The Profile page was redisigned! Now with staff answers about upcoming changes

Aaaahhhhh
Edit: personally, I love how it now shows the home street, and how many buddies and snaps, achievements and upgrades you have.
But I don't like how it doesn't show where the player is in game.

  • I use profile pages a lot, and it's really cool to see how this kind of change can effect my game play.  Thank you for the experience!

  • When I mouse over the avatars on the profile page I get a weird outline. You can see it best on a light coloured avatar

  • Anyone else think it feels like FB's timeline?

    That link to their street near the top is fantastic! It was far too hidden before.

    @BCWillie: I have the same "almost" twin when I view other people as well. 
    Also, would like to see my current energy/mood before entering the world. 

    As for buddies since that list is ordered by the very first friends we made, or came with, it isn't very useful. Maybe have it show the avatars for "online buddies"?

    ETA: Treesa your link points to a comment by MoM4.5 not a profile page/

  • I've been getting this tearing effect depending on what part of the page I hover first.  The feet seem to tear when hovering the level.  The following one seems to happen when hovering a snapshot comment, then hovering the next one down.  Hope that makes sense.  Here's some screenshots:

    Edit: Managed to get both!

    Also, the image of the home street seems to jiggle a tiny bit when hovering over friends.

  • I don't know if this is just something I never noticed before, or if this came with the new changes to the profile...
    I went to Edit Profile, which contained my real name, visible to Anyone.  I usually protect my privacy more strictly than that, so I was very surprised.  TS  PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSE make sure that real names and other privacy exposures are always and only OPT IN features.

  • KhaKhonsu, that is already an opt in feature.  
    Posted 6 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ WindBorn:  My point was that I usually wouldn't opt in to a feature like that, and I don't remember ever doing so here.  Perhaps it was just an oversight by me, but I wanted to make sure that the migration to the new profile didn't have a bug that accidentally switched this setting for people.

  • Unless I am mistaken, nothing has changed regarding real name. It was always an option to enter it, and if you did it appeared on your profile page where anyone could see it. There was never an opt-in/opt-out option as far as whether everyone could see it; just if you don't want people to know your real name don't enter it there.

  • Regarding real names, there's also an option to make it visible only to friends.

  • Profiles have always shown you where the player was in the game (or where they last were, if they are offline) thats not new.

  • I really like the new page, and I know out home page will be changing soon too, but ATM, I feel like the new profile page feels more like the home page....anyone else feel that way?
    Posted 6 months ago by Muncey Mango Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes!  But almost, not quite.  It would need a feed of my friends updates.  I'm wagering that the new home page will have even more changes to it, to differentiate it from the new profile page.

  • Is "<name> added you as a friend. (you ignored them)." new?

    When someone has a passing pleasant interaction with me and decides to friend me, I don't always want to add them to my list because my list is already pretty long, but I also don't want to announce that I'm snubbing them!

  • Treesa: Which browser/platform are you seeing the avatar outline on the status update page?

    a lifted pixel: Same question!  But for the avatar tearing. 

    Thanks!

  • I'm seeing the avatar tearing on Chrome 19.0.1084.54 and OS x 10.6.8.

  • Nice work!  Thanks!  I also especially love the Home Street image.

  • Yes I agree Brib Annie. That is so awesome!

  • I don't like ALL of it but I like MOST of it, especially LOVE how it shows what design our home street is, in the background.  Purdy. <3  Now you just have to add the music from our home streets and it would be perfect. =^_^=

  • I love the new profile page, thanks TS, but could I also have a list of achievements, that I haven't done.

  • Like KhaKhonsu, I was unpleasantly surprised to see my full name appear as "visible to all". I would also wonder if a privacy setting got lost.

  • Really like the new profile pages - love the street banner.  Agree with most of the comments here about changes/issues (location info, energy/mood status info), etc.

    Could we also get a line that lists the date our Glitch was imagined (don't care if it's in Glitch time or RL time)?

    Seems like we could get another line of buddies displayed (so there would be three vice two lines) with most of the comments on the status section.

    Definitely makes it interesting to see how big of energy tanks, and how much quoin multipliers my friends have...I have a long way to go...

  • Entering in your real name at all is optional. If you don't want to risk it accidentally being shown, don't enter it in the first place. Just saying.
    Posted 6 months ago by Fauxfire π Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If your start date on Glitch is added, I'd like a way to opt out, please.  I choose not to display that for a reason.  Those who think it's important information can currently add it in their profile.

  • I would rather optionally display my real name and imagination date as well.
