Update Custom User title outside /forums?
 

The title is pretty self-explanatory, is it a bitfield? I'm assuming I can't update it via a query?

I'm basically looking to have a field outside forums where they can enter the user title they would like and it updates it with it, would appreciate some help.

Thanks

You mean for members as you can set it so they can change it in usercp

The user title? It is stored in the user table in the usertitle field.

A custom user title? Isn't there just numbers stored in there - which I assume is the id of their previous user title?

As in, if I were to update the usertitle field in the user table field with 'this is my new user title' would that work?

I just edited my user.usertitle field from the database on my test site and it changed my user title on the site.
