      In case, you missed the news article on the front page of the website…

      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.

      User Chosen Forum Titles

      I just want to emphasize that the Board reserves the right to modify and/or delete user chosen forum titles. Hopefully everyone who decides to create a forum title will use common sense… but I know some of you folks, and therefore I have no doubt there will be some issues. 🙂 So maybe some examples of what to do and not do with the forum titles is in order…

      I won’t provide an example of this… I want to keep these forums clean! 😀

        Works great! Many thanks to Jeremy and the board for this neat little add-on.

        Also great imagination in GOOD and BAD forum titles above…made me chuckle while I’m supposed to be all serious and working…. 😈

                I know my head is in the clouds but do people really call me that?

                            I think the common saying is “those that cannot do – teach”

                            Which workshop are you doing again?

                              Fellas, these sample forum titles were fictional and for entertainment purposes only. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead; place, real, historical, or imaginary; or thing, bigger or smaller than a breadbox, is purely coincidental.

                              At least that is what my lawyer, Billy Martin, told me to say. 😀 He comes highly recommended by Mr. “Pit Bull” Vick and Hon. Senator “I’m Not Gay” Craig. 😉
