Hi, I am just getting me hands dirty with this forum system and am loving it. I have some questions though.
How do I assign forum ranks? I would like to be able to manually assign forum ranks. We are using the forums to power a guild website and I would like ranks to be the same as in guild ranks. Is there a way to do this?
Also, how do I add additional information to someone profile? I would like to track an int value representing DKP (a guild related stat). How do I add this to the database and how do I display/change it on the site? I have no experiencce with ASP.NET 2.0 or SQL Server 2005 (which drive my site) although I have extensive experience in desktop .NET programming (if this helps). I would be willing to learn if someone could point me in the right direction.

It looks like the user rank is simply related to the number of posts a particular user has created. If you manually increased a user's post count, you'd have invalid data. So I wouldn't recommend that. How about using the member's Custom Title to reflect the user's guild ranks? Look in the Administration | Edit Members area.
I can't help you with the second part. I'm still learning that stuff, too.

Sam is correct about the rankings. The default rankings are based solely on the number of posts. These rankings can be modified, but if you want to manually put someone in a group, I think your best bet would just be to edit their accounts and give them a custom title. Or perhaps you could have your base ranking allow custom title editing, so the users can put themselves into a guild.
As for the custom variables for each member. This could be done, but it would take some added code modules on your part to create another area where these values could be modified.
Is there any interest from the community to have user-defined variables for sections like members and topics? We have the variables section for the admin screen, but I've never considered adding fields to the other tables that could be used in any way.
