Yes sir, when one adds a custom avatar, a custom title is also required. Glad you got it squared away.
Here you can access your avatar, profile pic, and Custom Title (or as we like call it, rank) options.
If you elect to upload a custom avatar, please be sure to Edit Details and add a Custom Title. Otherwise your account will have two avatars, one of which is the stock avatar.
Members may
upgrade their account and choose custom avatars here
