Text underneath username?

I notice short quotes underneath some other usernames when they post messages on forums, but I can't figure out how to add such a thing on my picture/username display. How is it possible to do that?
 
I have a similar question. How do I edit my page to show my location? I think it would be great to be able to locate fellow B & B members near me. Perhaps meet up for coffee.

This answer to this, is this:
You don't do it. A moderator does it if they find some special thing about you to post under your user name. Me, I ain't special. LOL

I have a similar question. How do I edit my page to show my location? I think it would be great to be able to locate fellow B & B members near me. Perhaps meet up for coffee.

The answer to this, is this:
Click on your Icon at the top of the page, click account details, fill in Location.

That was easy!

Still no answer to my question.

Phil has a quote underneath his username 'luvmysuper' that says 'My elbows leak'.

It has been answered by @Big_T and confirmed by @luvmysuper. Read all the repies.

You don't add it. A Mod or Staff member will add it, if and when they feel like giving you a "custom title".

If you try for one, you won't get it. They happen organically, when you least expect it. It may be a spelling error, a misuse of a word, something clever/witty or stupid you say.

See original answer in post #4 and confirmed by a Mod in post #8

Ah, ok. I thought that was a facetious answer since it seems so weird and nonsensical to me.

I thought it was something the member has control over, and I was just too dumb to figure out how to do it.

Thanks @brucered for the confirmation/clarification.

Yeah, I asked a Mod the exact same question and got the same answer. having said that, I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to see “Weird and Nonsensical” pop up under your name 😂.
 
When I first joined B&B, everyone had a "system generated" title under their name. The list is still floating aroung here somehwere. As your post count went up, the title changed as well (Proraso Pirate, Nancy Boy Nanny, Lather Lover, Schicktastic Shaver, etc). Custom times overrode those though.

When the new software came out, the current system took over, no system generated titles, only custom.

I also believe at one time, depending on your "contributor" level, you could add your own.

At leasts that's how I remember it.

Dude, I had totally forgotten about that. Thanks for the memories.

People used to get so mad at their title if they didn't agree with it....which made it even funnier to everyone else.

Nancy Boy Nanny always got people going. Especially the ones who didn't know Nancy Boy was a branded shaving cream and a darn good one at that.
