Can we please have profiles?


Posts: 9413

The host for scmockingjay.nodebb.com had a profiles feature where you could see all the things that user posted in chronological order, most recent at the top and oldest at the bottom. 

 

And then the profiles themselves had the ability to have a little bit of customization to them which I guess was cute. Just like a description for free text underneath the avatar and then behind the avatar a little “header image” of the users choice. For personalization. 

 

I liked that a lot. 

 

Also I would like to be able to see a chronological log in the same order from recent to oldest of all the topics made by that user. 

 

It it would be cool if we could “Star” certain topics as well in a separate tab within the profile. 

 

So so it’s just three tabs, posts, topics, and then starred topics.

It in general made for an interestingly different way of navigating. That website felt very swimmy when going through different pages.

Only thing I don't see myself liking about it is the increased likelihood of skipped reading. If the post read was already on the wrong page it could stand to grow infectious.

Why can’t we just have profiles like I suggested? 

 

Even luna was on board for profiles and wanted me to create them for her 

 

but she made me create the PM system first...

She tricked you into coding for her, for free? Posted Image

I don't think we really need profiles further than what we have now (do we really need an "About Me" page for our real name, where we live, and all that shit? No). I mostly enjoyed it for the oddly swimmy navigation room, as NodeBB had tons of ways of filtering topic and post data. I'd also imagine a non-streamline version draining that many more resources from the site. 

I will say this though: Being able to "follow" an account was kinda nice, and while I don't like the potential to skip reading other people in topics it'd be more bound to bump good topics back to the front page than without it.

Couldn't that style of search result hypothetically be a part of someone's profile without draining much from the website?

I was just showing how you can use the current functionality to achieve a similar effect
