In Edit Profile, add a box where people can put their YouTube address. I know people can voluntarily show their YouTube address in their sigs, or in their bio or other options, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add a box where they can put their YouTube address, because a lot of ROM hackers here have a YouTube account where they show off the videos of their hacks, we should make a separate cell specifically for that. Not a bad idea in my opinion, and should be very easy to code it in. Right underneath the contact or personal information. Like this:

We also probs need AIM, Skype, MSN, ICQ, Googletalk, and Yahoo IM fields.



Edit: Also renamed this thread to be more clear.

Didn't we use to have several of those on the older boards?

Edit: yeah, we did back on version 1.61 and 1.8 according to those version's profile pages. AIM and ICQ.

do that many people really have youtubes?

anyway i'd take the suggestion one further and allow for an endless amount of customized fields for the user. Doesn't sound like it'd be too hard to implement, but then neither does editing thread titles.

or you could just add a <br /> after location and write on in yourself, if that still works. Thats what we used to do anyways.

I remember the idea for more contact fields being discussed back in 2007 before Xkeeper left. I suggested a mechanism to allow staff without file system or database access to add new contact types and allow users to add multiple contacts of the same type. Of course, nothing came of any of the discussion, and I'm sure most of the people here know exactly why.

I haven't suggested this before, but I have wondered about adding OpenID support. Specifically, allowing users to use their profile page as an OpenID identifier, and allowing users to verify their web site contacts that are OpenID identifiers. The former is intended as a way to make this site a hub for its members and promote it, and the latter is just a way to provide more trustworthy links.

BTW, I don't have a Youtube account. If I feel the need to post a video, I'll likely use the uploader, possibly in conjunction with the new HTML 5 <video> tag.

EDIT: Previewing my post converted the "&lt;" and "&gt;" into "<" and ">". The text area on the preview reply page needs better escaping.

OpenID would be sex

...oh wait, no it wouldn't. Still it'd be pretty good.
