You can't give members more than one custom title, if that's what you're asking. (You could put more than one into the box if you have some way of delimiting them.)
My signature was here, but then the new rule came and sat on it.
(Spared No Expense - the fully modded ExCoboard) Currently kinda bland, so answer my thread and suggest stuff.

Ok I don't want to give them more than 1 title I would need to use it for something else but since I can change the custom title I was hoping to get a new box to add stuff in that will show up under their title. I hope that makes sense.
But I want set so that ONLY ADMIN can access and change it.

We can't change what the system stores or how it does it.  You could ask for the feature to be added (http://excoboard.com/exco/thread.ph...threadid=122534) but adding it would be up to Peter (the ExCo admin).
It seems like a fairly specific request, though. I don't know if it's likely.

hmmm ok well I figured if it could be done you guys would definately know how to do it. I wonder if there is a way to put it elsewhere in the profile so that only admin could edit it. Thank you for answering my questions this forum has some really great people on it, I am so glad to have found it.

Hi CalMtnGal! 
Can you give us an idea what you would be looking to put on this second line (may give us a better idea of a suitable routine/extension of the User Title)

Oh ok well it would be a Trade Rating, I am hoping to be able to setup a Manager that will auto update this number at some point but right now we will be doing it manually. so it would look something like this
TR/113
But main concern right now was just to have Admin Only access so that people could not change their rating on their own. So putting it in the Sig or something wouldn't work and having the title needs to stay unless we can add it and still keep the title with the post count thing. Anyway I appreciate any help. Thanks so much.

It could be done manually, as your hands are tied with coding routines, where templates are directly talking back to Exco (so to speak)
Being that you would change it manually through the templates, only admin would be able to carry it out. The tricky part is being able to give each member a unique code.
I'll go away and think about it, but welcome any other member's opinion on this query.
.. if only we had access to some Exco databases!!

I guess I should mention that no actual trading will be going on in the forum I just want to be able to record it there. They set it up then record it and when it gets verified then we up the rating.

The principle of what you are trying to do, sounds cool to me.

I haven't quite figured out how to do a trade manager yet, but like I said I can do it manually, I would love to have one before we open just that's one less update to do later.

Yeah, now that admins have more control of member profiles, that would have been an easy way out, but as you say, they can change it too! ... hmm?
It's screaming "fields & database" .. but we obviously don't have that flexibility ourselves.

Well I am not complaining I am thankful that this forum has more flexibility than most available.. I love that it is free since we have no form of income for the forum to pay for one. I am hoping for some donations to help pay for Ad free time.

I couldn't agree more, as we are currently in the same boat, paying for ad removal, in order to place our own to pay for it.

I was thinking I could put the Trade manager in one of the Posting fields since it accepts HTML then just close that forum for posts, but, like I said I don't have the script for it yet so it's not happening yet. As for the Ratings I guess I will just have to figure out a way to put them in and monitor them so that members don't change them.

Well if I had the place to add them manually I would not need separate codes for each number yet, just someplace to actually put the numbers so they will show up above or below the avatar.

The easiest way to put a "global" code below all member avatars/post/reg details.
Go into your Control Panel, enter the thread template, search for "{posts.regdate}" and replace with "{posts.regdate}<br>TR/113"
Until you/we think of a better way, that would at least set the code for everyone.
Hope this helps you out, even if just a tiny amount?

Oh thanks but that sets everyone the same I need each person to be able to be different. Like you could have a rating of TR/12 and someone else may have a TR/325 and still another member may have a TR/113, know what I mean? That was a good idea though. So maybe just a box on the profile so that we can add change or remove that has a title of TR/_____ <-- place to put a number. Thanks for trying.

Yeah, sorry but that's the best I can think of right now, a global code for all members. There would have to be a dedicated field to make it specific for each member.

ok... what I want to know is how to remove the custom template that looks just like this on our forums, and revert to using the themes... I tried to change to a different theme because the look I want is easy enough to do that way... but this green will not go away... can I just delete the custom template code?
