Ignoring Custom Titles

[mawby]

Ok, here's the problem. Using paid subscriptions, a member pays their membership fee and gets moved into a "Members" group which amongst other things allows the user to have a custom title. When their membership expires they get moved into an "Expired" group. This "Expired" group does not allow custom user titles, and has a user title of "Expired" so our members can easily see what's going on. However, if a custom title was created for the user whilst in the "Members" group, this custom title is still shown when they get moved into the "Expired" group, even though custom titles are turned off for that group.

I contacted vbb about it and they said it wasn't a bug, but it was an oversight, and suggested I ask here for some help with it.

I don't want the custom titles cleared, but rather have it so that if the user is in a group that doesn't allow custom titles then any custom title will be ignored. That way when they pay their membership again their previous custom title comes back.

Can anyone help?
