Your feedback on forum Profile and Settings pages

[Marjo]

Hi everyone, I hope your week is going well. 

As you may know, we've started doing some work in the background to improve the forum and continue doing that in 2018. One of the areas we have recently asked for your feedback on is the forum Search, which is being worked on at the moment and you should see some changes there this week; thanks everyone for your comments.

The next areas we would like to improve are:

• Forum member profile page (you can get there by clicking on your username at the top of the forum page)
• Forum member settings page (click on the "My Settings" at the top of the forum page)

As with the search page, we would like to ask what you think of the current profile and settings page, and if there's anything that you would suggest for improvements, since you guys use these pages the most? 

For example...

• Are the Settings easy/difficult to use?
• Anything in there that you never use and feel should be removed?
• What about the member profile page, any comments on the different things displayed there?
• Any examples from elsewhere that you've come across and think are great in some way?

Really looking forward to your thoughts.

This would explain my question, but it does require sorting and that is

• Personal web page box has been renamed to "Devices": here you can specify what mobile devices you currently have which is more relevant

But the text box still requires a URL which makes it impossible to just add which devices you have in plain text.

@adelphiaUK - the forum has been through a rebrand from Lithium to Khoros and a rolling refresh since then, surprised any of it still works as intended - in fact, threading responses is only just working, and the new Table feature ignores formatting instructions, and...

The new Avatars work much better than before though 👍

Blast. Got logged out on post and can't remember half what I wrote.

One thing I did mention in relation to avatars was the possible use of Gravatar.

Tagged you into the latest instantiation of this topic, @adelphiaUK - take a look, read, smile or weep, then vent your spleen there 😉

@pgn if you need help, once I've established myself here a bit more and earned the trust of moderators / officers I'm certainly willing to help out where I can.
