There has been some confusion with user titles and user rank images. Members have seen the user rank image of "Com. Member" whilst their titles says "Elite Member".
Your rank image is independent of your user title display. Your rank image is calculated on posts AND time at the forums. Your user title text can only be calculated on posts. Elite members and above can choose their own user title. No usergroup can choose their own user rank image.
The real indication of what usergroup you are in is displayed by your rank image. The user titles are confusing everyone, so we should use new user titles that don't reflect what usergroup you are in.
Suggestions for new user titles? Please place them in this thread. I will replace the below if I see cooler user title suggestions.
I have now set the default user titles as below:
User Titles Based on Minimum Posts
1 - Newbie
100 - Diamond in the Rough
500 - Upcoming Legend
1000 - Shining Star
Remember, as an Elite Member or above, you can choose your own user title.
Cheers.
