We're in the process of adding in a new system to the Leaky Lounge profiles. The profiles look a bit off right now because of this new system, but there are many cool new features that you'll find with this profile system, and we're ironing out the look and feel bugs of it right now.

This new modification didn't come with directions, a compass, or a Marauder's Map, so we're all figuring it out together. Post here and share with your fellow members the new features that you find!

More updates as we have them.

Just to help you add in the things that you had automatically ....

Widgets - in the upper right hand corner of the profile you will see "Add Widgets" and "Profile Settings"

Add Widgets
If you want to display your friends/images/comments, this is where you'll add those back in. The cool thing is, that once you've added it in you'll be able to drag and drop it on the page where you like it. You can add up to 6 widgets in your profile, and you can add custom ones as well.

Profile Settings
I've been able to set my color choices in my profile but the colors are not updating. We're working on that.


Please let us know if you figure something out before we do!

It appears the custom widgets don't want to work.
I get "You must enter a message to send" when I try to add one.I only have 5 widgets, so that's not a problem. And I did enter a message, so I am not sure unsure.gif

I see that I can edit my "Members Biography"--but I can't seem to get the codes to work (e.g., for bolding or to put things on different lines). Is there a trick to this that I'm missing? Should I use < and >, instead of [ and ], maybe?

ETA: In case you check it out, I've removed the tags completely from that information.

I am having the same issue and it is rather frustrating. Hope they get it fixed soon.

Is the "Members Biography" something new? If so, where is it? I was also wondering where to find my "Personal Statement"? I just recently added one to my profile, so I'm a bit disappointed not to see it appear there.

Yeah, they are. Any chance we can get them back?

When you are in your own profile, you can't see how its actually going to look, right? So maybe they do show up to people viewing your profile.

I think, and don't hold me to this, but I think the Personal Statement is now just labeled as "Members Biography" because when I put on my biography it took the info that I had as my personal statement.


ETA: It's also missing a lot of features like how many posts, the membertitle, when they joined... etc.
Also, is there any chance you would be able to see your profile without the edit mode? So you can actually see what it'll look like...

ETA2: The settings tabs along posts, friends and all that doesn't work anymore. When I edit it to show less visitors, it doesn't do anything.

ETA3: For regular members, they lightning bolts show up as "---" instead of an image. If you have three lightning bolts, it shows "---" or for five "-----" and so on...

I too noticed all of that missing stuff. Are our profiles supposed to be customizable now or something? But some people appear to have all their stuff arranged differently.

Personally, all of this is making me wonder why the profiles needed updating at all? Maybe some of us will need tutorials. I can't figure out the slightest thing about it. I'm not even sure I'll be able to once it's working correctly as I can't make hide nor hair of it.

Aphrodites Lady You can arrange the profile the way you want it to look. It allows you to reflect your personal tastes, not just what the board has set for you. You can also add in only the widgets you prefer, which is cool if you want more room for comments, but don't want stats for example.

The customizable colors are working now - I'll add in more of a tutorial to the second post in this thread when I get to work, but if you look at profile settings in your profile, you'll see how to choose your border and the colors. My profile is currently decked out for Valentines day!

We're continuing to add colors and profile sets, the widgets will give you back comments, your bio, a picture and stats.

Thanks everyone while we continue to work on making this as awesome as possible.
