New member question

[DrunkWhenSober]

I've seen a few accounts that are classified as New member but it shows they joined in 2018, 2019, etc. That's not very new. Can anyone explain? Thanks

It's based on number of posts, I believe.

Yup!

Let me try. The New Member tag line below your user name can be changed by the member.
Why are there so many "New Members" that have been around for years - well it's up to the member. The tag under your name is editable.
I think when the last big update hit - that editable tagline got defaulted for some members to "New Member"
It's up to the member to edit and change their own tag.

To change the tag - head to the top of the page where you see your name and icon... click on your name.
You will see "Your Account" .... head down to "Account Details" and click on that ... from there scroll down and look at "Custom title " .... you can alter New Member there and change it to what you want.
For God's sake - don't change it to .. Well Known Member . Try to be original.

Hope that helps.

Wrong. Not really based on anything - just happenstance. If you don't like it, change it (see above).

What? Really? That's interesting! Pretty sure mine comes with the tag!
