I just saw the most recent member title for M'tosh and it cracked me up!

I understand that when you get to 1000 posts you can change your member title - what will happen then?

I don't think I can trust M'tosh to continue the tradition and provide such opportunities for *surprise and delight*.

I think it'd be funny as shit if they banned him once he got to 999.

What happens after you reach 1000 posts and can change your title? Well, you can change your title, that's what!

If people abuse this privilege, though, it will be revoked.

[Mac+]

Yeah, but will (and I'm not exactly sure if either of these two are responsible for doing it) LoCash or murbot still drop in the occasional member title to keep the fun alive?

No offense M'tosh when you get to reading these posts. I just find your various member titles amusing to read.

[LoCash]

Admins can always change a user's member title. So even if he changed it back to Mr. Smooth, I'd change it back to Messiahtard. And remember... I share because I care. I live to give! In fact, if there is anything, just one single thing, that I have been guilty of... it's caring.... caring TOO much.

I took him off my ignore list to see his fall pictures. But that "dog" (poodles are not real dogs) kinda scared me away. We'll see how long it takes before I have to ask vB to filter out his posts again.

[alcimedes]

i miss the ignore feature.

[Escher]

What do you mean, alcimedes? The ignore feature is still available.

Mods and admins can't use it because we have to be able to see all the posts, even if they're annoying.

[Mac+]

ahhh ... I see ... "with great power comes great responsibility"

Luca - that's more Spiderman than Batman - maybe you should change your profile image.

[Luca]

Argh. These chuckleheads keep changing everything. Apparently it's not enough to mess with my user title, they also have to mess with my profile picture.

I'll have something fun in store for you guys before the day is through. But I have class really soon so it'll be a few hours. You just wait.

[SKMDC]

luca is killer carlson?

[murbot]

We all had Slapshot related titles... until the geeks got tired of having an athletic spin on their username, and changed them all.



Like, yeah. I just loooove my new username. Thanks boys.

I think we have an unwritten rule about changing our own titles, too (admins/mods I mean).

Oh god, I wonder what mine will be after this post.

Poodles ARE real dogs. It's just that God intended them as bait. You just have to know how to put them to use.

OK, you're right. OTOH, my mutt would disagree. She still thinks that poodles are like squirrels, i.e. lunch.

Sorry to be such a whiney bitch but....is it more than 1000 posts these days, or am I being dim?

[chucker]

Woah, like, massive bump.

Well, a couple of months ago, I reached 1,000 posts, and I was able to change it. (Even though I opted not to.)

Are you sure you can't?

1) Go to the User CP.
2) Edit your Profile.
3) In "Optional Information - All information will be viewable by other forum members.", you should find "Custom User Title" as the first section, right above "Date of Birth".
4) Type a title in.
5) Make sure "Reset" is not checked (just mentioning it since someone made this mistake)
6) Submit.

[Bryson]

Nope....not there. Straight to DOB.

Looks like I'm stuck being Registered.

[chucker]

It's all Brad's fault, I'm telling you.

[Bryson]

Ah, yes. Yet another "crack" shows....

[Mac+]

Thanks for bumping this thread ... I still at LoCash's post ... and believe me, I need the laughs these days.

[InactionMan]

It took a while after I hit 1000 for the option to show up. But I ended up sticking with the one I got when the forums first started up.

[alcimedes]

Yeah, there's an automated script that will run to update your status. Wait a day or two. If it's still not working, let me know.

[Brad]

Bryson, InactionMan, et al,

This is a known issue. You were both automatically added to the "custom titles" group immediately as you entered your 1000th post. However, you need to temporarily disable your membership to other optional usergroups in order for the "custom titles" modification to take precedence. After changing your title, you can switch back on the optional usergroups.

Cheers,
Brad

[Bryson]

And then wait a couple of days? Still not there.

No biggie, just wondered. I had a good one, too, but I've forgotten it.

[Brad]

Try now. Still no good?

[Bryson]

Sweet. Now I need to recall what it was.

Many thanks. I'll turn whiney bitch mode off now.

[AWR]

All for THAT? Daaaaaaaammnnn.

[Ryan]

I am *SO* close.
