Dear staff,

I think someone has pulled a nasty prank on me, or there has been a glitch in the system. The text below my user name says "single and looking." Is this a label all newbies get, because I find it highly offensive. How do I change it?

In Christ,
Geoffrey

Geoffrey,

There has been no nasty prank. You entered that data when you registered on 08-07-2006 and your profile has not changed since. It's only a guess on my part but it is likely that you saw a blank field and entered the first thing that came to your mind without realizing it would show up on every post.

The recently upgraded software was a major rewrite and the software manufacturer did not provide a method of updating user titles (that functionality will return in a future version). I will contact them to see if it is something that can be done easily in SQL.

Quite a hobby you have there Geoffery...! (not "single and looking" but magisterial enforcement!)

Personally, I prefer underwater basket-weaving and long walks on short piers. grin

Geoffrey seems like a fun guy. Maybe he should leave it "single and looking".

I prefer hammer throw and distance running... my husband describes himself as "married and frightened." I'm not sure how to take that!

Administrator John: Since the new software I have tried to change mine to "member" because I had put the title of my icon instead later learning this isn't quite right. Can't change that now. Can it be fixed? Or I will be willing to wait until I can change it back and will just keep that icon of the Theotokos...after whom I am named.

Thanks

Dear Mary Jo,

Now that the admins have learned how to do this with the new software, give me a couple minutes and it will be done.

No matter how much I learn or how old I get, I believe I will always be an abecedarian: one who is just learning; a beginner. I have no shame in asking others to spell it out for me. smile

Fr. Anthony,

I got a bit delayed this week; so I just read your reply.

Thank you for changing that.

May your Advent be thrice-blessed and more.

Mary Jo
