Some years ago, when was I using a UBB version in the 500 series, I was able to modify the perl code that identified each member on the board as "Member", so that for a particular individual, he would be identified on the Board by a different title, e.g., "General Manager".

I see that in 6.7.2 members are now identified as "Member #1", etc. The question: having completely forgotten what I did last time (I'm not a programmer), how can I again hack the code so that, for a particular named individual, he is identified by a specific title?

For future referance, InfoPop does not support modifying stock code; in fact, by modifying your code you're voiding your warrenty. With that out of the way, UBBDev is a large site for modifications.

This issue in particular is an easy one (in 6.7 at least) as it doesn't involve modifying a thing, login to your control panel, click "member management", browse to the member you wish to edit, click the "Fields" tab and change "User Custom Title" to what you'd like to display.
