Hey guys,

We have decided that it was time for a little update on the forum rank icons (one of many things that we have being planning to improve and for which we have finally found some time).

TBMF is full of great people, and yet the only reward system we have had so far, were ranks based on post-number. We therefore felt that members who have been contributing in some particularly remarkable manner to forum life should be given the possibilty of getting a little something
fancy to ornate their profile box with. This will also provide a form of positive feedback system.

Cianty took the lead on this project and came up with some fantastic new versions of my previous
rank icons, and even revamped the Mod and Admin icons in the process Smile (Yay for me too!)

Without further ado, let me introduce the brand new MERIT RANKS!

Features of Merit Ranks


  • Merit Ranks will be awarded by the forum Administration (= Admin + Mods) on the go in the next couple of months and thereafter. We regularily discuss happenings on TBMF and will be giving out these merit "badges of merit" to individuals who have shown special dedication and/or have brought something new or exciting to the table and/or have contributed in some constructive way to make TBMF a nicer/better place.
  • Merit ranks are on voluntary basis, meaning that if you are nominated for one, you may accept or refuse to have it put in their profile box. "Nominees" will be contacted via PM.
  • Merit ranks will replace the current post-count rank icons and will not change with post count. Your post count ticker will be unafected though.


Special Ranks

Below you can see the list of new icons along with a little description.

Those are sweet. Good work CIanty. I can't believe you kept my icon. *blush* I'll be back soon to deserve it again, I swear... as soon as the snow sticks, and I'm forced to be inside.

Eager little helper - that title reminds me of the perks you can earn in fallout! I like the idea!
Can you only get one of the above or is it possible to get more? Deafnala springs to mind: A talented guy like him should qualify for at least master painter and distinguished poster.

No, you can only have one of them. And the Moderators are excluded. They keep their Honour Guard icon and that's it. No need to praise ourselves with additional awards. Smile

how you would like to though aye? Wink though, in my mind you'd deserve additional ones as well for bringing us both this outstanding forum and some seriously great inspiration/rules/paintjobs/models/scenery/something to do when bored at work! Smile

You mean the background glow?

It can be removed but I don't want to make Cianty go through all the icons again. Besides, I quite like it... adds to the "bling" Smile

Don't you think?

Hmm... I don't know how to explain in english...
It's not the matter of the (great New Merit Ranks and Icons!! 544694) picture, cause when I save it, the background is blank, perhaps it's my browser, but I see that :
New Merit Ranks and Icons!! Test1

And I find the colour weird, it's perhaps just a parameter of status background from the forum, to have that (sorry, I did it with paint in 2 minutes New Merit Ranks and Icons!! Icon_redface it was just to give you the idea):
New Merit Ranks and Icons!! Test2

Perhaps I'm the only one to have this problem/who don't like it ? New Merit Ranks and Icons!! Icon_silent

Ohh nice new icons, great work Cianty!

Lanyssa, it's actually your browser's fault! The icons Cianty made where saved as .PNG (If I remain correctly) which enables the creator to save the icon with a transparent background. The problem is, you use Internet Explorer which doesn't allow to show the transparency of the image. IIRC there already is a new version out of IE that does support transparent images, or just either download Firefox or Safari. It'll solve the issue and makes browsing the intarwebz a hell lot nicer!

Hope this explains it a bit, JC! Wink

They look like this in my browser btw, just to be a bit clearer.. Razz

I didn't understand why it's okay for all the pics ranks ("elder", "warlord", etc...), but that's because they're .gif !
My apologies, I'm just too old fashioned IE New Merit Ranks and Icons!! Icon_redface New Merit Ranks and Icons!! Icon_razz

Deaf needs a unique, absolutely, uber, mega, giga SPECIAL ICON, as he is one of a kind (Although I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing New Merit Ranks and Icons!! Icon_twisted ).

Lanyssa, I have version 8 of IE on my laptop (although I never use it) and it looks find on that. If you are using an older version, then you should upgrade (to Firefox Wink ).

I didn't know IE was THAT bad. Had I known, then I would have chosen GIFs... oh well.

Glad you all like the new icons.

And yes, part of the whole idea was to replace the big Moderator and Admin icons we had before.
