    Title and Rank - Did something change in latest version?

    Did Rank replace Title in the latest version of VB5? In the past we setup titles for people based on their number of posts. 10 post = newbie, 1000 posts = veteran, etc etc. Now I dont see any place were we can enter titles based on posts, but I do see an option for Ranks which allow an image or text. I still see that users can change their title, but I dont see any sort of title manager in the backend. Can anyone shed some light on this.. thank you

    Titles and User Ranks are two different settings in vBulletin 5. Titles is at the bottom of the AdminCP menu.

      Titles is at the bottom because it needs to be deprecated in favor of the more powerful Ranks system. You can actually do everything with Ranks that you can do with Titles. We're just not completely there to migrate and remove the feature yet.

        Thanks Wayne, this is what I assumed when I saw it on the bottom. Most of our users setup custom titles anyways, so this isn't too much of a concern.
