I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking.

Thanks

 

That feature currently does not work.  Mine is from the previous version of the Forum software, and it doesn't change.  I have a backlog of about 500 phrases to change it to. :P

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. :ph34r:

Ok that makes sense. It's not that important, I'm just a fan of customization...adds personality - ya know.

Thanks for the feedback.

Try to log-off and login again.

 

It doesn't work if you log out/in.  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.

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.

kunarion it still looks (to me) you're correct,  still not working.  

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...

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.

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).  :)

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.)

"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.

Be careful about that!  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?
