Your user profile pages are currently not displaying correctly - I am aware of this. A temporary fix was put in place to work around an internet explorer issue... the profile pages will be fixed as soon as possible.

Some of the additional features are reserved for Premium Members.

I know some people dont like change... but I'm interested to hear your feedback all the same

Some additional modifications will apper over the next few days.

Details of 'most' of these features can be found in the FAQ SECTION

One thing i really miss is when it goes yellow when i have private messages

Luke · 26th July 2008, 19:42

The yellow bit should come back as I'm sure it did it last time.

Its not gone.. its just temporarily hiding.. will be on full display again shortly

Mark's fixing the user profile display issues now also.

Jacko · 26th July 2008, 23:51

for sure get pager back...not sure what the whole profile thing is about yet though..

Simo^p · 27th July 2008, 00:06

Yellow box is back...

Pager icon at left of posts is back... link in profiles will return when the user profile page is fixed.

Pager text area is bigger too to stop you pager-whores from having to scroll so much

I'm not overly fond on the Convo bit on the profile, would be better if that was there, but so others can't see... Sorta like a genral chat thing..?

Yeah, think it would be better to keep it private instead of public. Or should give you the option of choosing to allow anyone to see it / contacts(friends) / just you.

That would probably be the best option

If its to be private use the PM system.

If its public use the forums or the profile messages.

If you want it to be off the forum and only for select members.. then create a social group and invite your friends to join it. Then only people within 'your' group can leave messages...

Within your userCP (edit option) you can set it so only people within your contacts (buddy's/friends) can leave messages on your prfile screen.

"Limit usage of Visitor Messages to Contacts and Moderators"

Premium Memebrs can create their own social groups.... treat this like a circle of friends.. so you may have regional group , or people who have "1.5D saxos', or "stripped out racers" groups, etc, etc.

You need to play with it to understand it... so far, im the only person to create a social group.

Very true.

Seems like a good update from what i've seen of it so far

Need to update the banner to v3.7, as someone already mentioned though... guessing it will only be a minute or two job if you still have PSD file?

Payney · 27th July 2008, 00:50

I guess it's just time to get used to it and get to see how it works, as for a general thing with the messages via asking questions or what not, could that not just be posted as a thread?

I'm sure it will come in handy somewhere along the line lol.

potatopete · 27th July 2008, 01:40

I love the look of the new Profile page.

potatopete · 27th July 2008, 01:48

What's the change with the list of Reputation Received, Simo?

Some reps are now marked with "N/A" where the thread title would have been, and I'm positive some rep has appeared which wasn't there before the update - one of them is dated April 08, so hasn't just been left recently.

I dont see any issues with your when I look in the admin part... can you quote a post number of rep comment or something??
