Between my avatar name and my avatar picture is the text "emu egg". How do I get rid of this? Or at least put something more appropriate?
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

The more you post it will change,you will have no control over it until you have 5oo posts(I think),and no spam will not help,just get you banned.WARNING....you will soon be a butterfly and then a bunch of birds,do not panic,this is all part of the plan.

Hi, Krex,
Thanks for the reply. Well, I guess I'll just have to see what hatches!

There is thread called WrongPlanet.net FAQ that answer your questions about
member rankings.

As your post count climbs, your "Rank" goes up through an avian progression, of sorts. You'll pick it up. The changes require progressively longer jumps, and you'll stay a Phoenix from your five hundredth post until your thousandth, by which time you'll have totally forgotten about all this.
However, at some point (post 1200 or so) you'll remember that you've been waiting to make your own stamp, and you'll discover that it's not obvious how to do it.
Here is a list of the ranks,
and about when you achieve
them:

Emu Egg 0-8
Butterfly 9-17
Hummingbird 18-24
Tufted Titmouse 25-49
Yellow-bellied Woodpecker 50-74
Blue Jay 75-99
Raven 100-124
Snowy Owl 125-174
Pileated Woodpecker 175-199
Sea Gull 200-249
Tucan 250-299
Dienonychus 300-399
Velociraptor 400-499
Phoenix 500-999
Custom Title 1000+ |
Just pretend that you are wanting to upload a new avatar from your computer... so ...
My Account
Edit Profile
Upload Through Forum Profile
That will get you to:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=editprofile
(which you can bookmark, or may already have bookmarked.)
Lo and behold, there's a new line for "Custom Rank" (max 50 characters) - make it what you will.
Now, you may not have this problem, but personally, I've been going in for long signatures.
On this form, the signature is limited to 150 characters, whereas the other form lets you put in 255. When uploading a new avatar or changing rank, this always bugs me. I have to chop my sig out, update avatar/rank, go back the the other form and change my sig back to what I want.
Oh. And my browser always auto-completes ONE of the two password fields on the initial form, which I often forget about, so it says they don't match and I have to scrub the one it auto-completed. |

^In 6 more posts.
So... What's up with the ordering? Why is Velociraptor after Deinonychus? Velociraptors were smaller! |

Scotts-Irish, according to my genealogy...
No, there's a certain member (no names, please...you know who you are.., who announces a 500th post about every other week, and is getting closer to 30,000 than 25,000. That's his own game, ain't no never-mind, but the Cracker Jack reference is made from an old candy popcorn box with a 'prize' inside it...
