Pips

[Thiz]

Hi everyone ....

I know this is probably a really dumb question, but so be
it. I just can't seem to figure this one out.

How do I allocate my pips so that only administrators
get 6 pips?

I've done it with new titles, but as soon as someone else
reaches that post quota, their title changes to admin and
the title I've created.

I'm at wit's end here. Can someone please give me the ...
I'm sure ... simple answer to this problem?

Yeah, I know .... DUH ....

Thanks so much.

You need to go to Admin panel, Scroll to bottom, Go to manage Users or something, Management, put in user name, and such and scroll to bottom of their profile and put their rank as what you want.

If you want an admin only rank, go to Ranks, Push create.
Put in name, Url to Picture, and a question should say Set as Special Rank? put yes and a put - and leave that. Push submit and go to the usermanagement and put managment, and put in user name put their rank as admin, put you need to do the firest part to set their rank as admin or (special Rank).

Hi ...

I don't know what board CP you're referring to, but
it's not mine. I use IPB 1.3 and I don't have any
of the options you mention.

So ... could you please be much more specific in
your instructions for IPB 1.3???

Thanks.

Hmm sorry about that I assumed you had phpBB 2.0.17 or something like that.

Guru ....

Thanks, but I've been there and it's absolutely
no help whatsoever. I have been everywhere
for an answer to this problem. To no avail and
that's why I'm here. I always do my homework
before I bug folks.

Can anyone help me out with this? I tend to
think I'm missing some logic puzzle here.
Please help!

Look for something called managemnt or userManagement and put in user name then edit their stuff....

I used invision looooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, and I think that was the options.. Not sure though. I guess I can sign up and expirement with ya.
Thats only if you can trust a stranger.

Here's what's availabe in IPB 1.3 ACP:

Users and Groups
Pre-Register
Find/Edit/Suspend User
Delete User(s)
List Suspended Users
Ban Settings
User Title/Ranks
Manage User Groups
Manage Validating
Custom Profile Fields
Bulk Email Members
Member Tools

One would normally use "User Title/Ranks", but that doesn't solve
the problem. I even tried using "0000" in the number of posts
needed for Admins. Didn't work. I went through all the
permission masks, editing them. I tried EVERYTHING!

As I said, I don't come to these boards unless I'm at a total loss.

Thank you for your help.
