If this already exists I'm sorry. I couldn't find it.

Ok let me see if I can explain this.

I would like to give my users two "paths" to take for user titles. When a user registers I would like them to have to make one of two choices. Depending on their choice will dictate which user title path they will take. The only thing is that I already have about 20 members so a way to have them start on a path at their current post count would also be cool.

If I can explain any better please let me know:)

You could make joinable public usergroups and let them choose a path from there.

Will this allow the two usergroups to have seperate user titles?

Yep just got to add them to the correct usergroups according to post count in the acp.

Ok I can see how the usergroup would work but how do I have them follow a different user title path. When creating the joinable group ot will allow me to assign them a title but not a path. In user titles I don't see a way to create another path.

Thanks for the help:)

Add a new title and you have to select a specific group to assign it too which would be the other path.

But will that title change as they progress in post counts?
So far at vbulletin.com I am being told that there can only be one progression of user titles.

Yep if you keep adding them for each post count you want them to change on.

Like we have here is an example
registering
/ \
group1-title1(0 posts) group2-title1(0 posts)
| \
group1-title2(10 posts) group2-title2(10 posts)

etc etc

I see what your saying, so instead of it working like the default user group title system with the title being updated automatically as their post count increases I would have to manually watch thier post counts and add them myself?

No, goto add a user title now. oh, wait I was thinking about ranks. Well you can make titles with ranks instead and just remove all normal user titles.
