here is my idea:
DATING SECTION.
we all have profiles, pictures (either avatar) or gallery picture can be used....

Lets create dating section (either within the forum or gallery) when members can submit themself for dating.
So when you browse you can see pictures of girls/guys with some basic info like location, age, etc....

And it would have PM feature so you can send somene PM or heart :) and start dating.
so lets say i have a huge board with 1000 members and i have small dating section where my members can find potential love.
i think this is not hard to make.
it would look something like this

and you can click on the photo and see profile and send PM!
let me know what you guys think!

This would be better off as a mod.

Go there and check out the mods sections, if you can't find something to do what you are looking for, then you can post a request for it. Not all boards will want to encourage or permit active date-searching, and that would be a lot of work for a lot of boards that don't want that as their "gimmick".

I will admit that it would be nice to have something like that available, but definitely as an external modification, perhaps even as a completely separate entity that requires only a link from the forums to become integrated.

i think it should be a full feature and not mod.
if u do not like it than just turn off in control panel :D
people lovw to browse profiles and especially people would love to meet someone who shares sames interest (example: websites about pets, fitness, cars...)

I don't think it should be a mod as such as however good they're made they always end up a little below par compared to IPS stuff :P

However, I don't think it should be a standard feature for the reasons Dacity2 stated - perhaps IPS could create an add-on module for this similar to gallery, blogs, TSL etc. - I think it has to be considered at least as useful (far more so in my opinion) than TSL!

Why not have the option of having a members profile picture appear in the Online List obviouly if they have uploaded one in the first place, this image could then be clicked upon which would then take you to their profile page, those without a picture would display a No Image default picture, much like happens now on the profile card.

right that would be an option as well. to have a link and list latest MEMBERS (who have personal picture in profile - so you have option to see members with picture and members without). and in the list would appear
picture from the avatar or personal pic you choose in your profile, location, maybe age.....

so if you like the person you click on profile and see profile info with PM option.

it would be great if you can search that list for location, ZIP code, etc. so basically you
will get a list similar like this

http://www.match.com/search/searchSubmit.a...O=2&lid=1000005

let me know how this can be done? maybe we can send this to developers and ask matt to add in next release. i think match.com and other matching services would go out of business :D

how about a few Ajax Menu's? I like what Matt's done with the My Assistant so maybe some more of the Ajax wouldn't do any harm on IPB at least it dispenses with the page refreshes, which can be a pain in the back side sometimes. More Ajax less refreshes pls

its not true 1%
lets say you have forum about pets and if you have personal ads, people will come more often to see who is in dating section.
or u have a forum about one city in germany (example) you can offer personal ads and people will come to your website more often.....
the potential is huge.

If you're talking about a simple link to view the members profile and a link to send them a PM, features already present in IPB, then just edit the skins.
