We are the noobs

[Paragon Avenger]

Yes, finally a topic for the rest of us.
For the purpose of this topic the word noob means a newbee.  It doesn't mean a fool who won't listen and learn.
Maybe it's because I'm using an android phone to post, but I can't seem to change my username.  So my posts are under an email address.  Also, I can't find a place to ask for help.  I'm such a noob. :D

[Paragon Avenger]

Woowhoo.
I got 2 bars.
I'm like one of them experts.
Ask me anything about forums.
I know it all

The difference between newbie and a noob is like between the sharp and blunt end of a knife. The former deserves being helped. The latter deserves judicious application of  LART.

The global can be set in your Titan account settings: http://www.cohtitan.com/manage
You cannot make a post under a different handle than your global.

Hmm - weird; maybe my account's broken. I clicked the link and logged in. Neither the "email" nor "global handle" line says "Super Firebug", so I'm posting under a name different from my global. In fact, "Super Firebug" doesn't appear anywhere on the page. :/

 :o I was pretty sure I remembered changing it there.
The only other alternative is to very, very politely get the attention of an admin. :)

That's funny.
Yes, and kind of the point of this topic.
Thanks for playing along.

I now have 3 bars, if there's something I don't know about this forum, it ain't worth me knowing.

[Paragon Avenger]

You know what, I'm thinking maybe I don't want to change my screen name.
Maybe I like going by first name last initial and some random numbers.
Johng736 that's me.

[Paragon Avenger]

Ha ha, I got 4 bars now.
I'm a boss.
You gotta do as I say.
You over there, yeah you, breathe.
You have to cause I am the Boss!
<evil laugh />

P.S. there should be an HTML evil laugh tag.

[Paragon Avenger]

In your elbow!
I'm now an elite boss.
That's right, not some smelly simple minded boss.
No sir!
I'm elite now!

Of course I'm still a nOOb.

[Paragon Avenger]

Over 400 posts, and I still ain't said nothing.

[Paragon Avenger]

239 for Task Force
614 for the original
562 for SFD Returns

Well, you did SOMETHING right cuz after clicking that link you actually posted as Super Firebug. See it up above my quote?

[Paragon Avenger]

Flo, don't talk to the bug.

[Paragon Avenger]

It's good to be the noob.

[Paragon Avenger]

I am such a noob.
--How much of a noob are you?
I am such a noob, I thought Death From Below was about submarines.

[Paragon Avenger]

I'm such a noob.
--How much of a noob are you?
I'm such a noob, I thought Atlas Park was the only zone.

I am such a noob, I had to ask for help to get my global name changed.

[Felderburg]

Just gonna throw it out there that my global, on the main CoH Titan Network account management page linked above, is my global from the game itself. It is different from my forum Username, which can be seen in the profile section, and appears to be unchangeable except by admin powers.
