You wanted a....

It would so nice to have one sewing forum where it's not assumed all members are "gals".   

I'm going to have to defend Iminei here she usually refers to both sexes in her posts ...she hasn't on this occasion and I'm sorry it has upset you

[Bodgeitandscarper]

It doesn't.  Bugger!

It didn't for me at first, I logged out and closed the tab, then logged in again, but can't remember if that's what made it work actually  - but it does now 

[Bodgeitandscarper]

I'm probably being dull as a hedge here but I can't for the life of me see a box saying custom title.

I'll look again tomorrow - it's been a trying day.

My box said "Personal Text" - have you got one of those?

[DementedFairy]

dooowwnt sulk..it's probably cause you've got the special buntings in the section by your avatar

shurrup you!

[Iminei]

Actually Bodgeit, I sorted it for you!

If theres anybody else wants me to (try and...no promises) add a custom text to your avatars...
drop me a line, preferably with the line of text you want otherwise you will be
Swimming With Skunks in the  South China Seas

God I love alliteration!

Then go to your forum profile and change the text in the custom text box...
remember to click the modify profile button at the bottom of the page and there you go!

I followed your tute, but the change I made doesn't stick.  Still at least I have something, unlike others.

Actually Bodgeit, I sorted it for you!

And there was me thinking I'd been clever 
But thank you very much, you're a star 

[Ohsewsimple]

Not working for me!

[Ploshkin]

Not working for me either.  My original bit of personal text had disappeared from my avatar anyway & the new bit I put in the forum profile hasn't appeared either.

[Iminei]

Let me know what you two girls want.....and for the chaps too, DalbyAU....and I'll alter your settings!

[UttaRetch]

Thanks, Imi.  I rather like 'splendiferous'.  The fish has been returned to the fridge. 

[Iminei]

Phew!!

[Ohsewsimple]

Ooh ahhh.  I'm going to be boring.....

That will do me fine thanks. 

[DementedFairy]

I've checked and checked the instructions, the text is showing on my 'modify profile' page...but nothing on any posts so far.  Is there any reason why it works for some and not others?  Is it a subscription thing?

DF I see your text.

I think it is dependent on whether you are looking on mobile, tablet or desktop. I will try to look into it to make it same across all but apologies I'm dealing with some workplace stress at the moment so I'm struggling to do forum development in the evenings as I'm really out of it by the end of the day!
