+boisestate Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 how do you change the title (i.e. premium member) under the cacher name in forums? I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking. Thanks Quote Link to comment

I have a backlog of about 500 phrases to change it to. You might be able to change your "Location" by using the "Account Settings" feature here in the Forums. That worked fine for me until I kind of deleted the entire feature while messing around. Edited October 17, 2017 by kunarion 2 Quote Link to comment

Ok that makes sense. It's not that important, I'm just a fan of customization...adds personality - ya know. Thanks for the feedback. Edited October 17, 2017 by boisestate Quote Link to comment

I try it all the time, anyway, hoping one day it will work. There's a short discussion here about the issue. That also mentions how to change the signature line. Plus, I think the "Location" can be edited in a similar way, but I'm not able to test that. It looks like the only thing a member may change in the Geocaching.com Profile, and have it propagate to the Forum, is their avatar image. Other things are changed within the Forum software, except for the "Forum Title", where the ability to change it was somehow lost in transition.

+noncentric Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The "Premium Member" test under the username and above the avatar image in forum threads should be editable using the link that RuideAlmeida provided this one under the "Forum Title" section. As noted by other, you'll usually need to log in/out of the forums to see the changes. The "+Premium Members" text under the avatar image in forum threads is not editable. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've tried once a week (and again a minute ago) since I had to let my account go basic for an issue with a gift card. Haven't been able to get it back since... Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 OK -- now I don't even see the option to edit forum title on the account settings page (using link above). I know signature is edited using the forums setting page here, but it also lacks an option for forum title. I'm sure it's obvious, but I don't see what I'm missing. Quote Link to comment

On mine, it's just a scroll down the account settings to find both forum title and forum signature, though forum title hasn't worked since August (for me). Quote Link to comment

I see it now. For some reason it took at least a minute more than the rest of the page to load. (Perhaps because the hamster that runs that part of the page is trying, unsuccessfully, to communicate with the hamster running the old forum software and doesn't know the number changed? Just a guess.) Edited October 19, 2017 by hzoi Quote Link to comment

"Should" being the key. Curious if you tried it yourself, though I'd understand if you don't want to take a chance of losing yours too. Kinda surprised it's not a thread in Website bugs yet. 1 Quote Link to comment

As I was trying to figure out what the deal is, I deleted the menu item for "location" from my Forum account setings. It's gone! I can't set my location. But I think that setting is still available to most, and so is the forum signature, both in the Forum settings. The avatar picture is set from the Geocaching Profile. You can type a new forum title, but it has no effect in the forum. Not by logging out & in, not any way at all. Anyone who says otherwise, go ahead and try it. It 110% guaranteed doesn't work.

Is there any update on when/whether the Forum Title feature will be fixed? 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I should probably change mine if they ever get it fixed. Have never had a tenant. 2 Quote Link to comment
