    User Ranks

    Not sure why I get this error: Invalid File Path Specified when I try to make ranks for my site. I have tried to put it in images/ranks folder on my site.

    My structure: www > vb5 > upload > images > ranks


    My setup: images/ranks/admin.gif

    I was attempting to give the admin group a rank on this example.

    Try the path:
    core/images/ranks/admin.gif

    Also you need to upload admin.gif to THAT folder from the core.

        Ok, hoping this would resolve by 5.0.5, I am going to go bald with this setting.
        User Rank File Path
        Enter a file path to an image for this rank. The path should be relative to your main forum directory. For example, if the image you want for this rank is named rank.gif and you upload it to the images directory within your forum directory then you would enter: images/rank.gif
        I have tried: images/ranks/admin.gif
        Invalid File Path Specified
        I have tried: upload/images/ranks/admin.gif
        Invalid File Path Specified
        And I have tried: vb5/upload/images/ranks/admin.giv
        Invalid File Path Specified
        My directory: Click image for larger version

          The upload location is NOT correct. You need to upload the image files for ranks in: core/images/ranks/admin.gif

            Tried creating images/ranks/admin.gif from the core directory and got the same result. The help file says:
            User Rank File Path
            Enter a file path to an image for this rank. The path should be relative to your main forum directory. For example, if the image you want for this rank is named rank.gif and you upload it to the images directory within your forum directory then you would enter: images/rank.gif

            Alternately, you can leave this field blank and fill in the next one instead.
            My main forum directory is upload, is that not my core?

                It not important what is your main directory. You NEED to upload the image for ranks in the CORE/IMAGES/RANKS folder not in images folder from your main directory.
                On another hand CORE should be inside the upload directory.
                This should be the right location for your rank files: www>vb5>upload>core>images>ranks
