Subscribed, checked a previous post and I was shown as “Member.” Let’s see if the magical powers of this thread work for me. ---

Groovy. I think perhaps our status doesn’t get updated until we make a post after paying. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Just a hunch: Many moons ago, the custom title feature was accidentally turned on for all members. A number of members changed their titles at that point, and they had to all be changed back. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone whose title was changed at that time is now considered to have a custom title. Note that **Lib** has also taken a hiatus or two, one of which I believe had changed his member status to something other than “Member”. Can’t explain the others, though. Mine was doing this, but after a post it switched over to the proper text. ---
