Admin rank image issue

[ladyc]

(Sorry I forgot to include the basic info)

1) The URL to the page you are on when the bug occurred.
lllv5test.freemessageboards.com/user/1 for the profile, but it's also on the mini profile.

2) What happened, in detail?
See attached image. This is on a betazone forum, and maybe this won't be a problem when the
real site launches. Our forum has admin ranks displayed, but for some
reason the image link for the last icon is broken. I have attached the
image showing the problem - I don't understand why it can display the
image 5 times just fine, but the last image shows up as a broken link.
Any insight?

3) What do you think should have happened instead?
I think the image should be able to be displayed without the link being broken.

4) Can you reproduce this on every pageview?
Yes

5) What browser, version, and operating system are you using?
I'm on FF 20, on Mac OSX 10.7, but the other admins browsing the forums can see the same issue, both on PC.

6) Please attach a screen shot (JPG or PNG -- not GIF or BMP) if it is relevant

Before I explain what happened, I have already resolved this for you.

Here we go: You hit the character length cap for the group name. The group name had BBCode in it for the custom images, and just had 6 copies of the image URL/tags. This is the old hack-y way of doing things. With v5 all you have to do is upload the custom image to the theme, and then set it for the member group, including the number of images that you want to display as your rank. I went ahead and did this for you, and removed the long string of BBCode from the custom group name.

Great, thank you so much! I didn't set up this forum initially, I've just sort of been handed the keys for this migration. I will double check our other custom images/ranks and make sure we don't have this problem again.

On my quick cursory look through everything I think this was the only instance of this. This was previously the only way you could do things sometimes (in v4). Thankfully in v5 we fixed all of that, and there isn't any need for those types of "inventive solutions".
