Since the same questions come up every now and then, I thought it would be good to put all this information in one central place!
Themes
Themes are what Proboards calls forum layouts/skins. Whiskerwick has a modest collection of themes for different seasons, holidays, vibes and needs. We cycle through default skins to match the time of year, but you can also set a theme in your profile settings. (Once you've done this, this overwritesthe forum default, so if it rolls over to a new season, you won't see the change - you'll have to adjust manually.)
New themes are added every now and then, as the need arises or inspiration strikes.
To set your theme, go to Profile > Edit > Settings > Forum Theme. Choose a theme from the dropdown list, scroll all the way down, and click Save Profile Settings.
Titles
There are two kinds of titles, both displayed in every member's mini profile: group titles and custom titles. You can display one of each simultaneously.
Group titles reflect your position on the forum. For example, mine is "Mayor". You can have multiple group titles, but only one can be displayed at a time. Group titles are commonly earned by reaching a certain post number, but there are also some for-fun ~secret group titles you get for participating in certain events or activities around the forum.
To set your group title, go to Profile > Edit > Settings > Display Group. Choose a title from the dropdown list, and click Save Profile Settings at the bottom of the page.
Custom titles are personalized, one-of-a-kind titles, each designed by the member flaunting it. For example, mine is "Caresser of Cats", because I love cats, in one of my favorite colors. A fun way to add a personal or creative touch to your forum presence!
Custom titles can only be added by staff. To get a custom title of your own, please refer to the custom title request thread.
