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.

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. :/

The Fifth Horseman · « **Reply #5 on:** July 22, 2014, 09:42:03 PM »

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 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 30, 2014, 02:31:44 AM »

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.

Of course I'm still a nOOb.

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

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.

I stole Codewalker's boxes.

Paragon Avenger · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2015, 10:19:25 AM »

Ok, I decided to go with one blue star.

ParagonLurker · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2015, 10:35:32 PM »

It's a little confusing, because when you change something, all the posts change.
So, it is a bit difficult to follow your meaning, PA.

Paragon Avenger · « **Reply #25 on:** March 22, 2015, 07:50:39 AM »

Ok, yeah, sorry.
For a very short while, I had CodeWalker three rows of boxes as my Avitar.
On Codewalker, it looks cool, because if you use the default theme, most people do, then it looks like he has 4 rows of different colored boxes. It is very cool.
I decided that the boxes were his look, not mine.
So, I changed to a single blue star, which is very unique.
And then one of the mods, TonyV I think, gave me my circles and triangles.
Thanks Tony!
So, I am unique. And if you really got to know me then you would say, "He ought to be locked up somewhere" or perhaps "Yes, he is very unique."

We are the noobs!
Yes, we have played other games before, we don't need some punk to tell us to take a travel power at level 14. We don't need somebody telling us to come to Skyway City, we know where the AE building is. We don't have time for silly task forces, we're too busy farming 'Death From Below'. Now where do we buy piston boots and how much do they improve our stats?

In a darkened room illuminated only by the glow of an LCD computer monitor, he sat in front of his computer desk. With the ever present hum of the computer's cooling fans buzzing in the background, he manipulated the keyboard controls to cause his on-screen character to act. The action was intense. The character did as commanded by the keyboard. The character lost the battle. He didn't like to lose. He hated losing. He clasped his hands together and with one mighty blow after another, delivered to the keyboard his objections to losing. The keyboard hopped with each blow. It's legs broken and key buttons popping off, it took the beating. After a short while, the pain and the blood made him stop. A jagged piece of plastic had embedded itself into his left hand. It seems that the keyboard had fought back. He hands aching and bleeding he called out to his roommate. Taking one look at the dead character on the screen, the broken keyboard, and his roommate's bloody hands, Steve couldn't help uttering those 3 dreaded words. "What a noob!"
