Large Forum Edit Update

[Dan]

I worked all day for you guys, and I've got some changes to report.

Please read this thread thoroughly before asking any questions or making any comments.

Big Changes

• Changed "Inbox" on User Menu to "Inbox and Controls" -- This is your new haven for editing all your custom profile fields that will display next to your posts. Go here, and then click "Edit Profile" and mostly everything there now will not conflict with your main information and will display next to your posts.
• Tidied up Inbox and Controls options -- There used to be some things in there that would conflict badly with the information you registered with, like your avatar. That has all been cleared up and shouldn't be a problem anymore. All bugs have been cleared.
• Allowed use of Personal Photo for Contact Card -- In your Inbox and Controls, you will find "Change Personal Photo" where you can upload a picture of yourself (or your avatar again) to show in a contact card which is accessible in a link under each of your posts.
• Added 3 Custom Fields: Gender, Location, and Custom Title -- All accessible under the Inbox and Controls menu under Edit Profile.
• Changed composition of post entry's user information -- Things are reordered a bit. Nothing major. Although during the next half hour I'm going to try and change the color of the gender to Blue if Male, and Pink if Female.
• You can access and edit your Signature and Avatar from both the Inbox and Controls menu and the View Account page. It's all reorganized. There's no more "Maze" to get to editing your Avatar and Signature.

Small Changes

• An Administrators name will be seen in Red color in the "online list" and I am considering also doing this in threads -- The opportunity rose so I did it. I'm currently contemplating changing my name in every post I make Red to indicate that I am admin, but perhaps the Red Rank image is enough.
• A Moderators name will be seen in Green color in the "online list" and I am considering also doing this in threads. -- Same as above..

So, that's it. I hope you enjoy it! Any questions, comments, or anything else for that matter are welcome here in this thread.

Let 'er rip! (BTW, assault, you can finally let go! )

So ya.....

Maybe it's just cause I'm a moderator, but I'm seeing the gender as a code, not a title.

Edit: Well fancy that, I post this and it goes away.

Hehe, yeah. I was fiddling with it. I'm trying to get the "male" text to be blue and the "female" text to be pink. I forgot how to compare in this feeble php. Should be done soon though with a little bit of research.

EDIT: If you see any code, don't be scared, I'm just trying things.

AWESOME, nice updates dan, you rule..

yeah I cant really see new threads so I never know where a new topic is. For some reason the new reply on the main page is always dark or whatever. So i porbably didnt notice it.

*lets go*

Really great to hear. I'm off to change them for myself now.

Good stuff, Dan.
