AI Thread Summary
To set a custom title on your profile, you need to reach a minimum of 100 posts. The frequency of custom titles is linked to post count, with higher counts potentially leading to more frequent title changes. It's important to note that posts made in the General Discussion section do not contribute to your overall post count. Users have observed various custom titles, indicating a community interest in this feature. Achieving the required post count allows for personalization of your profile title.

I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
