Character Race/Guild status in info?

[Valfaran]

I think there should be (if profile selections can be altered) a place where you can specify your character\'s race (or undecided) and tell what guild you belong to (if any).

That\'s a good idea, I mean, you COULD put it in your sig, but that takes up space that could otherwise be filled with something else

[Valfaran]

Was that sarcasm?  :evil:

It\'s a good idea and i hope they will add this to our infos.

Shouldn\'t be too hard to do. I mean there is already a location field. Maybe just alter that to what race you with to play and mark your guild after it. I am by no means a master of admin abilities on boards but it would seem like something that could be done.

[Kiern]

no, that was not sarcasm

And yes, I know it can be done on some boards, lokee\'s changed ours a lot on The BISM site...so i\'m guessing its not hard

Well, i guess it\'s not hard if you speak php fluidly (i think). And i seem to remember a post a while back from one of the team members who said that they would need someone with good php skills to create a better site then we have now.

So i think it\'s safe to say that they don\'t have the people with the knowledge yet to do this (correct if i\'m wrong).

I have only looked briefly at the burning board code, but most of these PHP based boards are not too hard to mod.  Just in case I get a lot of free time (and the code isn\'t crap... they are running an older version....hopefully, it would only take half an hour or so), is there anything else besides race/guild you guys would want?  If I get time (and permission) to add it, it will be after the MB release.

I dunno if its that important, but maybe allignment if you were itching to put losta stuff in there, with Good, Neutral, Evil, and Undeclared.

[Kiern]

Also need None as an Alignment choice, it is different than undeclared

[FMiddy]

Ya, like in my sig..., I have nothing else to put in there that really fits these boards, so I went ahead and did that, but being able to put the stuff I have labled in your profile, and then it could show up under post count and what not, I think that would be pretty cool and was somethin I\'ve been thinking about myself.

[Valfaran]

You know what would also be a good addition? A slightly more eye-catching Private Message thing. I didn\'t know that I recieved a message until I just happened to be spacing out and my gaze happened to fall upon the \"1 messages, 1 unread\" thing. It\'s not exactly the most conspicuous little alert doodah. Maybe if you could make it all bold and red when there\'s unread messages.

[Keldorn]

or some kind of pop-up notification for when you have private messages.

Like \"You have # private messages in your inbox\" And then two buttons at the bottom of the pop-up \"go to inbox\" and \"Close Window\"

Note that this isn\'t a board we created ourselves. It is Burning Board 1.1.1 by http://www.woltlab.de

[Keldorn]

but that doesn\'t mean that it can\'t be modified. There are many people who do that with boards.
