here:
http://www.section31.com/bbsranks-feds.html

So, I'd like to bring this question up again... Is there a new Stars/Custom ranks hack out that will allow several ranks and images?

Section31,

Are you sure you checked the Beta forum FIRST? There's at least TWO HACKS that will do what you are looking for.

Please check before you ask. And yes, PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND TRY the hack before asking questions too.

Sure did.

There is the hack you've been working on, which currently doesn't offer images (v0.003).

Dark Templar's, which isn't unlimited as far as ranks or status goes:

There's an older version of Templar's here:
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=20&t=000067


There's another custom status here:
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=20&t=000124


and finally, stars as in the old version:

I may just have to use this one until yours goes final.

Well, please, next time DOWNLOAD the item and check it out before you ask.

I know my hack works with images
