Yup; We should have more of those here.
sad to see that the rank pictures are again not showing up , is there again problem with them ?
They’re hosted on Wikimedia, and it looks like the source files may have moved. Need to upload them to the forum servers.
Well when will you upoad them? I want my rank showing and I feel naked without it.I hope this is on a priority list somewhere…thnak you.
You have a little white box with a red X covering the necessaries.:mrgreen:
That’s something for Procyon, none of the mods have the power to do it.
Can you tell him then ? or we have to look for him somewhere ?
I have the same problem…white box with a red cross.
Please help!
I received no notification from anybody until today. Will take care of it.
I’d appreciate it if somebody could find .png file versions of the ranks. (not jpg or gif), as the image looks much cleaner and detailed.
Thanx for the effort…will also do my homework and see what i can find.
Trying to find .png file versions of the ranks is posing a little difficult.
Has anyone got any suggestions.
High-res files of a different type, suitable for conversion to small pixel number .png files at high quality:
US Army: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_rank_insignia_of_the_United_States_Army
British Army: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_rank_insignia_of_the_British_Army
French Army: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_rank_insignia_of_France
German Army (WW2): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_rank_insignia_of_the_Wehrmacht
Red Army: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_rank_insignia_of_the_Soviet_Army
Any competent graphics program (e.g. GIMP, which is available as Open Source) can easily do the conversion.
some of the .svg files were rendered as .png so thtat is good.
However, which insignia should we add? For the German we have the collar if I am not mistaken. should that be changed to shoulder?
Those are brilliant and thanx for the effort. As said above they are easy to convert (two examples attached).
I vote for shoulder insignia for the German ranks.
I always found it a bit shady that there is no German alternative offered but Waffen-SS insignia…
That’s why I deliberately didn’t post links to the SS-insignia (which may also be found on that site). We do get a small number of dodgy characters on this site and I’d rather not encourage them!
How do I put my rank where the ugly red box is? I tried it for half an hour and all I could do is put it down by my signature. Could someone in Authority…(Will settle for PDF), PLEASE advise me how I can replace the red box next to my pictire with my rank?.Please help me, someone?
It’s in process and will happen automatically for all site members when Procyon has the time to make the necessary changes to the site software. Have patience.
Thanx for watching our backs. It is reassuring to know that their is system and order in our forum.
Thanx for the assistance.
