The Rank Manager allows the administrator to define user ranks that will be assigned to users once they reach a certain number of posts. This control panel allows the administrator to define those ranks.
Each rank is normally a text string, however the administrator may choose to have the rank represented by an image or a combination of an image and text.

Which Image to Show
If you have chosen to have rank represented by an image, you may give this image preference over the user's avatar, that way only 1 image is displayed, or vice versa. You may also choose that both the avatar and the rank image will be displayed.
Post Count
The minimum number of posts the user must make before they achieve this rank.
