I have just done an import from ubbclassic 6.7.0 to ubbthreads 7.1.1. In classic, I used the "User custom title" box to generate a Moderator picture on the left of the posts with a link like this
<Moderator<br /><img src="http://www.bobdunsire.com/forum/modheads/ianl.jpg">>
When the import was done, all these showed up where they were meant to but... I can't find the links so I can make changes. In 7.1.1, I look at the member field and I find a "Member custom title" box, but it's empty. When I add the code like that shown above, I wind up with two images and titles in the mods posts.
Where can I find these files to either delete them or do edits?
We don't allow avatars on our forum if that's important to this.

Figured this out. I went into the DB, user_profile table, found that the link was in user_title. Moved to user_custom_title, still not visible in member management. Deleted from DB, entered in the Member custom title in member management, now appears and is editable.
So the importer places it in the wrong field?
Is this a bug?

As you noted, there is now a separate field for custom titles; this was introcuded in the 7.x series of the UBB (actually I believe it was introduced in 7.0.2 or 7.1).
This is differant than how it was handled in UBB.classic whereby it doesn't store in the postcount title area.

So.. does this mean that every single title I used to have for my users on the board will be stuck there unless I manually go into the DB and change them?
I am on 7.1.1 and I am having the same problem... My users still have their own custom titles from the old 6.54 board.. but when I go to change those titles.. the title box is empty.. and anything I add appears along with the original title in the users profile and on the board..
Thoughts?

Theres an option in the postcount titles area, to reset everyone to stock titles; this would be your best bet. custom titles now have their own section in the database, so that they don't overwrite the postcount title ones.

I hacked my control panel to edit the postcount titles instead of the custom title.
We don't use postcount titles anymore. Well, in a sense. After X period of time, or after Y posts you can ask for your own custom title. We had that also in UBB 6.x, so it was easier for us just to hack the control panel.

I have a similar question here. We just upgraded from 6.5.4 to 7.1.1, the only members to have custom titles were our moderators and Admin, they all imported nicely and are appearing under their avatars. The problem I'm having now is when I add any new moderators, the custom name only shows in their profile and not with their avatars when i add it in member title.
Any fix for the , my new mods are feeling slighted?

mods can edit their own custom titles, if you check 'moderators' in the member titles section cpanel --> profile settings --> Member Titles (tab) --> Show groups

Thnaks, I just tried again but I keep getting this error: REPLACE INTO ubbt_MODERATOR_PERMISSIONS (USER_ID,MODERATOR_CAN_EDIT_USERS,MODERATOR_CAN_APPROVE_POSTS,MODERATOR_CAN_EDIT_POSTS,MODERATOR_CAN_LOCK_POSTS,MODERATOR_CAN_MOVE_POSTS,MODERATOR_CAN_DELETE_POSTS,MODERATOR_CAN_STICK_POSTS) VALUES ( '2474' , '' , '' , '1' , '1' , '1' , '1' , '1' )
Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'MODERATOR_CAN_EDIT_USERS' at row 1 I'm not a programmer, so that's completely Greek to me!

OK...it worked when I became that moderator, BUT.... now the old custom name that she previously had is still showing under her avatar along with her new custom name. I have no idea how to remove this old name?

The post count title is stored in a seperate portion of the db than the custom title (as the old style would break things); if the custom title is populated, it will show along side the postcount title; i beleive this is fixed in UBB.T7.2

Well I think there should probably be 3 separate Title methods. 1. Post Count Title (changes depending on amount of posts) 2. Custom Tilte (user, mod, admin changed or allowed) 3. Administrator Assigned Tilte on a per user basis When #3 is used it disables #1 That would seem to me to appease, handle everyones request as from what I gather more and more users appear to be complaining of how it now works. Best I can suggest is for now to manually go in with like MySQLAdmin or similar and overwrite the Title as often as needed. Here is some basic code that SD and I worked on (mostly by SirDude) DO NOT run it as is. Just posted so you can get an idea of how to modify it by running in Control Panel. If you want to do something like this then modify it to run on only who you want it to run on. You MUST edit - do not run directly or you will modify ALL Moderators. UPDATE ubbt_user_profile as t1, ubbt_users as t2
SET t1.USER_TITLE='Moderator'
WHERE t2.USER_MEMBERSHIP_LEVEL='Moderator'
AND t1.USER_ID=t2.USER_ID Remember this is only an example. I really hope that Rick will at least think of implementing something like I suggested above or similar. .
