Didn't mean to clutter up the forums with yet another thread, but I hope this will garner better notice: Does anyone know where/how to change the title under one's username. Mine is currently dated and I want to change it, yet when I go into my account settings I can't seem to locate the title change option. I can change my avatar pic, though, but that's about it.

See that line of links at the top of each forum page with "My posts", "My questions", "My Settings", and "Help"? Click on that settings, and you'll find it.

The forum is still very much separate from the rest of the site.

Thanks. I was clicking the settings on that newfangled black bar at the top of the page; not the settings button on the top of the page itself.

(Though now that one thinks about it, GOG should really integrate that stuff with the account settings bar as well.)

They should indeed. The forum is the only part of the site that hasn't seen a massive visible update since launch (the store has been updated at least a couple times, the wishlist once and the support section at least once), just a couple small fixes here and there.

I just found it odd that one can change their avatar via the black bar settings menus, yet one has to click my settings near the top of the page to change their title.

The avatar is used in multiple parts of the site, while the title is only used on the forum.
The forum settings page is for settings that only concern the forum (at least that what I assume they thought when they decided to have multiple settings pages). While I understand that train of thought, I don't agree with it.

Still, imho there should be a forum settings section in the site settings tab/pages.

They should restore the scrapped notification system before they go and break something else.

What makes sense from the user PoV but not for GOG is a mystery that will bewilder generations to come.

Yeah. As I said, I don't agree with their decision to put settings in multiple places. Hopefully, it's just a remnant of earlier times which gets changed when/if the forum gets replaced.
