Under "My Options" at the top, then "Personal Details" on the left.

LJ reports that ornery members can’t do that, but mods can do it for them 😒

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

Yeah, I've looked into it, and can't see any way to just open "User Ranks" to anyone. Happy to change anyone's if they want it changed...

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

Can I just be a mod?  I'll behave.

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

I tried to do a video but it does not like me.
Maybe it likes me a little.

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

I mean... my personal instinct is to just make all the regulars mods, but then the cynic in me says that's way too naive of me.

I suppose I could bump glatt and Limey up to Admins (conferring complete and total control of the board, including deleting it outright), and restrict mods to the barest of abilities (meaning no banning of users or ability to edit someone else's user rank, but still the ability to edit/delete other people's posts--which does leave a username trail when it happens, but nonetheless might get tricky?)

Happy to be democratic about it, you guys tell me what you want.

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

Are ALL mods changed globally with permission, or can you have junior and senior Mods?

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

Mods are one global category, Admins are the other. Everyone else is everyone else.

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

Well, I don't even do that thing where you quote someone and say fixed it for ya.... so don't worry about me fucking with anyone's content.  or banning people 

do i need a sponsor?  or a signed petition?

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

I'm not worried about you abusing anything. But I'm a benign figurehead and I bow to the will of the people. (Though Diaphone Jim's comment about the "in crowd" does come to mind...) The current list of users is:

lumberjim
Flint
Clodfobble
Limey
glatt
DanaC
BigV
griff
monster
fargon
Carruthers
Undertoad
footfootfoot
Happy Monkey
Diaphone Jim
keryx

I can make everyone a mod. Or you can all PM me a yes/no vote on expanding the moderator list to include LJ (and anyone else who wants to self-nominate.) Or whatever. This isn't my place, it's our place.

Make all the old hands mods, then new people after a year become a mod.

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

I wouldn't have a problem with anyone on that list being able to fix minor problems etc and control fires until admins could get there.

I didn't want to keep my old user name. I hope that's okay.

Why would you omit your cellar.org name?

I might mind

Ha, ha. I'm not really all that bothered if you mind or not, I was just trying to be polite!

Re: So um, how do I change my user title?

Will you tell us who you used to be, just so we know? I mean, it's fine, it just feels like a long-term guessing game.
