> [@jdavis](#): > > For Libertarian, Jadis, and vix I noticed that your user account had a custom title turned on with a value of Member. I edited your user account so that you will be using the default Charter Member title for subscribed users. This may happen for a number of other users as well. If it happens to you please post to this thread and one of the Administrators will resolve the problem. > > Jerry I believe this happened to me as well. If someone could fix me, it would be greatly appreciated. ---
