my custom user title gets reset after a little while
hi... i go into My LQ to edit my profile... i choose to change my user title from "Guru" to "LQ Addict" (cuz i am NOT a guru) and it successfully changes - but only for a few minutes (then it automatically goes back to "Guru")...
just wondering if it's a bug or am i doing something wrong... TIA...

Rep:
Same applies to me so I tried to verify this for you, Jeremy, but I don't even find the place to change the Guru to LQ Addict?!?
<edit> I'll let that stand as a warning against the reckless use of "post quick reply" instead of briefly checking the facts -- ah well, sorry Jeremy & thanks harishankar. (What messed me up was simply the repeated and useless attempt to find the apropriate button ).
No, I mean I administer a vbulletin forum so I know all about using custom titles. I just don't know how Jeremy has set it up here so "choosing" between two or more titles is new to me.
It's something to do with my new Linux editorial at LQ.org. You'll find it in the Articles -> Advocacy section. Also do let me know what you think about my writings.
Jeremy was kind enough to grant me a special user title.

hi. just wanted to let you know that i changed it to "LQ Addict" over 24 hours ago and it seems to have "stuck" just fine... looks like the bug was squashed...
