Thanks for the reply, Christoph.
$mrank returns a number from 1 to 70
$mrank.class.name does not return anything.
I had tried the #elseif cascade originally, but since the comparisons were
not working, I simplified in an attempt to narrow down the problem.
Unfortunately, it hasn't. Yes, everthing ends up in the #else branch using
that method. Still no luck, though.
