+Birdsong-n-Bud Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 How do I get a caption to show under my avatar like some of you have? I tried to write "I AM smiling" under mine, but it won't show here under the avatar on the forums. In my editing page it shows under the picture (and it's been there for awhile now), but here it never seems to show.
Keystone Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Your profile information lives on the Geocaching.com database, and the forums live on another server. When you update your info., you need for the database to tell the forums about the change, to get them synchronized. To do this, you need to access the forums via the "Discuss Geocaching" link on the main navigator menu to the left side of the page. This takes you to a special gateway page, which passes along the changes to the forum server. You will find this information both on your edit profile details page, and on the forums gateway page.

+Birdsong-n-Bud Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 You will find this information both on your edit profile details page, and on the forums gateway page. That is the way I enter the forums each day, through the Discuss Geocaching link. Do you mean there is something additional I need to do after I create the title of the Avatar to activate it?
Jeremy Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 You need to be logged in on the other site for that to work. It should say "Your information has been updated" or something similar.
+planetrobert Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Everybody needs to STOP take a deap breath and re-read the question... The caption under the pic is NOT what will show up. You need to edit your account details. In there is an option named "Forum Title" currently yours says "Premium Member" Change that to what you want to say... save your changes and REENTER the forums.
Jeremy Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 You have to admit the way it is written isn't entirely clear. But thanks for the clarification. 1. Go to your "my cache page" link 2. Click "edit profile" 3. Edit the box for "forum title" 4. Enter in your password (to verify it is you changing the info) 5. Click "update account" button 6. Click the "discuss geocaching" link.
+planetrobert Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 You have to admit the way it is written isn't entirely clear. no, not clear, sorta frosty... you can still see the outline of the question, but the details are hazy
+Birdsong-n-Bud Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 2. Click "edit profile" 3. Edit the box for "forum title" Ah, thank you, Jeremy. That is the information I needed. Sorry I wasn't more clear. I wasn't quite sure how to explain what I needed. I must have visited that "edit page" 20 times, but never connected the words "Forum Title" with a caption that would show. Looking at my question...I am *still* not sure how I would have re-worded it, lol. All set now. Thanks to everyone for getting me there.
