If you have a prefix for your rank, then PermissionsEx is modifying your display name last. In other words, your code works, but PEX is modifying your display name last, so any changes you made are overwritten.

How would you get past that? Or is there no way?

 

Techno

I don't have a clue I'm afraid, but you could check out the PermissionsEx forum and get some insight on how to bypass it. Or wait for someone to reply to this thread who knows how to do it.
