7.1 Update: Users can now set their own Custom Titles in their profiles, so don't need to request them any more.

HOWEVER - Custom Titles assigned to you before we upgraded cannot be edited by you. If you want to change it, you must let me know. I can reset it so then you can then do it yourself. But as of right now, you cannot use bold or italics or colors yourself.

PS - Any rude custom titles will be dealt with accordingly, of course.

Can we have user titles AND stars now?

That would be great. Because I like my stars, but I've always wanted a custom title as well.

Either/or...

I'd still like to be known as Very Elder Statesman (in bold) because I didn't get any younger since the boards changed over.

Done. You also deserve a color, if you want it. Just name it (besides red or green, unless you also wanna be a mod )

Is that your decision, or the BB software's?

Maybe if it fits, you can change mine to "Resident Forum Asshole," eh?

If it doesn't fit, we'll MAKE it fit!!!

Well, Double-J ... you walked right into THAT one!

Apple

Excellent. Of course, I want to keep my stars as well.

JG, can I have back my "Al has no equals!" in bold? Cuz as far as I remember he still doesn't have any.

JG can I have Lousy-cold hearted bastard in a very chilly blue color? Burrrrrr

Or just bold would be cooool too.


EDIT[I for one, as opposed to SOME others, am loving the new board]

I'm not doing custom colors at this point, but you got your title back...

Yo JG or SC could I please get my title back that I had on the old board. Which was Official BB Hitman in bold.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Sir. No problem, Sir. Anything you want!

Psst! I might have a job for ya!

Thanks a lot JG.

a job for me? well you know where to find me.

Hi, can you take off was cathy off mine? thanks

I believe its policy to leave the "was" for a short period of time after any name change is done. This is to allow other members to be aware of that name change.

Yeah, since you don't have a whole lot of posts, remind us at the 1 month point (next week) and we'll take care of it.

J Geoff, can you please change my title to "Enlightened Nincompoop" in bold writing? Thanks!

You can change your own custom titles now...

Would it be possible to enable UBB code in the custom titles?

Apparently some new bugs were introduced w/ custom titles...

1) They don't override the standard title (okay w/ me I suppose)
2) They're not taking UBB Code any more
3) They can't be deleted via your profile for some reason!

I reported these...

I agree that its a good "bug" that the original titles/stars remain in addition to the custom title, and I'd keep this feature.

Geez Geoff, you have spiders and bugs on the BB now. Will ants or flies be next?

That's not up to me...

When you say you "reported these..." does that mean you reported these to the maker of this forum creator? I'm kind of bummed that the title I want to use for myself can no longer be in bold, not to mention the amount of characters seems to have been shortened. For example, Ice has the title "Lousy cold-hearted bastard" which is in bold and is 26 characters long. The name I wanted, "Enlightened Nincompoop" is only 22 characters and cannot be bold. It looks like there is a max of 20 characters now.

Check it now, Blibble.

Thank you very much

What's wrong with my title? I see the < b >, but it's no longer in bold.

I reset your title and notified Geoff of the problem. He'll have to determine why the title reset.

hmmm ... I notice a cake pic next to SC's name. Is it a standard feature for all birthdays or something special for our Consigliere ?

Everyone gets one on their birthday, if they're in their birthday suits...

Thanks SC, I would just leave it in regular font, but I want everyone to know that I'm an Enlightened Nincompoop in bold

Of course the 'Enlightened' part is up for debate.

So: I can't delete my custom title?

Sure you can. Clean out the title box and enter through it (leaving it blank). That'll default it back to the system designation.

It's not working, SC? I cleared the field, left it blank, pressed submit, nada.

You want the "Saussure's Ghost" thing gone??

Yes, please.

Done. Dunno why it didn't work for you.

Thanks, Gorgeous.

You're scaring me, Mick.

Sorry, Ugly.

It didn't work for me also a while ago.

See the first post in this thread

I still don't get it. Mick's custom title was entered AFTER the board update.

mine too.

Guess I don't get it either... lol

can you still have titles

Titles are now built-in and automatically adjusted.

Make a positive name for yourself in another few hundred posts, and a custom title will be considered...
