Change custom user text

REBECCAV · Nov 23, 2004

I like to change the text below my avatar now and then. I can't figure out how/where to do that on the new, updated forum. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Click User CP
Click Edit Profile

The box containing the text will be right there.

Save it and you're done.

REBECCAV · Nov 23, 2004

That's just it - the box isn't there. Here's what I see:

Registration Required Info:
Email and Password
MOA#
Real name

Optional:
B-Day
Home Page
IM

Add'l Info:
MOA Clubs
Bio
Location
Bikes
Interests
Job

It doesn't show my current custom user text anywhere, and it doesn't give me the option to change it :dunno

Where do you see it? What is it under?

RatSnake · Nov 23, 2004

I saw it in the Optional Box, and it's title is actuall "Custom User Title".

Hey boxergrrlie,

I have been looking too, and haven't found it either.

Right there where, RatSnake. :dunno

It's not there in my profile. How about some help here. KBasa, are you there. :idea

I can't find a link to load a custom avitar in the new system either. :dunno

Looks like all the features aren't enabled for everyone, because I also have the option to load a custom avatar.

bullit7801 · Nov 23, 2004

Change skin

Hey boxergrrlie

I think I found it. RatSnake may be right about activation. When I changed my viewing skin to the K75 mode, the avitar and custom name whatever appeared. So to change your avitar and expression, change the skin to K75, change what you want, and then change back if you wish.

Think this will work, and I'll try it now. Look for my avitar to be a red R1100RSA as the change.

Should be there for everybody, since everybody's a registered user.

I have it under User CP->Edit Profile

bullit7801 · Nov 23, 2004

Ooppsss

No, it didn't work. :banghead

It looked so different that I thought I saw something that wasn't there. :doh

I do get the edit avitar path to the standards but no way to upload a new one. I'd like to change my expression eventually too, as I will not always be "waiting for spring" Something else would be appropriate by April.

Nope!

Hey Dave,

I have under Edit Profile exactly what boxergrrlie listed in the above post. :dunno

Que Passa, KBasa??

merrittgene · Nov 23, 2004

I see it, too.

Control Panel -> Edit Profile -> Optional Information -> Custom User Title

...like this:

Thanks. Now I know what it should look like, but it is still not there. The first thing in the box is a place to enter my birthday. I'd like to cut the part to post as Gene did, and tried, but don't know the technique. But believe me, it is not there. :banghead

bullit7801 · Nov 23, 2004

My cp

Here is what mine looks like, I hope.
tb

bullit7801 · Nov 23, 2004

Upload worked

Thanks Gene for the technique. I got it to work on the second try.

Again, Que Pasa, KBasa :dunno

Dave, I don't feel a particular rush to have this fixed, but if you guys could get it on your list, boxergrrlie and I would appreciate it. I didn't mean to take this over, but I needed something to do to get away from grading this stack of exams. I hope she is lurking and hoping for a solution. Thanks,

S'not there

Thanks for the screen capture, Gene. Mine doesn't look like that. I've changed the skins, started and restarted the computer, etc. But mine looks like Tom's screen capture.

I have the option to load a custom avatar, but that is not under 'profile.' I have an 'edit avatar' button under 'control panel.'

:help

REBECCAV · Nov 24, 2004

Just changed skins and am using a different browser. Still no dice. Does anyone have any other ideas?

RatSnake · Nov 24, 2004

Since the new forum

I've edited my profile and uploaded a custom avatar. Other than that, I didn't change anything to get the option to change my custom title. That is, unless I did something and then immediately forgot. :dunno

Hey boxergrrlie and all,

I have the edit avitar button as well but here is what I get when I use it. I find no place to load a custom avitar, and yes, I have gone to the third page.

bullit7801 · Nov 24, 2004

Here is the rest of the screen. Gee, these screen captures are fun. Thanks Gene,

That's mighty peculiar.

I've got a bunch of stuff I should get done for work today, so I'll try and take a look at it tonight. I know that there's a setting for minimum number of posts before one can modify their custom user text, but that number should be pretty low, and I'm certain BG has surpassed the threshold.

I'll let you know what I find. The screenshots were enormously helpful, guys, thanks.
