Hiya

Sorry for the stupid (potentially) question - but I wondered how to change the title under the pc's name - as an example

this pc has what I mean.

How do I do that, please and thank you :P

User Control Panel > Profile > Edit profile > "Custom rank"

It's way down at the bottom when you're editing your profile, same page you put links to character sheet, journal, plotnotes, etc. If you have permission to edit it (some forums have a delay or post requirement, but I don't think ours does) then it should be there. :)

Nope, it's not there. After the ICQ /messenger / interests bit, beneath the place where I edit my birthday, it has the following:
Race: *
What is your race? You can change this at any time.

Profession:
List your character's profession here.

Fame:
Everyone starts at 0 Fame.

Character Sheet:
URL link to character sheet.

Narrator's Notes:
The link will be provided to you once your character sheet is approved.

Plot Notes:
Post your character's plot notes page link here.

Office:
[Prophets only] A link to your office.

Partner:
This section is for IC relationships only. A Partner can be a character who has a close relationship to yours, a lover, contracted, or a married partner. NPCs are accepted. Use URL link to partner's profile or section where their information is listed.

Player Review:
Provide a link to your review topic.

Personal Journal:
Provide a link to your personal journal.

Templates:
Post the link to your templates page here.
And it then ends. On both my pc's.

Yes, I am experiencing the same thing, now that it has been brought up.
On Linika, I have "Medical Assistant" there, but for the life of me I can not find an accessible field on any page that shows it as an entry.
Nor do I remember now how it was done. :?
When I go to the "groups" page, under "Approved Characters", it shows that Linika's is "Medical Assistant", but there is no accessing it for change.
Eddrick does not have it available on any edit or entry page I can find. His still just reads "Approved Character".
He DOES have "Bandit/Deserter" in his profession field, but it's not the same thing.
Now my obsessive curiosity is piqued.
Insanity awaits if help does not arrive soon... :shock:

I just tested it on a regular account and you're right; it's not there.

I'll poke one of the Narrators when I see them!

Curiously, I have the field on my own "Edit profile" page, but none of my PC alts do.
Apparently this is a permission issue, and I lack clue regarding the means to permit. :lol:
But, I CAN raise an unholy stinkfest in the back rooms in the meantime. :twisted:

I remember this being an issue in the early days, which I believe was an easy fix. My first 3 PCs have the ability to set a custom rank, but my later PC account does not. The only thing I can think of is that when we transferred the site onto a better server to allow more access, some permissions might have ben lost. Hopefully, as others have said, when we get someone online with access to the ACP, we can get this issue fixed. What the result will probably be (what it was before I believe) was that the permission to change a rank was granted to Approved Characters.

That's a bit wordy, Mal. No one is every going to be bothered saying that, especially drunken pirates. I would suggest you work on something more catchy.
