Update on ranking/insignia system

We have a temporary fix for the ranking/insignia system.

A users title will change as it did before on GR based on post count, but users who wish to have the rank insignia must select it as an avatar.

To be able to select that rank avatar, you must have completed a required number of posts.

To sum it up, user title goes up automatically, but you have to manually select your avatar when you get there.

Private 0 (PV1)
Private 25 (PV2)
Private First Class 50
Specialist 75
Corporal 100
Sergeant 150
Staff Sergeant 200
Sergeant First Class 250
Master Sergeant 300
First Sergeant 400
Sergeant Major 500
Command Sergeant Major 600
Second Lieutenant 800
First Lieutenant 1000
Captain 1500
Major 2000
Lieutenant Colonel 2500
Colonel 3000
Brigadier General 4000
Major General 5000
Lieutenant General 6000
General 7500

I'll be checking into whether it can all be done automatically, as it was on GR, where one could have both the insignia and an avatar.

You have to select from a list under the avatars option.

Officer ranks have not yet been put in because the background needs to be adjusted.*

So it still can't be more than 75x75 and it's either insignia or avatar, right?

Is there any way at all to make it more than 75x75? there are plenty pics out there that re 76 or 77 pixels, and they can't be used, which really sucks...

I can't, I'm not the software guy. Chris handles all that stuff.
