Forum ranks/title reset

[Spotty]

What happened?

All members default Titles (based on rank) have been reset to the "Newbie" rank (I believe I was previously in the "Fanatic" rank)

There's also now an icon displaying in the Title section on profile pages.

I have also lost my ability to set a custom member title and also unable to edit the titles of others (moderator privilege, could only edit the titles of accounts which already unlocked permission to set a custom title so I assume it's not letting me edit anyone's title because everyone has been moved to the Newbie group which does not have permissions to edit their member title).

Members who had custom titles set prior to the update still display the custom title, for example on @Levent profile

 

 

What did you expect to happen?

To retain the existing member ranks/titles and ability to set a custom title for those who unlocked permissions to do so. (iirc was 100 posts to be eligible to set a custom member title)

No rocket ship icon displayed

Any other relevant details:

It appears in the latest update the member ranks/titles has switched to being based on 'points', rather than post count which I believe it was previously based on.

We are looking into this. 

This has been caused by a new feature in IPS. We will get a solution, and people will get their titles back.

OK, so. We have a solution. We have setup rules for calculating points to as closely as possible match the old setup. 

It will take a bit to calculate the new points. We are very sorry about this, we see no way to change from points to posts. 

 

We hope it is done before 2022 /s

Is this also going to remove the rocket ship icons, or will that require an additional fix?

The rocket ship icon, is the new default image for all the ranks. We will need to set new ones.

My title still applies. Funny.

Oh and by the way, I like the changes!
