Hi Matt, there are many tips here: http://www.ramforumz.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_faq#faq_vb3_user_profile If you can't find your answer here ping me again and I will dig deeper for you. The newbie tagline can be edited once you get to 75 posts, many things here are tied to that threshold. You can also become a supporting member and go straight to a Senior Member.
