Three new profile fields

[TMF Jeff]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those who gave suggestions when I was looking for new profile fields. I only used three of them because I don't want the profiles themselves, or the form for creating one, to become too much of an overload.

The three new options are:

'ler, 'lee, or both

in a word

and

ticklish spots


Please let me know if you spot any errors in the way the forms work, this is the first time I've added new fields, or spelling mistakes or other glitches.

And feel free to make any new suggestions as they occur to you.

Thanks!

Dear Jeff,

I was discussing this post munch at my Church BBQ, there are lees and lers, but what do we say for the switches. "Both" should do nicely.

Warmest Regards,

Stephanie Locke

p.s. I've tried to edit my profile so I could recieve private messages, any advice?

I thought "both" was adequate, at least in the context of "ler" and "lee". As a standalone it still leaves a lot to be desired I think, so in that sense the search probably continues.

To enable PM's go to User CP at the top of the page, then "edit options."
About a third of the way down the page you'll see "messaging options" and in that category are the private messaging options, including the one to enable them.

Oh, Oh! Can I be one your alter boys?

 

[StephanieLocke]

Dear Jeff,

Thanks for the advice. I went in and disabled my invisible function and perhaps that will help as well. My profile now proudly lists me as a "ler".

T-spot...I am an altar girl...you would have to be really perfect or I would tickle you mercilessly after each mass.

My pleasure.

I thought your "in a word" choice was inspired.

(sniff) I promised myself I wasn't going to cry. You had me at "mercilessly".

Woo Hoo! Good choices, Jeff! I've updated my profile, too!

Mimi 😀

Nice additions, Jeff. I'm curious to see how some of the folks will populate the "In a Word" field. I'm hoping folks choose something other than "ticklish," "tickler," etc. 😉

 

[Red_Feather]

Nice little change. Especially the tickle spot listing. I've bravely (or foolishly 🙂 ) listed mine down as well. 😀

And the 'In a word' field a unique little touch. Nice work 🙂

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Neat little additions, Sir Jeff! Edited, they have been.

 

[tommytikl]

I updated my profile...I wonder who else has??

Not as many people as should 🙂

member profile update suggestion

Is there any way you can create a pop-up message for those members with the "in a word" field (or other field if desirable) left blank, so that when they log-in to the board the message reminds them to update their profile?

 

[TMF Jeff]

It could probably be done, but not easily, and I don't really see that as a desirable option... why would that be a good thing to do?

 

[gr369]

You got a point. It would be useful as a one-time reminder where the member could check a box so that the message would not recur on future logins.
Just thinking of ways to remind folks to enhance their profiles.

 

[TMF Jeff]

I would love it if more people took advantage of profiles, which is why I made this sticky. But the thing is that in order to customize the forum that way we'd have to program the php code, which is kind of risky and a pain in the neck to do. Adding new profile fields was a simple operation by comparison, because vbulletin, our forum software, is built to do that already.

I'm updated....cutie...

Dear Jeff,
I've just returned from International Ms. Leather in Omaha, Nebraska and this is my first chance in forever for visit your wonderful site. Thank you so, so much for your compliment, it made me go visit my profile to remember what I'd written.

Usually, I say "Expert", somehow, "Capable" felt even better.

Stephanie

Good girl 🙂

 

[njjen3953]

i know i don't hang out here much any more, but do pop in from time to time. i wanted to say that i too updated my profile.

 

[RobAce]

Good additions, wish everyone would use them

I agree Jeff, those additions are great. Give a little more info without giving up too much. Just wish more people would take advantage of using their profiles, I know Ill be updating mine. It makes starting a conversation sometimes a little easier, although the hunt sometimes is as good as the capture, if you all know what Im saying.

Thats just my dollar and 2 cents worth

and the trickle becomes a flood... well at least a larger trickle then. 🙂
