IP.Board 3.1.0 Dev Update: Profile Customization (II)

[Matt]

We recently blogged about our new profile customization options. I've made a few updates since and wanted to update you on them.

As you may already be aware, we have added Twitter integration into IP.Board 3.1. This enables you to 'connect' your Twitter account to your forum account to share links, status updates and to allow you to use your Twitter photo on the board.

I've taken this a step further and added an option to allow you to import your Twitter background preferences to your profile:

The background preferences (img and color) imported into IP.Board


The preferences control panel

I've also added a few handy links to the Profile Customization control panel. These links allow you to revert all customizations, remove just the background image and load your profile to see the changes:



I've also included a quick way to remove your own customizations while viewing your profile:



And if you are a "Super Moderator", then you remove and remove and disable customizations on any profile you view:



We hope that you enjoy this feature and allowing Twitter to set your background further personalizes your board profile and re-enforces your own personal brand.
