Ridiculously stupid question

[Hemlock_Conium 47]

Okay, don't glare at me for this, but how does one get different gray text ABOVE the icon?

 

Is it a group thing?

 

I just don't know /)n(\

It's a feature one gets when donating/subscribing to the forum upkeep funds. 

 

Relevant FAQ: What do I get for donating?

You mean the usertitles? It is only available to donors, not normal members, sorry!

The only reason normal members (Such as I!) have it above their avatars is because special events happen where you can actually change it.

For example:

- On MLP Forums anniversary in October (Or something) last year, everyone was given donor perks, so you could change your grey text.

- Due to the 'Making Christmas Merrier' donation pool, one of the prizes was everybody getting donor perks, so normal members could, again, change their grey text.

Hope this clears up confusion! If you want to change your grey text, look towards donating or waiting for a special event.

you have to be a subscriber to the forum to be able to change that. just go to the home page and you'll see 'subscribe!' in big white letters next to 'help'
