    Hey there is nothing wrong with knowing the palmer-sisters very well. I've had many a night where I was put to sleep by them due to their constant arguements on who would be the one that night!

    I'd get so fed up with them, I'd pass out.

    Thanks Sniper! It's great to know there are posters on this message board who want to help better the system and make it more enjoyable for everyone.

    Although all of our ideas have been shot down in the past, perhaps this one will be taken into consideration.

    [​IMG] Hate to break this to you Modjahed, but you can already do this. Simply write the info you want people to be able to access into your Interests field in your user preferences and everyone will be able to see them. You can put a link to your picture there as well if you want. Or put a link to your picture in the home page field, if you don't actually have a homepage. Because if you did, you could always link to the About Me section on it.

    I'm very surprised that Sylvus, of all people, knows nothing about it. Ah well, goes to show that you can't win them all I suppose. Learn something new every day, eh Syl?

    But just FYI Modjahed, very few people will bother to read that info there. People open topics like this here to start discussions that many participate in and that go way further than simple info you write up and never bother to update.
    The whole point of message boards is to have live discussions going on, not just reading static text like on websites. ;)

    [​IMG] Got you, Tal.

    My point was: I started this thread with a simple idea. Look where it went?

    The topic that was just below was about home countries. Can you calculate, what percent of all post in that thread concerned COUNTRIES? Less than 50%.
    If I want to know, say, the age of Sir Bel (just for instance) I can make a search on the forum and will have to read at least 100 posts that don't interest me that much.

    HOWEVER! I actually received an answer to my question. I am putting the info to my profile right now.
    Follow up, folks! :D

    MAN!!!

    The interests field is too short - it has a length limit.

    Can something be done? (Not that I want to expose myself that much to the outside world, but I still want to put in my music preferences :D)

    Now a stupid question. I do not need a personal site right now. So is it possible to put a small picture somewhere on this site, or it will be clogged up if everyone starts sending in the pictures of themselves?

  14. Lo Guest

    At the time that a new user registers, a new user doesn't feel like writing up all that personal information about themselves and certainly the shorter the form, the better. I usually hate filling in those online forms, so I quite like it the way it is, and there are indeed quite enough fields in your profile to fill.
    Plus don't forget the icq number, those of us who feel like it already put all the interests and hobbies and quotes and whatsnots there all bundled with as much demographic info about u, that most people would not even care for... To me those icq spaces are mostly wasted space, and the same is very likely to happen here.

    Oh I knew about it, but he asked for information people would want to know. The profile that is available has nothing worth of note.

    That is why the suggestions I made and those who wanted to see those suggestions in action are interested in having them happen.

    Sir Belisarius, Lord Bane, Sniper and myself to name a few would love to see a profile with your current age, date of birth with reminder messages when you log into the message board, list of hobbies, top 10 music and movies and other great information at the click of the button.

    The community is looking forward to these changes for the future.

    Well I hope not. That would give us a chance to pester him on his forums.
