Ninna Dazy Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Happy birthday Second Life! I wish LL would update how Profiles of Residents look like. Since im playing SL ( 12 years ), profiles look the same, have same pages and options. How about give us options to choose color, font and texture of our profiles? Or to have option what we want to put on 1st page, what on last page. Now, when you open any profile, Partner box is what catches eye first. it gives impression that SL is only dating site, and thats not true. Many people are here for creativity and fun. Many would like to see something else on 1st page of profile. I think that any update, any change, any new option to create personal profile would be good. What do you guys think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valium Lavender Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I am all for a Profile change up. We should have more options and control over the format I think. It is our business card or calling card and first impressions are made based on what is in our profiles! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm not opposed to an update to the profile layout, but you can do quite a lot with it as it is, and I wouldn't want LL to steer their developers towards it before they deliver some other features that we've been promised. ... ...

Coby Foden Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We need a new tab in the profiles named "Family". Why? Because now the "Picks" tab is totally ruined from its original intent because lots of people use it for listing their loved ones and family members and what not. Argghh... The original intent for the "Picks" is clearly stated in the profile Picks tab: "Tell everyone about your favorite places in Second Life." It does not say "Use it for any purpose what comes to your mind." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangeline Ling Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Another unpopular opinion... For the love of all that is legible... Please DO NOT let people pick fonts... they will choose some of the same unreadable fonts they choose for display names... mic drop... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morena Tully Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 hmmm... well nobody looks at the interests tab or the classified tab, so I say replace with "special people" tab and "thoughts" for the other. Each with 10 available picks like what we have now. Then we'd have those along with the picks for favorite places. Yes, that's a lot of stuff, but either people will use them or they won't, same as now with what we have. It just gives more options, and is fodder for us profile pervs I don't like the idea of fonts and colors though. I can see some people making headache inducing flashy attention getting look at me I'm so special garbage.... The format now is nice and easy to read and see. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Rhiadra Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It would also be nice if it resolved the conflict between aspect ratio in Firestorm and the SL viewer. I don't like having my pretty pictures of me squished!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall ever seeing anything in that tab in all the years I’ve been perving profiles. I’m always pleasantly surprised when someone’s picks tab has actual interesting locations listed.

Conifer Dada Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I like profiles as they are but that doesn't mean they can't be improved. How about a few more characters in the biog sections and make profile pictures a little larger, so we don't need to click on them to enlarge, which doesn't always work. Group profiles could also be improved, with maybe a feed similar to what individual profiles have, where members could post comments and photos. That would need to be an optional feature controlled by the owners or other designated officials 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you gave Maddy her devil outfit: you are clearly a corrupter of youth, a debaucher of good ideas, and a general, all-round badnic. Maddy is over a decade younger than me, but I'm not sure that qualifies as youth. (Dropping some Maddy-bait: I'd say she's around 29.) As for badnic, I prefer "Allow me to introducing myself. I am Boris Badenov, world's greatest no-goodnik." SL is full of corrupted good ideas ... LL gives us a new thing and we twist it into something they never expected. Then again, not all of their ideas qualify as good ... maybe we made their ideas better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's just random stuff, some SL interests, preferences in roleplaying and things like that. Creators also often use them for FAQ, links and more store related things. Which actually makes total sense to me, because 2nd life tab has a rather short characters limit with no chances to put anything, but most basic things there. And even if it weren't limited, I'd rather glance through a few separate tabs/picks which (hopefully) have appropriate titles, than try to find what interests me in one giant wall of text. Maybe with that legacy profiles' "grand comeback" LL can add another separate tab to profiles named "interests" or something like that, where people would be able to add more info about themselves without having to use the picks. Although I'm sure people would run out of space there and use picks for it anyway, so probably no point to even bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymews Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 some of the people tagged on another person's profile would most likely be quite happy to be that person's pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decro Schmooz Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Having looked at the Project legacy Browser. The profile resembles the legacy (old) profile. Which looks exactly like the Firestorm Profile, with the exception that one of the tabs has been renamed 'Real' which is usually used for real life photo/info so far. Also photos seem to enlarge to their native resolution which is good too. I think starting with the legacy profile format is better than the modern profile (as it displays immediately more information on screen for the space it uses onscreen). I think a family tab would be useful for those of us that have them in RPG sims, as it can be quite difficult figuring out your nieces/nephews from your uncles/aunts and grandparents; sons/daughters, grandchildren. For group profiles, about with notifications/events must be first and foremost, as I initially had to be directed to the notifications section when I first joined a group, and the information there is invaluable for knowing actual group activities in advance which allows you to plan your time better, and therefore involve you more in group activities! Membership/who's who listings should be secondary. Actual whataboutery and functionality of groups should prioritise over who runs them in group profile listings. So that when you look at a group you know instantly whether they hold activities inworld or are just for chat only, both of which have their roles/uses. The use of small images alongside notifications is an easy/useful quick way of identifying events that peak your interest the most as well, and when you open up the event/notification, it would be good to display it like an actual inworld notification when viewing it for the sake of familiarity and thus ease of reading, rather than just a squishy, scrolly note. My opinions are based on what it is like to be in a group as a user. Perhaps others that run groups should also have their say, so long as their practicalities do not destroy the actual group users experiences of accessibility to their groups. A major bugbear is that the time of events should be displayed clearly in a separate line box at the bottom of notifications, rather than hidden in the middle of the notification text where you have to hunt around for it. ** Also it would be great if that time could be optionally displayed in real time to the user reading it from whichever country they are in so they can set the event to their own Real Life clock (i.e. display PDT or Actual time in Properties somewhere, where you have selected your timezone). Now THAT would be MAGNIFICENT and increase user interactions within groups immensely, rather than having to do the maths every single time you want to attend an activity. ** Edited September 22, 2019 by Decro Schmooz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Time or Both. Where Both displays both datetimes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
