What is your answer?

Some parts of the Profile page aren't up to scratch and the old profile is looking better inch by inch:

  1. Where's the Replies section? I used the Replies section to find out which of my replies as been replied to so that I can catch up with where I am in the scheme of C9 after having not been around for a while.
  2. The Storage tab of false advertisement. When I saw that tab I thought that a dream had come true, that I could store files on C9. But I was wrong. Unless you are expanding the horizons of the Storage tab (you must admit to that here if it is true) you should rename it to settle the confusion.
  3. No sunglasses? What's the point of having the "Watch this thread" feature if we can't share with others what we are watching? Please enable us to see what others are watching via a section on the main Profile page or a tab.

Ah, but when all had seemed to be lost Loadsgood comes and lends a hand. Going back in time he finds this page. Although it has a few UI Design issues in the current world, it does give us back the profile page of old with the functionality we love, while allowing us to stick with the new style (scroll to the right on that page to see the old usability with the new style). Isn't that fantastic? Smiley

So enjoy the old clashing with the new while it lasts, before the C9Team decide that we've had too much fun, and they take it away from us [6]


Please fix the current Profile page with the functions of the old one.

I really think my idea for a generic information store for each user was good... Like tagging but you invent the tag and the content of it e.g.

Name - Content
E-Mail Address - Someone@12345.com
AIM - Joe
Steam Name - Joe202
X-Box Account - Joe30033
Anything - Anything
etc

The user creates *ANY* named area they want and then fills it with information... For example I don't have an X-Box but Johnathan has, he might want a 360 profile name to his C9 account.. I won't.

The name of the content would be one line long, and so would the information it holds.

User profiles could have a couple of "constant" tags/information areas such as e-mail, and MSN address that have their own icons (Like it is today)... And then lots of custom ones (The constant ones can't be removed, just made blank).

You would need to set a max limit of information tags one could add to a profile, but ten with a 128 character limit (128 * 2) wouldn't use up that much database space.

*The content in the example above is all fake, if you want to contact me for real please use my profile.
