UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Custom Title - Auto Display or only manual?

I think I screwed up.

Instead of directing members to use the subscriptions link in their user name drop down (http://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/subscriptions.html), I directed them to a page I created.
http://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2306943.html

Now the few people who jumped on board immediately don't have a badge, even though they are assigned to a supporting group that has an icon associated with it.

I take it the automatic badge display option only works if you start with the subscription link in your membership drop down?
Any way I can fix the ones that I messed up on (short of manually creating a custom title)?

thank you.
