Strange. I can see your forum now. Before it went to a "page cannot be displayed" page.

Did you type the following to be the rank name?:

Site Admin

You put it exactly like that.

[Edit, code corrected. The word "font" was left out. Embarassed

]

by going theough styles administration,how do i do it the way you suggest above by rank?

You do actually go the way I said, but it may be the way I said it, as you said. So let me try again:

Go to the Admin Panel.

In the left sidebar, you go down to the last section, called User Admin.

Under User Admin you will find a link that says Ranks.

Click Ranks, and a page with the Ranks will open. It will look like this (below the "headlines"):

Site Admin - Edit Delete

Click Edit, and a page called Rank Administration will open.

On that page it will say:

Rank Title, and next to it there will be a "box" with the title Site Admin, like this:

Rank Title: Site Admin

There you type in in front of Site Admin, to make it say:

Rank Title: Site Admin

Then you click Submit at the bottom of the page.

Try this now, and go step by step. You should find the exact words that I have used above, as long as you are on the right track. And if you don't find it, please tell me exactly where you got stuck.

Edit: corrected code -- added "font".

Well, you've got the right idea, but the HTML you are using is wrong. Instead of typing <color=red>Site Admin, you need to type Site Admin.

Check out this page on my site, you can see my "site admin" is in blue:

I've was doing Ebay back when you had no choice but to use HTML, so I'm pretty familiar with it, lol.

I will edit my post above with the correction. Thanks for posting the correct code!

lol, that's ok. You should have seen what crazy stuff I came up with when I first started doing HTML, Heehee.

also, don't forget to put on the end. It won't work without it.

You were not alone in that mistake, Margaret...

My clarification contains the same mistake... Embarassed

I'll edit as well...

Thanks for pointing it out Tortiebaby!

Erm, in this particular case you should NOT put at the end.

To not put it there is what makes the colour change also below the avatar, you see...

Never a rule without exceptions... Wink

Yes. To clarify for all, if you only want the rank label to be in a certain color, then you put the . If you want "Joined", "number of posts", etc. that shows up under avatars to also be that certain color, then you do NOT put the .
