Can we have back our member titles

I was wondering if we could all users get back our user titles. You know the little title that was underneath our username. 

I mean there was really no reason to remove it. Hell the thing barely took up any space whatsoever. Personally I liked them a lot. It was fun reading people's titles and seeing how wacky or interesting they were. 

That's just me though. Still personally it doesn't make any sense of the reason why it was removed. It clearly would fit into the extra space the forum now has.

They were really dumb IMO. They served no purpose and I have yet to find a member title that actually made me laugh.

I find your lack of humor disturbing

half of the member titles that I saw were pretty cringe-y if it gave me any reaction reading them.

YES! How else can I tell people I fold in order to keep my feet warm and other such lame tech related jokes? 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

They're still there on your profile in the Rank section. They just don't appear under your username anymore, which I don't think we can do something about. Even if some of you think they were pointless, they were fun to use.

They can edit the forum software....it's just a little php, you can copy-paste it from the profile page.

I am. You should give me full access to the files and the database, as well as keys to the LMG office.

@Cat :^) what's point of having member titles and not having them show up on posts ? 

2 hours ago, Godlygamer23 said:

I'm not a dev so I don't know.

it's actually enabled by default in ipb4, the only way to remove that feature is if a mod eddied the theme manually to remove it since that feature is already baked in with the theme. 

find : 

<if test="membertitle:|:$author['member_title']">        <li class='desc member_title'>{$author['member_title']}</li>        </if>

change to 

<!--<if test="membertitle:|:$author['member_title']">        <li class='desc member_title'>{$author['member_title']}</li>        </if>-->

or you know, this

It's pretty foolish to remove something tons of people made use of and wasn't an issue.
All in all I'm pretty disappointed in the new forums for many reasons, so many things were made worse, and so many things were changed that were fine.

Lots of fixing what wasn't broke happened
Just add improvements and don't redesign the wheel... Don't edit and remove things that were perfectly fine...

200% on board for this. Member titles were awesome and were a nice way to distinguish yourself instead of everyone just being a "member".
