Title: profile question
Post by: heck on February 17, 2006, 08:01:58 AM
I've tried to figure it out and now I am ready to swallow my pride and just ask:  where in the profile do you add text that appears under your avatar?

By the whims of our despotic moderators.

Aaaah...thought it might be something like that  :-D

If you don't have a line called "Custom Title" under the "Forum Profile Information" link in your profile page, it's probably something only we can add.


Title: Re: profile question
Post by: tazelbain on February 17, 2006, 08:34:54 AM
I think the confusion is: we can fill out a field called "Personal Text" but it doesn't show up.


Title: Re: profile question
Post by: HaemishM on February 17, 2006, 08:43:31 AM
Yeah, don't use that field, use Custom Title if you have it.

As pond scum, many of us don't have access to that feature.

Nebu, is your post count new or have I just been unobservant?

But I submitted my form to the Ministry of Information years ago!  "Harry Tuttle"

Here is a tip.  Post a incoherent rant lambasting one of the admins here, then claim that you WTFBBQPWNED them.  It works!

It is a grief postcount given to me by the people that run the site.  I earned it by rabidly stating that I thought postcount was an idiotic concept best appreciated by the mouth-breathers on VN.  When they explained the merits of postcount from their view, I had to own up to the fact that I was wrong.  Some time later, this postcount was bestowed upon me.  Don't ask me when... I think it took one of them telling me for me to even notice. 

That's the best explanation I have and I'm sticking with it.

Post by: Lantyssa on February 17, 2006, 07:32:11 PM
Well, it is kind of unique...  I was just curious since I did not notice it until this thread talking about custom titles.


Title: Re: profile question
Post by: Llava on February 17, 2006, 07:38:37 PM
My custom title is extremely outdated.

It's accurate, sure, but it's not funny anymore. So it's outdated.

Still, I don't do much else.  So I guess it's good enough.

Post by: Signe on February 17, 2006, 07:47:23 PM
Mine is fine.  I still didn't do it.

That was the real reason they hid Nebu's post count.  It made everyone feel inferior.

Apparently there's a bug somewhere in the post counting/display code. As of right now his profile is showing 118650 posts but if you look at the forum breakdown that only adds up to around 1200 posts.

No.... they gave me an absurd postcount as part of my punishment.

So this begs the question - what use does the "Personal Text" field have if it doesn's show up anywhere?

Oh, and I wanted to check to see if my avatar is finally going to start showing up.  I can see it in my profile finally.

It shows up in your profile, under your avatar.


Title: Re: profile question

I use it for personal stuff.

I think someone must have hijacked Cheddar's normally happy go lucky persona. Or he's on pills or something.

And someone else on the forums said I am angry and such.  Sigh...  Why did Schild take the butt away?  We all poop.

I'm wondering, what percentage of people went to their profile to check to see if they had been magically granted the ability to modify their title....

He must have won the f13 spelling bee and the prise was a grief title and you forgot to give it to him.  Shame on you.
