    Like the thread title says... when do we get them back? I know typically boards have one "editor" admin and one "watchdog" admin, but surely in a case like this the rule could be stretched, no?

    We'll get them back when X gets it's own special dedication forum.

    . . .

    On a more serious note, however. I too would like to see these back soon, though of course I am not trying to rush. After all, I understand that many-a-people are very-a-busy around here so... yeah...

    Totally missing.

    None of the regular members have that option.

    "BLOOOOOOOOODIA!!!" doesn't really fit my avatar, anymore....=\

    They probably need to install a hack for that. Or maybe no one switched it on yet @_@

    Nope. Cloud and Matt had set it so the custom title option would only be available to users that have been registered for 100 days with 250 posts under their belt. However, with this version, it isn't quite possible anymore; The only way to do it is to enable custom titles for all members or not at all. It's turned off until a solution can be found to get around that.

    Moderators have their own usergroup, so do Supermoderators and Administrators. We have it enabled since we're in a seperate usergroup from members.

    One board I'm a member at is using vB 3.0.1, Maybe that could be the cause of it. But then AnimeSuki forums is at 3.0.0 as well so I'm probably wrong.

    That explains why I can change it on the other two forums. I did it with zero posts, on the first day.

    I have a possible solution in the works, and if all goes well, our more dedicated users will have the power to modify their custom title again.

    BakaMattSu already posted a link on the post before you two. Please, make sure to read through, and click on the link that he gave you.

    It's a direct link to the Power Users thread. Also, I haven't actually seen it stated by him, other than the qualifications of being a power user....but, being a Power User will give you back your custom title powers.

    As well as being able to use custom avatars.
