Once you make your fifth post, your title will become "Traveler" Until then, your title will be "Member". It is a way to see who the new registered users are, and welcome them. Other BB's have different titles for different #'s of posts - the next level could be 25 (or whatever) and once you reach it, you'd receive a new title. We did not want to do that here - the feature is enabled mainly because it gives the title of "unregistered" to unregistered users... Once you reach traveler, that is where you'll stay. This way, it doesn't look like a status symbol.
