vBulletin has had this feature for years, and I'm surprised that it was never added into IP.Board. The default "member" user group can have pips that increase in number after reaching x amount of posts. However, a non default "member" user group, like a staff group, cannot. Why is this? On my board, I have blue colored pips for members, and I have a set of red pips that I want to use for staff groups. I think that in future versions of IP.Board, this should be a stock feature.

you can do this in ipb for a long time... its under management > manage ranks. You can setup the amount of pips and pip image so that can change. You also set minimum amount of posts and works the same for all groups.

But Jaggi, you can not do what drygnfyre asked in its full extent.

If you have a team icon, you can not have pips.
You can not separate the colour pips between members and "staff"

oh yea, to be honest didn't even realise that. Pips should be optional for groups with team icons too.

FuSoYa has a modification which allows you to show group icons and pips at the same time though this should be default, or at least an option in the ACP.

That's not what I'm asking, though. It only allows you to show the pips with the team icons.

Let me try to clarify. A standard IP.Board installation uses blue pips for members. What I would like to see is be able to specify essentially anything as a "pip," and then let any user group use them like the member groups do; they increase with posts, etc.
