Now that in profiles 'registered' has been renamed to 'joined',

That would be a great suggestion if Register is renamed to Join.

Re: Now that in profiles 'registered' has been renamed to 'joined',

Literally every website calls it register, as it's pretty much the only word that can't be confused for anything else, join could have a lot of other meanings, so might confuse some people
Also I would probably change the title to 'Change registered to joined' as this hasn't already happened. Edit: I misunderstood what he was saying had already been renamed

Why would it be a 'great suggestion'?

I think it's a fairly frivolous one, nobody past 13 should be unfamiliar with the term 'register'.
It's as destroyer pointed out, a widely used term synonymous with the intent of 'join'.

Oooooohhh... As the title was saying it has already renamed and the image is of the navigation bar, I was assuming that you meant the nav bar registered has been renamed to joined
In that case you should probably change the first sentence to "Now that in profiles 'registered' has been renamed to 'joined', this might be a good suggestion"

God I had to read this topic like 3 times to understand wtf the suggestion actually was

Anyway I guess consistency would be good. Personally I'd rather just change "Joined:" back to "Registered:"
