I would imagine this is on a back-end change gone wrong, but after a recent post, I had 11 titles unlock at once.
Whoops!
I believe this isn't a bug but rather you currently unlock a bunch of titles for 10 posts. I imagine some titles will disappear over time as they allocate different earning methods.
Ohh so that's how you earn titles. I keep seeing all the cool ones and I was wondering how they were earned.

My name, is Balthazaar Cage! Savior of Ravenscrest, defender of the light, reincarnated chosen one of the gods, rightful ruler of all that can be seen and half of that which is unseen. If that's to long you may simply refer to me as "Sorcerer Supreme."
Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination. I will protect those who cannot protect themselves, I will protect even those I hate so long as it is right.
This is by design, as you level up with posts, you unlock the title for each class. So you can pick the one for the class you like.
As some of the replies in this thread demonstrate, that gets to be a bit crazy in the notifications tray.
I'd like to suggest a site change that lumps them into one single notification. "You leveled up! Check your profile for new title options!" Only with better words from one of your forum professionals ;)
The notifications can get pretty crazy, especially if you are already getting a decent number of notifications from actual post replies and such. Earlier mine said something like 19 notifications when I had just gotten done checking out the last 7 I'd received, and I thought something had broken until I went and saw that 11 of them were new titles.
What else I'd like to say about the titles is that I'm glad I can choose my own. Another forum I used had titles, but they were set and once you got the next one you couldn't go back, and I ended up with more than a few times where I felt the new title was less cool than one of the prior ones I'd had.
So that's how the title system works! To cut down on the title notifications (if they are as bad as they say they are), you could just separate those into their own area of notifications. Perhaps you only get one notification no matter how many show up at one time? Or just have people be able to ignore those alerts?
Got the title Adventurer when I posted the first tile. But I have to search for this thread to see how to unlock other titles.

Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, "No. You move."

Just want to ensure this was an overall effect and not secluded to myself.

lol Screenshot? I'm really curious to know what they're called.

I do stuff, sometimes.
Acolyte
Aspirant
Veteran
Gallant
Runner
Prestidigitator
Rogue
Bravo
Novice
Rhymer
Horseman
Adventurer
I found it odd to receive "Novice" and "Veteran" simultaneously.

I'm not sure it directly correlates. Some of these seem like backgrounds.
They are the old level titles from AD&D: http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~leirbakk/rpg/adnd/classesandkits/level.html
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.
Excellent! Just came here to see what happened. Not that I wasn't terribly flattered by all the attention ;)
What I have unlocked so far:
(Perfect)
Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination. I will protect those who cannot protect themselves, I will protect even those I hate so long as it is right.

Might be kind of fun if we were allowed to pick a 'favored class' in our profiles, and the new titles unlocked would prioritize that option.
For example if you picked Wizard, "Congratulations Novice Mage! You have unlocked these titles"

I always liked the class titles by level in AD&D; It was a pleasant surprise to see that they are being used in this manner.

I just saw the titles today while checking my settings. This is pretty cool, bummer I'm not much of a forum poster haha
I thought I had somehow accomplished 11 different benchmarks for different titles at the same time, this makes more sense now.
