This current Profile Page tweak is ONLY 100% functional on the Satellite Fixed style. It will be added to the rest of the display styles as soon as the tweak is finalized.

Benefits are:
enter in more background info in the About Me section
enter in your Myspace.com profile link
enter in your ModelMayhem.com profile link
enter in your One ModelPlace.com profile link
enter in your SportsShooter.com profile link
enter in gender
enter in what equipment you use in the Photo Gear section
direct link to user’s gallery is listed
recent submissions to the gallery are shown and linked
display how many profile views you’ve gotten

Items I am currently working on include:
getting Hello Messenger links integrated with forum (similar to AIM)
getting total photo count info working correctly
adding Ignore User link
adding a couple of more fields for main Information section *DONE* 12/22
joining left hand column so there is no wasted space under username *DONE* 12/22
direct links to profile ie: http://www.TexasPhotoForum.com/abel
reinsert Average Posts Per Day information *DONE* 12/22
apply changes to Satellite Liquid and Default styles *DONE* 12/23
Latest User Profile Changes added to main forum page *DONE* 1/5

Old Look

New and Improved Look:

Here’s a link to my profile if you would like to give it a look over and see the different features:

Also, if you guys have any suggestions on items that you may like to include, post them here and I will see if it is something I can add as well.

Thanks.

Looks and sounds good. The features you are looking into will be good. You da' man!

Abel · 12-21-2005, 09:51 AM

thanks...

Also, I am using IE 6 so if anyone has a different browser lemme know if it displays correctly...

Browser Compatibility <-- That's one thing I have not checked!

Thanks

Abel, great new look! I do miss the average posts per day from the old profile though.

Abel · 12-21-2005, 09:56 AM

added one more thing to the list of items i'm working on

direct links to profile ie: http://www.TexasPhotoForum.com/abel

this will help some members have their own website so to speak if they dont have a place of their own. they can give out that link and it will take them to their Profile Page here on the forum.

easier to give out that link than to give out:

Man, we're getting uptown around here

That's a huge improvement on profiles and mine needs more imrovement than anybody. Never see that on any other forums. Good job!

Abel, you know you can take a break on Christmas.

engstrom · 12-21-2005, 10:58 AM

Abel, by the way, I LOVE the picture that's used if you don't have a profile picture.

Abel · 12-21-2005, 11:02 AM

yea ive already gotten a couple of PMs in regards to that image.. heehee.

its the only photo of a camera i had on my pc and i was crunched on time so i used it.

oh well. i may change it once the tweak is completed
