hivemind Report post Posted August 29, 2009 Hi admin-types. The new upgrade is great - I've been using IPB on a couple different forums for a while now. We changed over from vBulletin, and we're much happier. Might I suggest we get the "Interests" section of user profiles limited to 100 characters or something? There's people who have entire biographies in there, and when they make a one-line post, there's a whole screen of nothing (except their "interests" bio in the sidebar) to scroll through before you get to the next post. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted August 29, 2009 That's a legacy from the old board which didn't display that additional information by the avatar, just in the user profile. I am hoping people take the time to log into their control panel area and reset things the way they want them. Not all the personal settings survived the upgrade, so check that your email is being delivered as you wish and all the other options you have available in there. Especially list your websites! LW can significantly help your Google rankings. I'm going to set up the gallery shortly which will be another opportunity for people to introduce themselves, show what they do, let us know what's for sale or in a museum, and upload lessons, videos etc. Our community is growing, and we want to give our members every opportunity to get publicity if they want it. You know what we say here on LW- "trying to keep leatherworkers from having to get day jobs..." Thanks for the feedback- keep it coming!
