Title: Your Profile
Post by: Shane on September 26, 2012, 01:27:18 pm
Here, you will get information about your user profile. However, since I'm an admin, I am uncertain which fields will be displayed. If someone would be so kind to help me with this list, thanks!

Oh, and about unread posts (http://shanescavestory.createaforum.com/index.php?action=unread):

Say, can user titles (like you have "Hero of not Surfacia") be edited by members or is that admin-only?

To my knowledge, that's Admin only.

MEMBERS: if you want a new "Special Title", just send me and Taylor a PM. ;)

Requirements for this will be to have at least 95 or more posts (if the forum has 10 or less members).
