Forum Title Changes

Forum Title Changes
10/9/2007

At the request of the Board, I’ve made some changes to the “forum titles” that appear along with other user information (username, avatar, number of posts, location, etc.) on posts made in the forums. In a nutshell, the old forum titles related to your association status (i.e. WGA Member, WGA Friend) are gone. Users can optionally set a custom/personal forum title on the Preferences tab in the Your Account module.

Here is the full text of the resolution that was passed by the Board…
– Remove existing forum titles that are based on users’ “association status” (i.e. WGA Friend, WGA Member) with the exception of the special forum titles associated with users on the WGA Board of Directors (WGA Board Member, WGA President, etc.).

– Use
