You can now add comments, ratings and various other things to other people's profiles. Adding them to your buddy list will also show who all your friends are. Check it out by simply clicking on any users profile.

This is cool Eric, little bit more of a personal touch to proceedings here and there. Also beefs up profiles somewhat. Nice one :) :rock: .

Not sure if it was this, but it would appear that on my profile, (if not my posted comments) my gifts have swapped places with Lindas :lol:... perculiar...

Uh oh.. sounds like it's buggy, I will take a look.

Yeah, my gifts are all messed up with Pod God's! Where are my gifts?:headscratch:

Pod God

LMAO, I have all of Eric's gifts:D

Danny

:lol: weird. We all got some real gift giving and swapping on the go here... is it christmas already ?...

How do you add somebody to your friends list?

Danny
07-01-2007, 05:41 PM
Yeah it only seems to happen in profile PG. As for adding people, just view their profile and "add to buddy list"... same as adding to friends.

When you hit a page that has a ton of gifts under someone's name it slows it down. I may just removed that from the regular thread pages, it will still be viewable in the users profile.

...but the gifts in the regular thread pages are the correct gifts. It's the gifts in peoples profiles that have changed around... or have you fixed them ? *goes to check*

But those gifts are right. The profile gifts are wrong. Check your profile. I think you have Porty's gifts:)

Okay, so is that the only bug you guys see so far?

Danny
07-01-2007, 06:50 PM
Yeah man, can't see anything else. Friends list, ratings and comments seem to be fine and dandy.

Thanks guys, glad you like it. As for the gifts not appearing on the profile page, I have removed them from there. This is a known issue and I would rather have this mod working, the gifts can still be viewed under the avatars on the forum pages.

I dunno. I got a couple of requests, but I am stumped as to how it works...

:lol:

Oh, I got it now, though confused as to why some people are added instantly and some remain pending...

Not to worry though...

Profiles look all the better for removing the gifts, in my opinion. Less clutter, can also read the amusing little mini Bio's and whatnot. Cool :)

I'm gonna smoke my zodiac sign on my birthday !!!

:lol:

My quirky humour: I love seeing how all the banned spammers have "This user does not currently have any friends".

Makes me chuckle anyway...

No, I'll chuckle in silence on me own then...

How do you get a zodiac sign to show up?

ericgtr
07-05-2007, 08:11 AM
Riff, I think you have to put your full birthday in your profile.

Yep, you're right. I tried it but the sign for Sagittarius looks too weird so I'll remain yearless. :toothless:

We now have a few styles you can choose from to apply to your profile. Go here http://www.guitarblast.com/profile.php?do=editprofile (UserCP > Edit Profile) and you will see where you can choose different colors. Once you have previewed it, go back and make sure it's selected again, then choose save at the bottom. Check mine out for a preview.

I see we can make our own. Is there a css file we can use as a template to get started?

Very Cool Eric! :thumb: Nice to see some girly colors in there!

ericgtr
07-12-2007, 10:34 AM
LOL.. I totally knew you were going to choose pink, in fact that's the main reason I put it in there.

Would be cool to get a nice blood red Eric, is there a way we can get that ?...

if you want to have a go at customising your own profile CSS look on google for CSS generators ie http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/tools/css/css_generator.html

remember to strip out anything like this from the beginning:

<style type="text/css">
<!--

and anything like this from the end:

//-->
</style>
<!-- Please leave this in. This style code created on CSS Generator, find this and more at: http://www.rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/ -->

Then it should work fine.

Actually, regular users don't have that option porty. That's something only staff can use :) Melicious code can be used so we don't want it to be widely open like that.
