It was my understanding that "god" was assigned by the software used for the website for the creators\owners of the website. This would be why TB has that title, but I see that Fading Fast also has that, so now I'm confused. ando as well. I tried looking at other forums, but they all require a log in. I think God is a disrespectful way of showing a person's status/number of posts.

I have no idea why it happened and I have no control over it.

I'm guessing it happens after a certain number of posts, maybe the 500 mark?
I don't know if the admin can change the member titles or if they are fixed due to the site host.

Fading Fast is just over 500 posts and has 5 stars. I think Top Billed should have access to the people at ProBoards and the ability to make changes, at least on this forum.

What would be a bette r? Something to do with old movies like in stead of God you could be a "Bogart" or a "DeMille"?

I did not intentionally choose the font Impact. If 500 posts is the magic number, as it appears to be, it should unlock extra abilities. I think that was the case with the old TCM forum. I would like to choose anything in good taste to be above my name.

The UI (User Interface) could use an optimization on forum topics. One enhancement would benefit all, but especially those forums that have fast growth, like today's 'Sunday Live' which added about 10 pages today for its film.
I hope it occurs to other readers that the page widget should also appear at the page BOTTOM to allow the advancement to the 'Next' page for continued reading flow.
It makes little sense to scope the page back to its HEAD-positioned page widget to go forward. What Say Ye?

Thanks everyone for bringing this to my attention. I didn't realize I could change the ranks.
I just changed 'God' to 'Advanced Member.'

Phew, that's a relief. I had no idea what I was going to do if called upon to create a world in six days.

This is not really a request for a site feature per se, more of a wish that I be less of an idiot using the site.
Is anyone else having trouble with the search button? I *thought* I was using it to prevent dupes on my trivia entries.
I can't really swear up hill and down dale it was working earlier but that is my impression/magical thinking. I never did a controlled test when I joined in December.
Now when I try to pull up something like Salome from a couple of days ago I get only one old entry that isn't mine.
If I need to go to some sort of internets reform school kindly advise. I don't think they do brain transplants yet.
Thank you for any tips or tricks.

I will say, the site can be difficult, especially with a mobile device. I do not care for the Guest feature. You can’t tell which Guest is which. In a previous life, on a previous forum, I changed my identity too frequently and everyone hated me for it, except Dargo. I feel the use of Guest is the same concept. I don’t plan to change my identity or avatar ever. It is petty but I wish everyone would consider an avatar. Even a colored square with an initial, like the TCM forum, would be so much better. When I see an avatar, I know who it is and I like that. I appreciate how this forum is relaxed and people like me don’t develop fierce anger towards the moderators. Those who controlled the TCM forum were evil towards me. They didn’t just ban me, but no one using my home Internet had the option to enter the forum. I just know nothing like that will happen here. I complained about the God feature but also located the fix. So hey, I’m a good guy. I would hope any changes would go up for discussion before things were modified. I have plenty of faith in TopBilled. I’m using my iPad and using the return key sometimes produces a single character indent on the next line. Maybe galacticgrrrl and I could ride to Web School on the same bus. “The wheels on the bus go round and round.”

Thank you for any tips or tricks Recently, I have had zero luck with the search function. I even searched key words from a post that I know exists just to run a test and search couldn't find the post. I think the search function is broken, but maybe it's just me. Has anyone else had either a good or bad experience with the search function recently?

I think the guests over here have been well behaved. I've posted only under Newbie, just FYI. I appreciate the option. Registered or not we all are pretty anonymous here except our fearless leader, TopBilled who has posted his picture and real name. You've piqued my curiosity, jimimac71. I gotta ask, what was your name over on that "previous forum"? I'm sorry to hear you had a bad time with the moderators. I lurk at SSO occasionally and gotta say it's friendlier over hear. No squabbling. Not crazy about their new moderator over there, a former TCM forum poster. I enjoy this forum.
