What are the user titles and how do they work?

The default user titles are:
Newbie: 0
Member: 25
Veteran: 1000
Fanatic: 10,000
Maniacal: 100,000
 
At 500 posts users can select a custom title. Please remember to keep them appropriate and that also post count farming to get to this stage is against the forum's Community Standards.

These titles are not to be confused with the user groups which are displayed below a users avatar - these groups correspond to whether you're a member, moderator, administrator, etc.
 
What is reputation and how does it work?
Reputation is based on ratings of content. 
 
The reputation ranks on your profile are not listed anywhere. Please discover these for yourselves by posting well written and helpful posts. :)
 
How do I control which notifications I receive?
You can customise your notification settings at https://linustechtips.com/main/notifications/options/. For individual topics, you can follow or unfollow them using the follow button at the top of the page (or bottom on mobile).
 
How do I post images?
You can paste images directly into the editor, paste a link to an image on an external site, or drag and drop an image into the attachment area in the editor.
 
Can I change my thread title?
Yes, simply select the edit button on your thread and you will see the thread title box toward the top of the page.
 
Can I delete my content?
Currently no, we do not allow users to remove their content. If you require something deleted, please report it. Do not directly message a staff member as they may not be online whereas other staff will see the report.
 
Will there be a mobile app for iOS, Android etc?
At the moment we have no plans to develop a mobile app for the forums.

 

How do I get badges?
Badges are awarded for specific roles and duties by staff. 
 
I have a bug, where or who do I talk to about it?
Please post to this forum: https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/82-bugs-and-issues/
 
I have an idea for the forum, where do I submit it?
Please post to this forum: https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/81-feature-suggestions/
 
I have not received my activation email or password reset email and cannot login to my account. 
Please submit a ticket using the Forum Support link in the footer.
 
My post count does not increase when I post in off topic?
Posts in Off Topic, Bugs and Issues, and Forum Suggestions don't count towards your post count.
 
Giveaways - can I post them?
We would ultimately prefer if you don't. However, you are allowed to giveaway game keys or any other product that does not require personal details such as shipping addresses. At no point are you allowed to sell or trade items or post links to auction sites like eBay or trading sites like CraigsList or Gumtree.

 

Tagging/mentioning users

To mention a user, simply type @ and then their username, then select their name from the dropdown - eg @Windspeed36

Are forums staff applications accepted?
Currently we do NOT accept applications for forums staff.

 

Username Changes / How do I change my username/display name?

This can be done from within your user settings

 

My Discord account says failed to verify email or failed to link to my forum account?

How do I change my username/display name?

Please contact a member of the moderation team for this. Usernames will only be changed for one of the following reasons.

  1. The username is broken in export from Steam or other third party and results in a username of a numerical value.
  2. The username contains personal identifiers such as a persons full name.
