One possible compromise is to make the avatar your profile pic. Profile pics can be viewed by all members from your profile page. Go to User CP \> Edit Profile Picture to upload.

You can’t use html. Custom title will replace member title, but you can switch between the two at any time.

That’s awesome. I didn’t get it earlier.

I just changed my title. I have a few extra mod heads lying around, if anyone wants them delivered to their beds for breakfast.

Ah - I was thinking of the wrong kind of geezer. I was thinking that maybe “Rockerator” was some sort of legendary persona like Kibo.

I didn’t even think about mods vs rockers.
