I just made my first post since today’s updates, and noticed that the title under my name has changed from “Charter Member” to “Member.” Is this part of the changes? Are people’s titles now going to reflect when they signed up, as has been rumoured?
(Not bothered one way or the other, just curious. :))
(On preview I noticed that the title of a new thread appears now, too – very nice!!)
Well, on my monitor you have no title at all.
I think you’re being disappeared.
Or disMembered.
If you signed up after the Charter Member rate was discontinued, you are simply a “Member.”
Not sure exactly how this is going to work, I’ll have to refer this to Jerry for more information.

Don’t mind me.
I got nothin’.
wanna see if I am a member or not. I can’t remember when I signed up.
Heh. I checked in another thread. I had nothin’.
I posted the above. I was a member.
I tried to post a comment about this and was informed that I can’t post that often.
As I type this, there’s nothin’ under my name.
The suspense is killing me.
Greathouse, you come up on my screen as “Charter Member.”
Jerry informs me that the system is still in the process of updating. This is a process that has been ongoing since 1:00 p.m. his time and will likely take hours . . .a lot of hours. Like not completed until sometime tomorrow.
When the process is complete, everyone should have a title. Some will say “Charter Member.” Some will say “Member.” There’s other titles, depending on whether that poster has privileges or not, but those two titles are the ones that mostly apply.
The only inference to be made from these titles is that a Charter Member signed up when we first opened for subscriptions, and a Member came along after that original window of opportunity closed. That’s all it means.
So please don’t get your boxers in a twist or your panties in a wad or whatever it is that happens when you get upset, this will all work out in some hours. It’s a big system and a lot of stuff to grind through.

Holy rank changes, Batman! I swear that it said “Member” when I started the thread…
What’s next? My name will start showing up as just “Misnom”? 
No twisting or wadding … as I said in the OP, I was just wonderin’. 
Thanks for checking with Jerry and passing the info along!
Looks like you lost your menber, too.
hehehehehe
Don’t worry, Misn, I don’t think you have to worry about that.
If i don’t have the Charter Member title, i want my money back!
woohoo!!!
Why does your title read BASDS?
Ouch!
Why create a divide between Members and Charter Members? I’m in favour of everyone having the same title (Mods etc excluded).
It’s a minor sop to the people who were here before it went pay and were part of the core community that convinced those who came later to pay. I think it’s somewhere between harmless and mildly beneficial, and I hope the distinction is maintained.
(And maybe we’ll be allowed to form a House of Lords and have drunken brawls.)
