A Custom Title is an assigned name to any user. Typically, custom titles
signify the level of power or special title assigned to the user. Titles can
be anything, from a hierarchy model to just fun names. For example, a Star
Wars Forum may have the ezOp with a custom title of Yoda, an administrator
as Jedi Master, etc. You can add custom titles on a per user basis in addition
to assigning them automatically on a user level basis both ways are
described below.
Key Information
To assign a custom title to a user level, the user level
needs to be created first.
We suggest manually adding your Moderator and Administrators instead
of automatically. Having the right leadership in a community is key to its
success.
Customized titles are not retroactive and will only display after the
change is made. Older posts will not change.
The best way to customize the titles is to copy the code into notepad
and save as a file called test.html. Keep editing your file, and keep checking
it in a browser. Once you're happy with how it looks you can put it into
your board.
Individual Custom Titles will override Member Level based titles

reach this level.

To edit a user level
Log in to your Control
Center and click on the my community tab.
Click on the Member Management button.
Click on the Manage Membership Levels button.
Put the code into the Title for the level you require.
See Examples below.
Examples
These will NOT update until the user posts. Existing threads will not change.
It's a good idea to test these out on your own user name so that you can check
them. Also notice that this code uses single quotes, and not double quotes.
This is because ezboard will strip out double quotes, and then the code will
not work at all. If you find your code behaving erratically, check that all
single quotes are in place, and have not been stripped out. NOTE: Many of the examples below will only work in Microsoft
IE browsers since they are not standards-compliant.
