Guest jeremy Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 This is just a placeholder for any comments regarding profiles. You can read the details of the profiles in the announcements forum... Jeremy Quote Link to comment
Guest madphatboy2 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Looks good jeremy. Keep up the good work. I may have over looked this, but how do you view someones profile? Is the profile only for Groundspeak? Or for the geocaching website? (or both) [This message has been edited by madphatboy2 (edited 27 February 2002).] Quote Link to comment
Guest JeepNAz Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Great Job! This sould be fun. Hope the server doesnt burn up over the next few days with added work of all the uploads! Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremy Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Working on integrating the profiles. They can now be found by clicking on the name in a geocaching log. I'll be adding them to travel bugs as well. Also, the new forums will allow clicking on the user's name to see their profile. Jeremy Quote Link to comment

Guest Buck8Point Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 GREAT JOB Jeremy!!!! I was getting that Error page too for a while but now it working. I am having a problem selecting my profile picture. Seems like the 1st time I used the change profile utility there were 2 pulldowns one for the Profile Pic and the other for Avatar Pic. I have uploaded 3 pics trying to get one on the profile, and they are available for selection for the Avatar Only. There is no pulldown for the Profile Picture Field. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.. ------------------ Buck8Point "If I can't fix it, It's definately Broke." Quote Link to comment

Guest tslack2000 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Avatar image will be used in the new forums which haven' been integrated yet. But, someone leaked the address in these forums if the topic hasn't been deleted yet. I took a look around and it looks pretty cool!

Guest whidbeywalk Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Jermey, Love the profiles and will have to find time to work mine up over the next couple of days. However, I think that I found a glitch. On a cache page when viewing the logs, if you select ?Click here to view them,? on the resulting page the user names don?t link to profiles. If you select ?view them all on one page,? the names link just fine. Not complaining, just trying to help troubleshoot. Thanks for making this site and hobby all that it has become.

Guest infosponge Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I just noticed that the "hidden" count in the profile does not include archived caches. My cache page says "8 hidden", my profile shows only 3. Quote Link to comment
Guest Dutchboy Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Jeremy is there an easier way to view someone's profile? I searched on find caches hidden, then went to a cache page, then clicked on the profile. A search function would be good, or is there an easier way.

Guest Eoghan Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Love the new profile capabaility. Also not sure about some of the ambiguities involved with the archived cches but really like how they now show up with 'strikethru' text. Quick and easy way to see the info but know that it's archived. Now I've have to find some suitable pix and avatar.... Quote Link to comment
Guest Mr. Snazz Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 IMHO, its a good idea to have people log in, since profiles can display e-mail addresses. Call me paranoid, but if you didn't have to log in, it would make it all the more easy for someone to write a script and scan this site for e-mail addrs (for spam lists). This happens with a lot of sites already which don't require logins. Since the profile code uses a numeric key to indicate which profile to display, its easy as pie to iterate over all of them.
