Went to FAQ section for "customer user title"
If the administrator has enabled custom status titles, then you can specify the text you want to display by editing your profile and entering the text you want in the Custom User Text field.
Apparently I must not be one of the chosen ones as all I have after I enter the "Edit Profile" choice is:
Registration Required Information - All fields are required.
Email & Password
Optional Information - All information will be viewable by other forum members.
Date of Birth
