RayOxide Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Why not have a few more options on the Profile UCP? RSN2 and RS-Type are good, but certain people dont just play RS, why not have an option for PSN/GamerTag/etc? Lots of people on these forums have Xboxes, some have PS3s, Wiis and PC gamers. So why not? It wont take that much of work really, will it? A few other ideas from other people could be nice. Note; I know the signature could be used for this, but it might be cool :| I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mil Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Of course, most forums do you options like these, but this is really a RuneScape/Jagex forum. But then again, I see no harm in having the options there, apart from abuse of the system. Also, I guess people would get frustrated that their game/profile isn't available. If everyone's request was to be accepted, then the list would go on and on. For example, someone could have XFire, Live For Speed, Steam, xbox360, PS3, Wii, DS, and so on. On the other hand, these could only be displayed when the person's profile is actually clicked, instead of under the avatar with a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Maybe add a drop-down option for the type (Wii/PS2/PS3/Xbox/DS/PSP) and allow up to two codes displayed in the profile? If that makes sense? Or add a text box in the profile for 'Video Game Codes/Tags' like the occupation/interest ones sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I don't see the need, to be honest :? That's why we have signatures, so you can include whatever you want. As already mentioned, this is a RuneScape fan site so we are mostly going to cater to people who play that game. If we included an option for another game, then people would complain that we picked 'x' instead of 'y' and would demand more. You can put whatever you want in your signature (within the rules, of course). So if you want to put every name or alias or whatever that you have in your signature, you can do that. I don't see a reason to bother making a profile option for it, when people will probably only get upset that we didn't include whatever game THEY play. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, people just look at the picture or a quote in your signature about 85% of the time, its more likely they will look at the profile for information.

Trust me, people just look at the picture or a quote in your signature about 85% of the time, its more likely they will look at the profile for information. Depends on what your sig is like. You have quite a few things in your sig. People are less likely to look through someone's whole sig if there is a lot of clutter. But if there's only like one thing, it will stand out and it will also be more memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayOxide Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 I think everyones' against you Ray. I dont see why. I thought the meaning of Profile would match 'Gamertag' or 'PSN'/'FC' than a signature. I dunno but its what the dictionary says. #-o Whats the 2nd largest forum on TIF? I dont need a siggy no moar.

doomy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I don't see any harm is doing so though. But it is a Runescape forum, even though most of us who don't play Runescape actually forget that completely. I, for one never read the text in a persons sig unless it's a quote..
