User Profiles

[Squid]

Hi guys,

just wanted to make a suggestion and I don't really know if this is possible or if its even been brought up but i got this idea from another forum i was on.

At the moment member profiles are kind of boring (from what I can see) I was wondering if there was a way to make them more interactive, like having members post on each others profile or something?
Or we could edit the colour of our profile and make it more personal?

Then you could hold things like 'most creative profile contests'

anyway, I think having personalised profiles is fun and I just wanted to see what the staff thought

Thank you <3

I think there's a feature like this in the new version of VB. Basically, user profiles are more customizable. As far as posting on someone's profile, you can leave user notes for other members.

So does that mean eventually this site would get the customizable profile in the new version or is it not going to happen?

also I didn't notice the user notes

thnx

You're welcome. =)

And probably not any time soon. We'd have to upgrade to the new version of VB which isn't likely to happen in the near future. So for now we have to work with what we have.

As far as leaving messages on the profile, they're talking about Visitor Messages, which ae the same as usernotes, except they appear right ON the profile. With the new VB update, profiles get a new layout and visitor messages appear right on there, and anyone can view anybody's conversation with each other, not just one at a time back and forth messages.

...but like Tia said, an upgrade is unfortunately not in the near future. I've brought this up many times.

Well usernotes would be better if we had a notification when we get one. Unless you truly like keeping your profile open and refreshing all the time Depends on LG I guess?

I think the newest version of vBulletin is gross.

3.7.X is where it's at.

Would be nice if we could upgrade.

The customization thing sounds neat but, like Tia said, we'd have to upgrade. In my opinion it's not all that big of a deal because I don't pay much attention to that anyways xD

And like everyone said: User notes :3

Yeah, word on the street is that it ain't gonna happen.

who knows, maybe if we all cry and make googly eyes, they'll update.

As far as I know, with all of the custom modifications/hacks etc and past tampering of code it will make an upgrade very difficult to do, a lot of people want it but it's been talked over on numerous occasions with the same outcome.

If LG decides to upgrade then that's his choice, although I personally don't think it's worth all the hassle for a few gimmicky features. Sure, they're nice, but a novelty at best and it's not like we desperately need them.

its ok... I just didn't realise it would be so hard to get custom profiles.

if its something that isn't going to happen then thats ok. I just thought I'd ask

Since this has been answered, I'll go ahead and close this.
