Welcome. Good that is working.

Thanks Teascu - small miss understanding on my part, working now.

It not important what is your main directory. You NEED to upload the image for ranks in the CORE/IMAGES/RANKS folder not in images folder from your main directory.
On another hand CORE should be inside the upload directory.
This should be the right location for your rank files: www>vb5>upload>core>images>ranks

Found this while trying to figure this out and didn't know if it was still an issue: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...ks-not-working

Tried creating images/ranks/admin.gif from the core directory and got the same result. The help file says:

User Rank File Path

Enter a file path to an image for this rank. The path should be relative to your main forum directory. For example, if the image you want for this rank is named rank.gif and you upload it to the images directory within your forum directory then you would enter: images/rank.gif Alternately, you can leave this field blank and fill in the next one instead.

My main forum directory is upload, is that not my core?

[Teascu Dorin]

Try the path:
core/images/ranks/admin.gif

Also you need to upload admin.gif to THAT folder from the core.

The upload location is NOT correct. You need to upload the image files for ranks in: core/images/ranks/admin.gif

Ok, hoping this would resolve by 5.0.5, I am going to go bald with this setting.

User Rank File Path

Enter a file path to an image for this rank. The path should be relative to your main forum directory. For example, if the image you want for this rank is named rank.gif and you upload it to the images directory within your forum directory then you would enter: images/rank.gif

I have tried: images/ranks/admin.gif

Invalid File Path Specified

I have tried: upload/images/ranks/admin.gif

Invalid File Path Specified

And I have tried: vb5/upload/images/ranks/admin.giv

Invalid File Path Specified

My directory: What am I missing to get ranks on my people?

[dustoff99]

I have it loaded in that folder (www>vb5>upload>images>ranks) and I get that same error.

[Teascu Dorin]

Try the path:
core/images/ranks/admin.gif

Also you need to upload admin.gif to THAT folder from the core.

Not sure why I get this error: Invalid File Path Specified when I try to make ranks for my site. I have tried to put it in images/ranks folder on my site.

My structure: www > vb5 > upload > images > ranks

My setup: images/ranks/admin.gif

I was attempting to give the admin group a rank on this example.
