User Profiles - Next Episode

Fri Nov 28, 2008 - User Profiles

I've started* building a user profile section for the site. So far, I have the basic stuff:

- age/gender/country selection
- avatar/picture
- watchlist (so it can be seen by others)
- ability to turn the profile public or private (if public, you'll be able to see other public profiles)

It'd be cool to ~~hear~~ read - what else would you like to see in it?

* - have yet to start :D

A 'wall' to post on?
Link to other profiles section (like myspace/facebook/last.fm)?
Private and Public.. hmm, how about a friend list, so you can choose who can see your profile, and who can't?

comment # 3 by B_U_R_I

Awesome, this would be really cool. The only problem is that the forum profiles and the watchlist profiles aren't linked ....

comment # 4 by Insuborden

Agreed B_U_R_I, if you could fix that first Santah :P

A section to write your own description/bio/blurb of yourself.

A section just for the admin folks to describe their areas of responsibility (or in Ben's case their areas of irresponsibility and general obnoxiousness).

Umm... an area to link to your other fav places on the interwebs?

comment # 6 by karenbear

Email address (that you could also choose to make private even if the rest of your profile is public)

comment # 7 by madboobs

all of the above :D

comment # 8 by Ward

Maybe a recommended shows section, or highlighting the stuff you really like in the watchlist.

comment # 9 by completenutter2

Something that shows how many babes you've rated! (and your average rating)

comment # 10 by Daemonius

Perhaps a place for a real picture of the user, so that there would be no need for this http://forum.next-episode.net/viewtopic.php?id=1398 anymore. :D

comment # 11 by karenbear

I like cn2's idea - maybe a stats section - length of time on site, how many babes rated, how many forum posts (you'd need to link in the forum ID somehow for that through). Can you count news and babe comments per user?

comment # 12 by santah

yeah K, I can, and most of the suggestions so far are excellent and will probably be implemented :)

comment # 13 by Halo2

Why aren't the site and forums accounts linked?

comment # 14 by completenutter2

Guess: Site is created by santah, forums are third party... not overly easy to do that.

comment # 15 by sep

For the age section, don't pull a tbdev and have it so we actually say how old we are right now, obviously users wouldnt want to login every year to update that single detail :) (d.o.b ftw)

comment # 16 by BlackBox

yeah - stats - lots of stats!

comment # 17 by Halo2

In that case them maybe a indication of whether or not we have forum accounts? Or maybe how many posts etc...?

comment # 18 by madboobs

oh yeah me love stats :D

comment # 19 by completenutter2

@Halo2... that'd only work if you have the same account name.
Maybe there could be a way you could put your forum account name in (and authenticate it).

comment # 20 by bigbadbunks

Like tv.com, mabe you can attribute levels based on amount of shows, babes rated, date of sign up, time on site etc etc.
