Posted by: DiabloFather

I Want 2 join a group.
how do i do that?



Posted by: Outlaw

Can you be a little more specific?



Posted by: DiabloFather

like a group it says in ur open tech support profile u r not in any group
u know when it says under ur name like cool member?
is that a grupe?



Posted by: Outlaw

I think only the administrator can make groups and put people in it. It's probably not of any use for any of us, just a standard feature that's not being used.

Your user title (like Cool Member) changes when you reach a certain amount of posts, or at least it did before Laggy upgraded the forum software. It'll probably work again when he's done customizing everything.

Hah, if I was in a group, it'd be the 'off-topic' group. There would be about 4 or so members. We're the experts at taking anything off-topic, albeit not on purpose..

haha

Outlaw ur in a group claled Sectoreffector



Posted by: Outlaw

No, that's my user title. I'm not in any group.

And if you're posting it anyway, don't pm it too.



Posted by: RAcastClarke

That's just his user title. You can change that by going to your UserCP and clicking on 'Edit profile' or 'edit options' or something like that..



Posted by: DiabloFather

ok thx



Posted by: DiabloFather

nope cant find it in control pannel.



Posted by: RAcastClarke

You're right...that's what it was in the old VB..

God I hate the new one..

Well, i can't help ya. I have no clue where the heck it is now..you may just have to wait a while.



Posted by: DiabloFather

ok thx anyway



Posted by: BurningAvenger

I believe there was a certain amount of posts necessary to change that. Before the update you had to be a Junior member i think. Maybe not though.



Posted by: RAcastClarke

Well, I have about 650 posts, and I can't find where to change mine...Could you need even more than that?



Posted by: BurningAvenger

Hmmm, well that apparently cannot be it.



Posted by: TotalRecall

User CP > Edit Profile > Custom User Title



Posted by: RAcastClarke

It's not there..hmm..eh, not your fault.

Could just be disabled or lost somewhere among all this movement and config.

God, I hate this layout..



Posted by: DiabloFather

total recall that was in the old buletin bred and i cannot change it now



Posted by: TotalRecall

There may be an issue with permissions. Everything will be worked out in time.

There are no "joinable" groups enabled ... Groups in this forum mean

Unregistered Users
Users Awaiting Confirmation
Registered Users
Staff Members
Staff Writers
Moderators

Majority of people here belong to the "Registered Users" group, so I don't think you can really join any of the other groups without either (a) logging out or (b) applying to be OTS staff ... and the latter won't work until I specifically look for them

Anyway, the feature came standard with the forum software, but it's unused So there...

fyi ... user status != user groups



Posted by: Ocean

everyone knows what != means. lol

how to change custom user titles.



Posted by: DiabloFather

Thank You Ocean
i dont know i didnt find it before...
thank you



Posted by: RAcastClarke

Gotta love Opera, man.

Put that beast up in the guides section ha..

I'm not funny.

Anyway, thanks. That wasn't there when I looked for it yesterday. Guess that's updates for ya.
