Member Rank Image Quality & Remove Rank Title

[Caleeco]

Hello, 

I've created some Member User ranks to replace the usual PIP system. However, when I upload them to IPS Adimin > Members > Ranks there seems to be a notable reduction in image quality. 

Is there a preferred User Rank pixel size or image format I should be using?

Also, in 4.2.7 is there a way to remove the Text rank? eg "Newbie" shown in the image? The below code worked on older versions of IPS, but takes no effect on 4.2.7 :/

/* Remove Rank Title eg. Newbie */
.ipsResponsive_hidePhone.ipsType_break {
Display:none;
} 

any help is appreaciated

Thanks

You should add them to member group and not member it self thus way quality will stay the same :-)

Hi STAR, 

Thanks for the reply  and the suggestion. However, I am keen to link the post count to the member title with the progression stars (see attached). Hopefully this will increase engagement and keep people posting. 

So hoping there is a way around it

This snippet of code should be able to remove the Pip Rank name. 

ul.cAuthorPane_info.ipsList_reset .ipsType_break {
display: none;
}

 

As for the image, it's peculiar, I haven't experienced that before. Is your page zoomed in perhaps? From the looks of the screenshot the username stays large and in quality, but the image does not. On my end on your site it isn't looking like yours. Perhaps your page may be zoomed in to the point where your image has been blown up which reduces the quality.
Just an idea, though. Otherwise I'm not very sure of the problem.

Thanks for the CSS, successfully removed the PIP Rank name

Hmm... I am viewing it on a laptop with a 4k panel... maybe it's an odd scaling issue. I will check out what it looks like from my computer at work tomorrow. 

When you say, the site on your end doesnt look like mine. Do you mean the rank titles are all in focus/normal quality on your screen? 

Thanks for your help

This is what I see. When I open the image in a new tab it looks to retain the same quality i see in thi picture, too.

 Well that's very strange.... looks to be high quality for you lol. Probably just a scaling issue with my screen/browser. 

Will mark as solved for now, as it seems to be a problem with my machine rather than IPS

Thanks for investigating!

Hey Titcrunch,

I couldnt find that path... i can get to Admin > Overview > Files > Image Settings

Is this not for user uploaded images? Should I be saving my rank icons as JPG instead of PNG? 

Thanks for your help

ah i switched the top option to "GD" and the compressions PNG slider appeared! So I assume this needs to be set to 9/9 for the best images?

luckily I had only uploaded about 6 out of 36! Seems to be working, the image does appear to be slightly sharper!

Thank you very much!
