AI Thread Summary
To change the phrase under a username, a PF subscription is now required, as member titles can only be altered by subscribers. The current phrase likely stems from a pre-subscription period. Users can contact Greg or Warren for assistance in removing the phrase, but changing it may not be possible. This feature appears to be disabled for most users, although some non-subscribers still retain old titles. The discussion highlights the limitations and changes regarding member titles on the forum.

How do I change the phrase under my username?

Right now it reads "...still in Kuwait..." and I want to change it...

How do I do that?

I went to "user cp" and tried looking under "profile" and "options" but could not find anything.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Right now the member titles can now only be changed with a PF subscription. I presume yours was from pre-subscription days. You could probably PM Greg or Warren to get it removed, but I don't think you can get it changed.
 
I don't think they're supposed to be showing up at all. That was an old feature that I thought Greg had disabled.
 
They show on the Prime skin but not the Nexus one for some reason.
 
But some non-subscribers also have avatars from when that feature was free. I guess it's the same deal with member titles.

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. 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...
