I know Bree will probably get annoyed at me for talking about this, but apparently this forum is 'made from scratch', which apparently makes it so that you can change anything you want changed. I was wondering if we could get custom titles.

Already available. Go to "Profile" and then "Modify profile" and you will see "Display Name" or "Personal Text" You can change that (I think)

It's just "Display Name" that you can change.

The admins can give custom titles (that display next to your rank/member group area) near the bottom of Modify Profile. Regular users can not give themselves custom titles.

Patrick meant the title under (in your case) Rick.. look at Paddy's he has:
Vampy (Display name) Administrator (Forum function) STARS The Irish Admin (that's the custom title)
sorry if you already knew xD

lol.
Guys, let me clear this up.
There's a username, which is what you register with. There's a display name, which you can change in your profile, and overrides your username. There's a personal text option, which you can change in your profile, and is displayed below your avatar. And there's a Custom Title, which only admins can change, and is displayed above your avatar, under your display name.

I've been on forums where that's possible, but I'm pretty sure they were phpbb.

ElfLady, why do you have like 20 posts tonight that all say that you're tired. Just go to bed and stop complaining.

Custom titles are awesome, but if we can't make it where you guys can have them, you still have personal text that appears below your avatar. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

On this forum I used to go.. there was a thread for a name change but you only change your name during a certain time (every once and a while the admins would announce the thread opened from xx-xx-xxxx 'till yy-yy-yyyy and then you had the change to note your old username + your desired one..) Maybe it's something we can use here.. maybe not for the usernames (since we change that ourself) but for other things..

Yeah I thought about that, but that's why I mentioned the profile text. It's not like you have no way to customize your profile. They are basically the same thing, only one is above the avatar and one is below it.

ElfLady, why do you have like 20 posts tonight that all say that you're tired. Just go to bed and stop complaining. I have insomnia and ADHD and GAD, and some other things, which contribute to both of your concerns. Sorry if I bothered you!!! I concur, custom titles aren't really necessary, as there is already personal text under one's avatar, and a multitude of other methods of personalization. ^_^

Yes that is all well and good but TITLE is something to be proud of, some Earned Something worthy of a real Man
or woman >_>
I, Henceforth would like to be known far and wide as Dimstow the Mighty Beard!
just playing, honestly I think we have plenty of customization to keep everyone relatively happy, though it would be a neat thing for Admins to be abel to 'bestow' titles upon people, cool stuff

I like that idea, Dimstow. Maybe using custom titles as a kind of reward.
