Is it normal behavior for both a custom and standard title to display below the users name?

If you had a custom title in the old version, then yes. What we did for 7.1 is added a new dedicated custom title field. The first one is stricly a post based title now, however I didn't want to overwrite those on the upgrade.

You can edit everyones new custom title in the control panel. Once everyone has that set then you can go into the Post based titles section and check the box at the bottom to reset those titles so they display correctly.

A bit confusing, but hopefully that make sense.

Yeah, I just noticed that new users have both the custom, if I assign them one, and the post count titles. So, I did the check box and ran the update. This wiped out all the custom titles and just left the defaults. I just went back in and add the custom titles to everyone.

My only thoughts would be to make it possible to display just the custom title if want. It seems there is no way to turn off the display of the post based titles now.

I'm glad custom titles are back for users, and it's okay I think if their post count titles remain as well, but I'm having multiple issues with this now...

Being a gangster movie fan forum, my title is "The Don" and my co-admin is "Consigliere" -- both in bold and red. These were put in place before the 7.1 Custom Titles field, with the old Classic fields. Worked fine, and as admin I could change them, and custom user titles, in the CP. However, now that I installed 7.1, there's no way to edit these old titles because they don't show up in CP. If I add a custom title in my own profile right now, it shows up in addition to the old custom title (the one I cannot edit).

.Classic had Admin and Moderator default titles in Control Panel » Profile Settings » Member Titles, where I used to set these, but Threads doesn't.

Also - all users used to be able to use UBB code bold and italics in custom titles, but not any more. Admins can't either, only with HTML.

And - I can't seem to delete a custom title in my own profile settings, but need to go into CP to delete it... this last one is most serious...

Thanks

Yeah, I noticed that yesterday as well. I had to manually go into the database and change it.

Lol yes, we need some way to edit them after they're set; I agree completely

The problem is if you have an edit box for the Post Count Based title field now then admins will be tempted to use it for something other than post count based titles. And then we fall back into the same problems we had before when the field was used for something other than a Post Count based title

The problem is that some people have custom values in here still. Currently this takes a database change for that particular user. We could put an edit box for it but I really don't want to put an edit box for a field that shouldn't be edited, for the reasons mentioned above

Well, i set the title "El Presidente" at my site, and the only place I can edit it is through the edit profile screen as a user, it doens't show in the edit user screen...

"Member Custom Title: " always shows blank, no editing, just changnig to a new one

I see, and can change, your Resident Post-A-Holic title here. It's listed under your Member Custom Title field. Your Carpal Tunnel one I can't edit via the control panel however, as that's the post count based one.

Just to show, I gave you a very special custom title.
