    I've noticed that some folks have curious things under their avatar in place of the usual "Prius Poster" etc. How do I change mine?

    Thanks.

    ok... now that i look at it, the answer seems vague....


    go to "my controls" at top of any page.

    on left side under "personal info"

    then do the above...

    Okay. I found it. It's "Custom Member Title." Thanks a lot Dave.

    In this context, Tenure means you've been around for a while. When a teacher or college professor gets tenure it means she cannot be fired except for cause.

    I don't know whether Dave is right or not about tenure being required. He might be. Click on My Controls at the top of any page, then look for Personal Profile / Edit Profile Info. Then at the top of the page, the first form field will be Custom Member Title, if the option is available to you.

    Note that you are a "Prius Poster," whereas I was a "Senior Prius Poster." You might need to wait to become a "Senior" before the option is available. Stick around. It won't take all that long. I've been on this board for a couple of years. Dave's been here for almost that long. Seniority has its privileges.

    you need a couple hundred posts to be able to edit your title.

    yes, tenure has its advantages :D

    I think it's a great thing to be able to change the "title" under your avatar. It's just one more thing that provides a little more insight into the person behind the posts.

    At some point, someone said that the threshold was 500 posts.

    i kinda thought i might have overheard someone saying it could have been that you may need to have been a premium member with triple figure posts.

    I've tried to draw up a simple-to-follow illustration. See if this helps:

    And this is exactly why I have two accounts.
    Under Priapus, I don't have that option at all.
