Felix11 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) why am i a tadpole? Edited December 10, 2005 by Felix11 Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 you're a tadpole until you make ten posts, then you're a "geocacher." The site felt that "tadpole" was better than "newbie," considering the frog mascot theme here. Premium members can change their forum titles to whatever they want. I wanted "Tadpole."

+WhatsRNutts Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 now, how do you change what is says? I am a premium member and I thought mine said "all hail the IPU" but it isn't. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 edit your profile, then click the "forums" link to re-register the changes with the forum server. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 After editing your profile, did you click on the special link that updates the information on the forum server so that it is synchronized with what's on the Geocaching.com server? That is usually the issue. The other common problem is not editing the profile properly (not entering your password, not clicking the submit button, etc.) Quote Link to comment
+Kai Team Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 why am i a tadpole? You're not - you're a geocacher now! (Since you've hit 10 posts). Quote Link to comment
+ATMA Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I was wondering the same thing. Quote Link to comment

+xtinkshun Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Ok...what the heck am I doing wrong???? I've tried changing the caption under my icon NUMEROUS times and it still won't come up. I know I'm not THAT stew-pid. HELP! Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Ok...what the heck am I doing wrong???? After you make changes to your profile, do you come back to the forums via the forums link on GC.com? You have to do that, or the changes don't "take". Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 The "tadpole" lable helps remind forum regulars not to slam you for asking silly questions, like "Why am I a Tad . . .". Oh. Never mind. Quote Link to comment
+xtinkshun Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yup. Tried that. Tried logging off and logging back on. Tried just about everything. Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Log off, go to the GC.com site, change your title, save your changes, and then *from that site*, click on "Forums" and then "Enter the Groundspeak Forums." That will reset it. Quote Link to comment
+xtinkshun Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Did exactly that...and still nada. Quote Link to comment

+xtinkshun Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 AH HA! To edit the caption under your avatar, go to your account on gc.com, put in your password, scroll down the page until you see FORUM TITLE (Under Occupation), enter what you want, then hit update account. When you go back to the forums, it's there. TA DA! Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Good heavens! All that angst, and that's what you wanted to change your title to? Quote Link to comment

Never mind. Boy, I got slammed when I made my first post and I was a "tad" Ok, I deserved it! Quote Link to comment
+xtinkshun Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Good heavens! All that angst, and that's what you wanted to change your title to? Affirmative! Occasional Angst is a good thing. LOL Now I can mix things up and have fun. Quote Link to comment
+Zzyzx Road Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 And here I just asked some of these same ?? elsewhere. Instead of coming here and reading first - although my ? wasn't about tadpole status. So, you move up in the world after 10 posts, but you can change your avatar caption with a premium membership?

+AuntieWeasel Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 So, you move up in the world after 10 posts, but you can change your avatar caption with a premium membership? Yes, you can. Many people are surprised to learn that my forum title isn't one of the regular landmarks built into the system. I made it up myself. Heyyyy, lookit! I'm eight away from 2,000! Quote Link to comment
+Zzyzx Road Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Alrighty then...I have now dried behind my ears (at least I WASHED back there!) I will now make a few more posts, then that darned Amphibious moniker will go away... Quote Link to comment
+Zzyzx Road Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thanks to all of you, I now will just blend in! Quote Link to comment
