With the Ranking tab selected, the Administrator can manage the ranking profiles. The default setting assigns the youngling ranking to a message board poster with 0 to 24 postings. A poster with 250 to 499 postings will be assigned a Jedi Master ranking. The Administrator can change the ranking names and posting number requirements by making changes directly and clicking Save.

	Starting with Liferay 4.2 it is also possible to activate Liferay SMTP events to allow users to respond to mails sent by the message boards. In order to avoid HTML problems when posting through replies the mails are now sent in plain text.
