I definitely posted the announcement of the fix for that to the newsticker when it came out several months ago.
Any elder of the highest occupied rank can now reclaim the missing ranks, all but the Founder rank.

I'm digging through the interface for managing ranks and people. Sadly, I don't see a means to promote myself higher.
I was under the impression that if the highest ranking member of a guild/religion left, the next highest could take (or would be automatically) control. I'm not seeing that kind of tool here.
I'll look a bit more and see what I can dig up.

Where can this tool be found?
