Ok, are Custom Ranks going to be installed by default in phpbb 2.2, so you dont have to use a mod for them?

I'm not understand what you mean. Custom ranks are available in 2.0.x. Why wouldn't they be in 2.2?

Erm, yeah.

I'd assume he refers to user-customizable ranks, where the user is able to directly set a rank/title in his or her profile. I can't really answer this, as I have no idea. And we may not find out until later on. If they're not, I'll look at continuing my MOD, but there are of course no guarantees.

i think they will AND will not be added...
Default they won't be available...

but the admin definable user fields will take care of that no?
yust make your own custom ranks there and it is done

no more mods.

Yes, I mean user-customable titles.

So, instead of having to spend like 30 min to install a mod for them, they could be installed already. And have them like the Custom Title MOD already out.

Admin-definable profile fields are inadequate for how most admins I know intend to use custom titles. First and foremost, as far as I'm aware, admin-definable profile fields will not be available to viewtopic. Second, I'm not sure if there'll be a way for these profile fields to be activated after a certain number of days or posts, or if you just have them. That's an implementation detail of the fields that I won't know until they're implemented. Finally, though I generally don't use it is this way, many admins choose to replace the board defined rank (that a user gets for having so many posts) with their custom rank once they have it, which couldn't be done with a profile field without changing some code.

This sounds like mod material to me...

Actually, based on what I have heard, such a facility as Aexoden describes might be available later.

Look around here for stuff relating to the "event system"
