Guest Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 A few suggestions for the profile (sorry if these have been suggested before, I searched and did not find:) 1. Add a skype id field. 2. Add a GTalk field. 3. Rename MSN field to Windows Live, as that's what it is now called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Agreed, this has always been suggested and nothing happens. I think it needs to have a few custom ones too where the user can decided what its called, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I know there was talk about this before (nothing official, I don't think) where all of these fields could be customized in a future version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 What I'm looking for is a way to either have a "Profile View" for custom fields instead of having them all be plain text for custom fields. Those above, I'm not sure if I would like because I don't know how many people would use it on my forum. Skype: Don't think any of my members would use it so it would be useless. GTalk: Could be useful as I know plenty of members to have Gmail services. MSN thing doesn't really matter either way as they call it both MSN messenger and Windows Live, most people still know it as MSN anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To append to the suggestion then, as I completely agree with you, hide the profile fields such as these that are not filled out. If it's got content, add it to the profile view. Otherwise, don't.

ReRixo Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I know there was talk about this before (nothing official, I don't think) where all of these fields could be customized in a future version. That being official would be awesome. I'm basically wanting to only have Windows Live of the defaults, and then Xfire and Steam fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rοb Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think the way forward is 100% customization, that way board admins can add/remove such fields as they please. And yes, I agree with hiding them from the Profile View if no data has been entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
