    Hi,

    I hope this does not seem like a stupid question, but I'd like to know how do you change the title under your forum name... so mine does not read "insert title here". :o

    Thanks,
    Mike

    stingraysrock PIF'd away his custom title

    I think it will change to Vice President Of The Lather Club once you hit five or 10 posts. From there on it changes every so often, maybe at each 100 post mark or something like that.

    It is fun to watch the titles change. Before I got my custom title my favorite title was "Shavasaurus."

    Like stated above It changes at certain post # and then you can get a custom one or have it changed for some reason by a mod. I believe mods can.

    Yes, with a caveat (I believe). I don't think you can have it changed, I think that you have to "earn" it in one shape or fashion, like, for instance, PIF'ing away your custom title :happy088, or by coming up with an edict and promoting how it's your shave, enjoy it your way :happy108, etc. but not limited to that, but at this point in time ;), those are recent ones.

    sol92258 I have no earthly idea

    There are 3 easy, simple as pie ways to change your user title:

    A) Keep posting - there are standard titles that are associated with your post count. Often, they may be related to where you may be in your shave journey, with fewer posts indicating you may be just learning, and more posts meaning you may have progressed to more things....certainly not a hard and fast rule, and some of the titles are just fun.

    B) Do or say something meaningful - as already mentioned, the "PIF'd his title away" CT was earned by Stingraysrock for his generosity. There are many other examples of this throughout the site.
    One caveat to this is if you are a mod or admin, or in the early days a regular member and wanted a custom title of whatever you wanted, it would be done.

    C) Be a jackass - apparently, according to rumor, if you follow behind certain mods and comment in a way that perturbs them or ruins his/HER jokes/attempts at humor, or just being a thorn in tHEiR side in good fun, you could be tagged with a custom title of some sort.
    Of course, that's all according to legend and lore, so I'm not that intimately aware of the validity or truth to it.
    It's just word on the street, ya' know?
    I've never seen evidence of it myself or anything. Just hearsay. Gossip. Stuff like that.
    Okay, so maybe I do know....
    Or so I've heard.....[​IMG]

    So anti-funny. :happy102

    At least I know where that one came from now. Alleged, word on the street, zero evidence to back it up of course ;)
