Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 1:04PM We have a new login/logout mechanism and completely rewritten profile system. To see your profile click the Profile link near the top of the page. Post questions, comments, bug reports here. [Link]
Harri Patel Senior Member #SDNY he's all yours. -- Michael Steele 5110 Posts 3/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:01PM The "location" field in the General tab on my profile is showing something that I was using ~ a month ago. It is not what is actually showing up in my posts. [Link]
test user Deactivated User This is an Avatar Quote 9 Posts 8/06	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:02PM Then update it. [Link]
conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:03PM Is there a spot to click to see other users profiles (I may just be missing it) or do I have to enter their URL? [Link]
test user Deactivated User This is an Avatar Quote 9 Posts 8/06	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:05PM Click the profile Icon for the moment (just above a user's post.) You can also click their name in the member list. In about 30 minutes you'll be able to click their name and avatar on the left of each post to get to a user's profile. [Link]

conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:07PM Thank you. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:13PM Nice to see you using the new stuff conquistador. [Link]
conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:17PM I think it's a definite improvement, especially allowing people to post links and such. I'm sure we'll become aware of more members who have interesting blogs, and so on. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:21PM We have lots more in the works. This profile thingy is just a basic framework for us to tie together all of the community aspects of the site. We'll start connecting lots of different data bits from our reviews, price search and forum databases to user's profiles. A profile will begin to take on much more significance than just being some basic forum background info. Think along the lines of myspace meets flickr with a few other really cool (and unique) features. [Link]
conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:27PM Though I do appreciate the work you are putting into the profile system, the main reason I check out this board will still be for people's posts. Also are profiles subject to any sort of "moderation"? How? I see the potential for some extremely offensive profiles. (I'm sure you have thought of this already when you were designing it, it's just the first time I've seen the system and thought over the possibilities) EDIT:spelling was goofy Edited by - conquistador on 5/1/2007 2:28:10 PM [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:51PM Yes, we have the ability and systems to moderate people's profiles. I don't haven't really thought of any new guidelines that should apply to profiles that don't already apply to the forum. I'm sure we'll update the forum etiquette to be a site-wide etiquette document at some point in the near future. That being said, I do not intend to actively police the written content or links of member's profiles. We also do not intend to expand moderator's responsibilities to cover profiles. We will be adding photo/image moderators at some point soon. These folks will be responsible for keeping a general eye on the images that get uploaded to our servers. This is a signature [Link]
Everett Senior Member 2088 Posts 6/05	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:54PM I've just experienced it Drew. I was on this morning and logged in using the old system. Then came back after lunch and what to my wonder as the saying goes. But neato! [Link]
conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:56PM Thanks. I guess what I mean is more a question of abuse then offensive content. Could I (for example) post link to a bit torrent file of a full version of a copyrighted DVD without getting booted off the system? (not something I would do, but allowing personal links allows for lots of P2P activity, I would think) I'm not trying to pester you about security, I'm just curious. [Link]
Everett Senior Member 2088 Posts 6/05	Posted - May 1 2007 : 2:56PM and the lettering on our user names now in blue instead of black. hmmm! [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:00PM Is blue a color of significance? [Link]

Everett Senior Member 2088 Posts 6/05	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:16PM now that you ask, yes. It's my favorite color. [Link]
Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:23PM Nice system, but I can't see my current avatar quote. It does show up though. The links under contact on the public page are not all working, the myspace link goes to https://www.adultdvdtalk.com/http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emyspace%2Ecom%2Fjacc0, icq goes to https://www.adultdvdtalk.com/icq and msn to https://www.adultdvdtalk.com/msn Jacco Edited by - jacco on 5/1/2007 3:25:36 PM [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:27PM In the new system there are two fields: one is for location and one is the avatar quote. I did not take a snapshot of the latest data prior to putting the new profiles live. So there may be some small discrepancies like these. [Link]

conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:31PM Jacco's myspace link does not work. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:34PM Just fixed that. Looks like I have a problem with ICQ and MSN links too. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:35PM I removed the ICQ and MSN links temporarily until I can get the correct linking formats for them. [Link]
Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:40PM Damn, there is an "About" section, I never know what to put in there. The Yahoo link updates nicely when I am online. Is there a setting for how many recent posts you see when you click on somebody's profile? All in all, nice work Drew! Jacco [Link]
Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:41PM Hmm, my avatar quote keeps disappearing. Jacco [Link]
Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04	Posted - May 1 2007 : 3:43PM Question: I never log out, is it wise to logout once and login again with the new system? Jacco [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 4:05PM The avatar quote issue should be fixed. The logging in and out uses the same code base that's been around since early January. It shouldn't make a difference. BTW, the ICQ link is in but I still have to figure out the MSN messenger format. [Link]
lukemason Member 697 Posts 8/04	Posted - May 1 2007 : 4:22PM looks good man [Link]
Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04	Posted - May 1 2007 : 4:31PM MSN is something like [a href="msnim:chat?contact=me@example.com "]Click to chat![/a] with < for the [ of course. It only works if you use the official MSN messenger, which I don't have, so I can't test it. (don't we have a code tag, to post stuff like this?) Jacco Edited by - jacco on 5/1/2007 4:32:57 PM [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 1 2007 : 5:11PM The code tag doesn't work :( I see MSN has a Web Message and Windows Live Messenger. I need to read up on the two. It's all new to me. [Link]
jayo All-Star Member 2117 Posts 7/04	Posted - May 1 2007 : 10:20PM Good going! [Link]
Walter All-Star Member 1445 Posts 3/05	Posted - May 1 2007 : 10:24PM Nevermind. Edited by - Walter on 5/1/2007 10:34:41 PM [Link]
Bandit One Deactivated User No Place That Far 612 Posts 9/02	Posted - May 1 2007 : 10:36PM Awesome work, Drew. Lookin' sharp. [Link]
Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01	Posted - May 1 2007 : 11:23PM The location field doesn't appear to be showing up. [Link]
Harri Patel Senior Member #SDNY he's all yours. -- Michael Steele 5110 Posts 3/03	Posted - May 1 2007 : 11:43PM Use the "Avatar quote" box (further down the page, under the line that lets you specify the number of posts per page you want) to do what you used to use the "location" field for. [Link]
RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06	Posted - May 1 2007 : 11:58PM Drew: We have lots more in the works. This profile thingy is just a basic framework for us to tie together all of the community aspects of the site.

Don't be discouraged if people don't start using all of it right away. Often, it takes people a while to really appreciate and start to use all the tools at their disposal. People have been used to the limitations of the way things were for a long time so they might not think about certain things that will be readily available. But speaking for myself, I appreciate the work you're putting into this. [Link]

Porn Scout Deactivated User 3735 Posts 10/02	Posted - May 2 2007 : 12:42AM Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but the Reply with a quote option seems to have disappeared. [Link]
Porn Scout Deactivated User 3735 Posts 10/02	Posted - May 2 2007 : 1:17AM Never mind. I saw the other thread. Thanks. [Link]
ma meeshka Iconoclastic Member 3939 Posts 4/06	Posted - May 2 2007 : 7:23AM okay, so i made my profile private--because i'm like that--and when i clicked my avatar even i couldn't look at it. i had to request to. so, then i approved the request and i STILL can't look at it. it asks me to request it again. also, are you actually allowed to change your display name? because i can't do it. does it change for your posts? or only in your profile? [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 2 2007 : 8:09AM ...when i clicked my avatar even i couldn't look at it. i had to request to. so, then i approved the request and i STILL can't look at it. it asks me to request it again. Click to expand This sounds like a bug. I'll check it later this morning. You should also be able to change you display name, but only for profiles at the moment. It doesn't change in the forum. [Link]
Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04	Posted - May 2 2007 : 12:02PM When I go to your profile, Drew and click on 'about' I get an error. Jacco [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 2 2007 : 12:08PM I've been working on some stuff. These kinds of errors will happen periodically while I post changes back and forth from our development server to the production site. They should usually only last 5 minutes or so unless I really screwed something up. [Link]
Jacco All-Star Member "liable to deprave and corrupt" 2673 Posts 5/04	Posted - May 2 2007 : 2:06PM Are we going to get those new smilies in the forum? Jacco [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 2 2007 : 6:43PM Yes, but most likely not until the end of June. I have to rewrite a big chunk of the forum code and the new smilies/BBCode will be part of it. In the process I'll need to write something that converts all of the old forum posts to the new format. There's quite a bit involved but it will be much easier to add forum features when that's complete. [Link]
