Profiles
I did a lot of quick ports of my old code to my new class formats. It went by rather fast, compared to the personal settings script. Some areas are a little buggy... some areas are really buggy... I'm not even done with all of them. I don't care to hear about bugs because I know they are there.
But...
If you care to adventure into each people's profiles, absolutely feel free to do so. I'll be fixxing up the remaining code and then modifying everything to look and behave better soon, so what I'd really love is any suggestions you might have to improve anything.
One area that needs some attention is the biography page...
You can enter a lot of different data here, and one problem that's perplexing me is how to lay it out. It used to be just one solid column, all the way down, but the right side can look rather empty with low data, especially on higher resolutions.
Throwing everything into two columns poised more problems because table cells would fight for space, or, if one cell is huge and the other is not, it just doesn't look too good. Got any ideas?

It looks perfect, to me. But the scrolling on the favorite 'blah blah' isn't ... fun.
Other than that I love it. GJ.

Edit journal entry.

The Admin section needs warn logs.
Wordwrap in some places and disabling it in other places would be nice. Just look in my profile in the Biography and Journal section.

Edit journal entry, yes...
The bio entry page in the usercp does need to be redone. I'd probably throw it in a seperate table so it'll be easier to edit, add, move around and such. A delimited string can only do so much.
The wordwrap function isn't really that useable to cut down on big strings without more code surrounding it. Yeah, I can write the code to force people not to enter long ass strings to some degrees... but if it comes down to it, the member can just get their profile wiped and banned from having one. Profile > Admin > Wipe profile... done.
And yes, the admin section is quite... unfinished. For global mods and up, the admin section will have all sorts of cool tools...
I'm going back to the message class for now... fix the bugs and add the notice handling functions.

Remove the link to admin section if you're not a global mod and up?

Would be better not to do that for the moment. Me and Chu can't be the only ones testing that beacuse that area is the largest and most complex in the whole profile section.
When testing the Admin Section is enabled, it'd be best that the Primary account be set as a Global Mod and all other secondary account be keeps as members. This way we can test it better and nodoby goes on a banning rampage so that he/she can be only tester.
ADDITION:
Profile/Gallery
Make it possible to add categories to the images.
Profile/Journal
Don't have 20 journal entries(at least I think thats the default) and have it stored by months. That way it's much easier to find old entries.
Profile/Staredit.net/Medals
This should be placed in another section. There is far too little rom in there and it'll easily make all the surrounding area stretch or shrink and make it all look bad.
I suggest under game options or move the signature to the left and put the Medals section below Statistics and to the right of the Signature.

Not if the medals are small images...

Yeah, but I believe that medals will have text besides them.
IE:
[@] Medal for Testing
\/
!!
And thats just a short name
OMG, it looks wierd in my browser.

I wasn't planning on putting any text next to medals... just the title attribute. Check my profile and hover over the medal.
