How to chage your "user title"
 

FYI, if you'd like to change your user title (the little phrase under your username - eg. "Ecomodding Lurker"), you can now do that in the User CP (control panel), on the Profile page:

Click here if you're logged in, and it'll take you straight to the appropriate form:

profile.php?do=editprofile

That link gives me a "server not found." I think you have configured ecomodder.com/forum, not forum.ecomodder.com...

http://ecomodder.com/forum/profile.php?do=editprofile

We've configured both. Strange, both work for me. I'll change the link anyway.

You're just on the bleeding edge: the interweb domain name servers are still learning who you are. ;)

Give it time...

[edit: as I suspected, after a few more retries, I got there but the vB app didn't recognize my login and gave me the "you're not logged in / permissions" alert page. It prolly depends on how you set your login cookie. For example, the way you have it now (em.com/forum) works correctly because that's what the "User CP" link in your header uses. Clear as mud now?]

Either way, thanks for the heads up.

...so even my previous edit has a half-truth in it: it depends on the base url you used when you logged in. I think I'll shut up now...

Nope - that's good info. I should have made it a relative link all along. I've changed it in the first post, so now regardless of your incoming base URL, it'll work.

Thanks. It worked for me, via Firefox.
Now I'm no longer a lurker!

Wow this is a really old thread! I figured out how to change the user title, but it got me to wondering how the progression of the user title works. It seems like it will be 'ecomodding lurker' until like 100 posts and then 'ecomodding apprentice' until some number. Is this right? Is there any more user groups?

Thanks!

Here are the default user titles:

EcoModding Lurker 0-99
EcoModding Apprentice 100-249
Master EcoModder 250+
