Profile pages on East Dulwich Forum

[beatnic]

Not sure if this has been talked about before - a quick search for "settings" and "preferences" didn't bring anything back so guessing not.

What do people think about being able to put more info on our profile pages e.g. a photo if we wanted, link to blog or other sites we have and so on.

Also I've seen on other discussion boards you can also see the last x number of posts form that person on their profile page, which I find another quite handy way of navigating around.

I've re-instated the link that says "View all posts by " on the profile page, that shows the all the posts in chronological order which I believe is kind of what you mean.

I can certainly try and add more fields, what do you think:

Blog:

Website:

Photo: (this one might be technically tricky add)

Likes:

Dislikes:

Favourite pub/bar in ED:

Favourite shop in ED:

About me:

let me have some suggestions and I'll see what I can do.

favourite curry house in ED

Maybe some flags as well such as:

johnny come lately/ed original

working class/middle class

but seriously keep it simple I reckon

flickr give a bit of space to elaborate a bit about yourself should you so wish, an avatar and some favourite movies/books/music stuff

Mine is stuffed full of the usual egomaniacal solipsistic stuff which we're probably best avoiding, but scroll down for the normal stuff.

Yeah, shops, pubs, curry houses etc

Adult Friend Finder have a very effective personal profile...

actually I've got to do a Phorum software update first, maybe bank holiday Monday (if it's raining outside) then I'll add some more fields. But yes, keep it simple, I think perhaps 5 fields and then one generic 'About Me' one

I agree that you can get carried away with lots of fields, most of which people won't use.

I would suggest

- an about me (free format text)

- text box for for misc links. For example I might put in

Andrew's Flickr pictures

http://www.morleychamberchoir.org.uk/ Choir I sing in

The latter would cover most of the wierd and wonderful fields people want.
