Official NamePros Suggestions - Part IV

[Jeff]

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

>> w/ the members thumbnail profile (on left-side of posts)-

vBulletin calls it the postbit.

The "Member Since" date is displayed on the user's main profile. Should we include this in the postbit as well?

 

[Coastalguy]

I think it is a great idea to include "Member Since". Easy way to keep track of anniversary dates and such.

For instance, something like this? :talk:

I like it, thanks for the suggestion Grrilla ... we'll probably incorporate something to this effect when we expand on the "Member Profiles" and also tying them in with the new Marketplace, etc. in June! :tu:
Appreciates.

I would vote "Yes".

Easier and stands out better with the latter/second/bottom one now that I can compare 'em side-by-side, RJ. :tu:
IMHO.

:kickass:

 

[Coastalguy]

I'd like to see Member Since date in bold (and why not the Trader # in bold as well...gives everything a nice clean look).

If it's at the bottom we may be burying our "Online" status a bit. JMHO.

Super quick job RJ!

If avail space and too much clutter is a concern, I would opt for dropping the "HomeSite", which may have outgrown it's need/usefulness. Second to go would be "Namebucks:", in my book.
:bingo:
Added-> Well, to quote Cheech in "Nice Dreams" (I think)
"Holy sheep-s~~t! That was a fast switcheroo. Talk about a responsive staff! Now if we could only get our politicians and bureaucrats to operate like that. :talk:

Agree with the former, disagree on the latter IMHO.
In the end, I like this whole conversation ... to improve the operability (and usefulness) of the "things on the left" (what's it called again, RJ?).

"postbit" (had to go back and look again) Hmmm... I wonder if it's been reggd.:lol:

PS-> I like the whole shabang right in front of me also, Jeff.

 

[Jeff]

LOL ... "Postbit.com" is available, according to Register.com!

:lala:

PS. Me too Mike, and much more to come in the coming weeks ... will make this little teeny adjustment look like pre pre-school, Grrilla.
We're 'gunna crank it up here soon at your #1 Namepros!
:talk:

 

[RJ]

How's it look now?

Giving some consideration to dropping the HomeSite, although I have found it helpful on occasion to know where someone was posting from.

 

[Coastalguy]

Looks great!

Quick question:

Why are there brackets around the Trader rating totals?

[Grrilla]

:tu:
Going bold was a good move. Organizes quickly to the eye.

What about changing the HomeSite to the member's website if they have one? Just a thought.
