Exploring the Concept of Custom Titles: A Scientific Perspective

[mattmns]

What exactly is a custom title?

 

[JamesU]

it's supposed to appear under your username (I think)

 

[mattmns]

Well then why does no one seem to have one?

 

[z-component]

Only PF contributors get a custom title, and those appear on their profiles only.

 

[Evo]

They were removed from public view when the science advisor ribbons were added. You don't even get one if you don't have a ribbon.

Hmm...I forgot about those, but maybe that's something to fix with the upgrade. Either give them back to contributors or take it out of the description of contributor perks. I lean toward just permanently doing away with it since it really didn't add much. What do others think?

 

[Evo]

I loved those titles! I want them back. Mine was "older than dirt", Tsu's was "older than Evo", MIH's was "chocoltating". We used to send fun messages with those titles.

OMG! I had forgotten about chocoltating too! But I thought that was all in the "location" box. Geez, I must be getting old if my brain is getting this leaky!

 

[JamesU]

I want to title

Alright then... I dub thee 'Sir Whinealot'.

AND SHUT UP!

[JamesU]

Someone help me out here... where exactly can one edit the custom title?

(Physics Forums >) User CP > Edit Profile

Heh, yes, I'm going to sleep now :zzz:

 

[hypnagogue]

I looked there, but all I see are options to edit (1) email & password, (2) date of birth, (3) homepage url, (4) instant messaging, (5) additional info: biography, location, interests, occupation, email username, and email server. Am I just missing something exceedingly obvious here?

 

[honestrosewater]

It's just above 'date of birth' on mine, so maybe one of us is special.

Did you clear you cache? Do you have special mentor doo-hickies? I haven't the foggiest.

 

[hypnagogue]

Well that's a pain in the butt! Thanks, I'll talk to Greg about this. Either that or I'm locked into my current custom title forever... spooky.

Yes, you must catch a lot of flies that way.

 

[hypnagogue]

Nah, I use chopsticks for that.

 

[honestrosewater]

Nah, I use chopsticks for that.

Ooh, impressive.

Do we not have titles anymore? I can't see them, but the option appears in my profile. Am I the only one who doesn't see them anymore? Using Firefox 1.0.7

 

[mattmns]

I was seeing them this morning, but not now. Using firefox 1.5 beta 1.

 

[hypnagogue]

Yeah, Greg disabled them again.

 

[JamesU]

awww...I was yomammalating

 

[Danger]

Isn't yomammalate something that you put on toast?
