How do I edit the bit on my profile that says 'Space and Time'? It used to funny when we had different levels and it said Traveller underneath but now it just bugs me!!

Hope someone can help.....

Click on your User Name, and that ought to bring up a wee panel. There ought to be (mine has a Mod's control thingie so it's not the same) an icon that you can click on to let you get to your Main Profile Page, and you ought to be able to Edit your tag line/motto/?? from there.

I think it should work......give it a go, and let me know ?

Go to your name at the top right of this page, on the green header bar.
That will bring up a white box. Click on Account Details and that will take you to your Profile Page. You ought to be able to Edit your profile/ tag line, etc., there.

I’ve never found any option to change the words directly under my username. There‘s a sig line option, where I can change the Krabbé quote.

Okaaay.....there are certain under the name titles that we can't edit, but Mesquite has 'anyone for sailing'......did you put that in yourself ? or was it forum generated ?

Himself's away to bed and has logged out of his computer so I can't pester him to let me see a member's screen.
If we don't suss this out this evening I'll try it tomorrow, or maybe just hassle an Admin :)

Quite a few people seem to have a customised logo under their username. Would it have been something that carried over from the old forum and now isn’t an option in the account settings and preferences?

Ah, might be.

I'm going to flag this for Admin to have a looksee, and at least one of them ought to be able to come and tell us all how to sort this out :)

I put that up years ago when we could edit our tag lines and we also had different names based on the number of posts one had.

I did the 'Anyone for Sailing?' tag because my post name was a type of sailing dinghy and I've been stuck with it ever since :lmao: .

I just changed mine but it might be because I’m a mod.
I followed Toddy’s instructions.
clicked edit custom title.
changed from BCUK welfare officer to simply Mod.

It might take awhile for me to come up with something witty.

It's carried over from the old days of the forum when we were on vBulletin and it was never enabled on this platform. I can edit yours swotty? Just did it.

As a general question for Full members, do you want the option to change your titles?
