bobg1951chevy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I see classifications, under the user names. Member, Junior Member, Senior Member, AACA Member are the ones I see. How are they determined? Mine shows Junior Member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Bob, There was a recent(2/3/4 or maybe more months ago?) thread on this topic. From my failing memory, turns out you can access that descriptive by editing your profile and change it to whatever you want. That's why mine is now PACA Member with PACA meaning Packard Automobile Club of Australia!

I did as you suggested, but find my "rank" is already pre-posted, with no alternative for me to make changes.

Ozstatman Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Bob, Are you sure. Once in your profile, select the Edit Profile button and it should open up. Change "Junior Member" to whatever you want then scroll down and click the Save button on the bottom right. If you want to be a Jedi Knight, here's your chance!

mike6024 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I went from Junior to Senior for no reason that I am aware of, especially being very new here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Yes edit profile and fill in the box that says "Member Title" with what you want to appear. It's probably finding the "edit profile" button that is the sticking point. It is in the upper right and has the image of a pencil next to it. In the upper right corner of your "cover photo" to be more precise. "edit profile" tab is next to the same tab you use to upload your cover photo, the "cover photo" tab.

You still show junior on my screen. Odd. I was told , many years ago, the newbee, junior , senior changed by post number. I don't know the formula or if that is even correct.

MCHinson Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The label starts out a Junior Member and at some number of posts, it should change automatically to Senior Member. I don't remember what the number is. It is possible (or was at one time) to manually change your own title to something personalized. I don't know if the current version of the forum software still has that option or not. The profile editing was fairly easy at one time. I think it is a bit more confusing now, if it is still an option at all. If someone can't figure out how to do it and really wants it done, they can send me a request by PM and, with my administrative access, I can edit it for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Agree, hard to find settings particularly since I only see part of the labels in my browser. Way I found is go to the top right of the page. Click on your name (not the avatar). Select "Account Settings". On the far right under "Other settings" select "Edit Profile". The "Member Title" is the first fill in the blank. Can go past one line. I do not know if there are any requirements (e.g. number of posts, member status) to do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Just click on your name. Find edit profile. Click on that. Then write something in the Member Title box. That's how I over road my Senior Member and changed it back to Junior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it is an issue of curiosity only. I'm not hung up on titles, I saw the different titles and wondered why and how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
