LQ Addict wannabe!

Hi all. I admit this is a silly one... but how can I apply what stated in the LQ FAQ?

Code:

After 5000 posts you can choose between Guru and LQ Addict

I cannot find any similar option in my profile editing pages. Is this still valid? Moreover, I have a suggestion: since someone in the past rightfully noticed that "addict" has a negative meaning.. what about substituting it (or eventually adding a third option) with something like:

Code:

LQ Entangled

? Thank you.

Congratulations on reaching the GURU level colucix.

Kind regards,

Eric

Thank you, Eric! It's really kind of you.

I agree: congratulations. Much deserved indeed.

So right! The Free Dictionary gives the primary synonyms for "addict" as "freak", "junkie" and "nut"! "LQ Entangled" is nice, resonant of love affairs and Quantum Physics; that's suitably broad, humane and technical.

May I throw some more into the ring? How about "Adept", "Buff", "Champion", "Master", "Sage" or "Whiz"? Especially for colucix, though: "Enlightened"

Enough of this frippery, before I start getting fantastical!

Congratulations on the 5000, colucix!

Thank you very much, brianL, unSpawn and catkin. I'm really honoured!

@catkin: your suggestions are funny, especially the LQ freak! Not being a native english, I don't really know its meaning, but thinking at me as a LQ freak makes me laugh!

Unfortunately, I still don't know how to switch to LQ addict or whatever...

colucix, The option to change your user title is on the "Edit Your Details" page in the MyLQ section of the site.

I think it's time we added a couple new title options once you've reached 5,000 posts. See http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-at-lq-753560/ for more information.

Thank you, jeremy, for the new custom titles challenge!

Unfortunately I cannot find the option to change the title in MyLQ "Edit your details" page. I've checked a lot of times, I re-checked again after your post... but maybe I'm blind...
