As well as the usual generic MSN and AIM fields, how about fields for Wii and Xbox Live?
Or even custom fields to choose our own contact detail types? |

Or let us make our own profile fields!
Or better yet, use the Bio field for everything else! I like this idea better. ____________________ I like gay porn. It's hot |

If we're going to have AIM fields, why not the other IMs too, like MSN, Yahoo, etc... ____________________ I like gay porn. It's hot |

Posted by Imajin I like the Wii/XBox idea, that's kind of neat. Though probably more of a novelty than anything else. (Since we already have a thread dedicated to listing these, and not everyone would make use of these extra fields in their profiles.) |

Bumping this thread for emphasis. I was just about to make a thread about this, good thing I decided to look back. =P
But yeah - AIM/MSN/YIM/Skype/etc would be nice to see coming back sometime soon. You might even be able to add the generic links for instant IMs (aim:goim?screename=*insert SN here*), and the like. But erm, yeah. =P ____________________

Posted by KyarguPosted by Tyrfing I don't, though. It was a formal field before, and I see no reason for it not to be a formal field now. It's not like it's hard to implement, and, like I said above, you could add the auto-IM actions to the fields as links, or something... (plus Skype used to have an online indicator on the old board) ____________________

They'll be coming back eventually. I'm actually wondering how hard adding some icons to post areas would be (AIM, MSN, etc).
* Xkeeper cracks neck Probably not too difficult, but eh. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Flurry #&postrank& - AIM
- - ICQ - Y!M - Skype - imood (if anyone still uses that) - Wii - XBox Live - a few dozen DS/Wii games while you're at it That's going to be a lot of fields (most of which would be useless to most) if you include everything I'd either leave it all in the bio or try implementing it in a way that won't add a dozen fields everywhere ... ____________________ |

Posted by Acmlm Maybe have the software hide any empty fields on the profile page? |

We could allow for many types of contact information without cluttering up the profile pages, the edit profile/edit user pages, or the users table. There could be a table for contact classes and a table for contacts. The contact class table would have columns for the name of the type of contact (eg. website, email, etc), a template for displying the contact to be processed through a text replacement (eg. '<a href="$CONTACT_STRING_SAFE$">$CONTACT_STRING_SAFE$<a>' for a website), some instructions for users adding contacts, and perhaps additional stuff. The contacts table would have columns for the user id the contact belongs to, the class id of the contact, the contact content, an access level(eg. everyone, regestered users, registered users not banned, or staff only), and perhaps additional stuff.
For example, to display the contact in profiles something like this could be done(edit to adapt): if ($log) { EDIT: fixed a bug in the example code |

Birthdate can't go back farther than the age of the universe or "December 14th, 1901". What if I happened to be older then that huh? Clearly a misrepresentation of my age you whippersnapper.

Do you really think we have anyone here older than 106?
In my experience, anyone over about 60 who is introduced to computers stubbornly refuses to use them. |

I've also seen people put a birthday like "December 31, 2073" or something like that before |

Yeah, well a lot of people put humourous things in their profile, especially the location field. I think Acmlm once put a fraction into a year field so his age would be 3.14 (an approximation of pi). Of course, the next year it would become 4.14, and why would a year field be floating point anyway? |
