Membership levels are based on post counts. A member's status is not an indicator of content quality, originality, or helpfulness. Membership status only defines the individuals that frequent the site more often than other members. The breakdown is as follows:

# Junior = 1-30 Posts
# Member = 31-500 Posts
# Senior = 501-1000 Posts
# Ultimate = 1001+ Posts

Special membership privileges include:

# Custom Avatar = 50+ Posts
# Custom Title = 3000+ Posts

Custom avatars and titles are subject to all moderation policies. These features are not to be used for spam, promotion of other sites, or activities that may violate TechIMO operating policies.

TechIMO is primarily a support forum, so while we do have a community forum where members can discuss not-tech related topics, messages posted in that forum do not increase a member's overall post count.

So where's the option?

The link worked, but no upload option.

Maybe they should change the requirement from a certain number of posts to a certain skillset level

I can't find the place where you change your custom title in the user CP?

Edit Profile

Custom User Title
This is the title that appears beneath your name on your posts. Check the 'Reset' box if you wish to use the default title for your usergroup and post count.
Your current user title is
Ultimate Member Reset
Custom User Title

I can't find that anywhere! I swear I have looked through the User CP menus a whole bunch of times but cannot find the option to edit the custom title! I just ran through the Edit Profile options a few times and I am pretty certain there is no such custom user title thingy.

Appears there is a minor usergroup promotion issue. I took a quick look, but some additional changes were recently enacted, so I filled an error report instead.
