Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen. I don't have that power, anyway.

<i>But</i>, you can see what your posts would look like if you were an admin, by messing around with this script I wrote:

http://tim.digitalfault.com/eoff/ck

I wrote it just so you can observe what your poster information would like like with, say, a shiny blue "Cid's Knight" title, or any other title associated with various special usergroups (unless I forgot any).

I probably made it more complicated than it should be by adding a bunch more customization options. Anyhoo, it's just for fun; I hope some may found enjoyment out of it :).

Okay, I decided that Administrator looks so much nicer than Former Staff under my name. I demand/bribe someone to change it ^_^

I forgot to put in the "banned" title, so I'll have to eventually go back and mess with the code anyway.

Make some suggestions, and I might be able to work them into the script.
And, why did I put an apostrophe in "Want" ? :confused:

surprisingly, power holds no interest for me. because i only love one thing, alcohol. :roll:Create a position of 'one who loves to get wasted'- i can do that.
ps. at the time of writing this i am only slightly wasted:p

you could get rid of the character length under custom titles since we're dreaming here:D

That's really neat.
Thanks. :)

I thought 25 characters was entirely reasonable, but you just can't please some people. *sigh* :p

As you wish (that is, I'll fix it when I get a couple more complaints, then I'll go in a make all the changes at once).

EDIT: Wow, really messed that one up.

Oh, you should disable magic_quotes_gpc on your server (or use stripslashes() on all your input) to get rid of all those \' and \" escaping apostrophies of doom

That is pretty cool. Good work. :D

Recognized member? Why be recognized when you could be infamous? (i.e. a Cid's Knight) ;)

Hey hey! I just noticed this is a double "present" for newbies so not only they'll see themselves as an admin or staff, but they'll also see themselves with a custom rank! :D

I've used stripslashes() in the past, but I just couldn't remember the function name (and I haven't talked to the server admin in a while). When I go through and revise it, I'll remember that. It's been a while since I wrote any PHP code, and thanks for the heads up.


Hey hey! I just noticed this is a double "present" for newbies so not only they'll see themselves as an admin or staff, but they'll also see themselves with a custom rank!

That, and it can also help members decide on potential new icons and usernames (as well as new signatures, when I add that in).

Things to add/change:
Add a "BoB" option (Senior Site Staff + Administrator)
Add a "banned" option
Get rid of the slashes
Add a signature display option
Up the maximum character limits for custom title
Write in the option to display for the OLD style.
Other random suggestions.

'Tis too late tonight, though.

The BoB option is a cheat and uses HTML and a line break in the custom rank :p

Done - <a href="http://www.digitalfault.com/p2/bah/index.html">Click here</a>

I went through and made all of the following changes:
- Used the stripslashes() function in many places to get rid of the slashes.
- Added the BoB option
- Added the Banned option
- Added a Signature option
- Upped the character limits to 75 for the custom title and location fields
- Wrote in the EoFF Classic template :).

Hmmm... the Admin and Cid's Knight titles suited me. :cool:

But it would be a nightmare for everyone else if I actually was an Admin or Cid's Knight. :p

Finally, something for people who can only dream about what they want to be.

But seriously, Banned fits kinda well.

Sepho

I made one last change (unless anyone else has any suggestions):
http://tim.digitalfault.com/eoff/ck

I wrote in the option for custom, <i>custom</i> titles (like special usergroups) to appear above the normal user titles. The user can control the title text, color, and formatting. Enjoy.
