Hi Everyone, I'm John from Buckinghamshire, England. This is my first post on this forum so please forgive any faux pas. I'm a keen amateur taking a wide range of subjects using in the main Canon DSLRs. This seems a friendly place and am looking forward to being an active member of the forum. I have attempted to insert a selfie but not sure I have been successful.

Welcome John, no faux pas whatsoever, and your pic looks fine. It is indeed a friendly forum and I enjoy my membership, as I'm sure you will yours. Look forward to viewing any posts you make.

Thank you Peter for your kind words.

PS How do I insert my own name as an aka as you have?

Hello John, May I echo Peter's welcome to the forums... I, like some others, am from the UK, but, in my case, I live now in Canada. I look forward to your posts in due course...

Kind regards

Thank you Peter for the instructions, but Oh Dear! I can do steps 1 & 2 but I cannot see any where on the screen the 'New Custom User Title'. Could this be down to the browser I am using. I am on a MAC using Safari, or am I just being blind? I have attached a screen grab for you to view I hope you can work it out.

My poor explanation John - have amended step 3 above

[Gandalf1953]

Sorry Peter, I still cannot see the box you are talking about. Could it be that it is not showing on my profile as I am a Junior Member? Please view my screen grab I sent you.

Looking at the screen grab again I notice that you don't have the Click on 'New Custom User Title' option in the right hand column. I don't know the reason for this unless a certain number of posts are required before it becomes available. Sorry I don't have any solution to offer.

Yes, I think you have the answer there; I can't recall what my status was when I changed my custom user title - perhaps 'member' not junior member.

Thank you Peter for taking the trouble to find a solution for me, I'll sit tight until I am a full member
