As we mentioned earlier today, we've been rewriting our profile system to be much more stable and compatible. We've also added some new features and changed some things that may affect your profile, so please take a quick gander at this list of tweaks:
The following changes are for newer (version 2) profiles only:
These changes will affect all profiles, both old and new:
A final word of caution: Although we've worked very hard to make everybody's profiles work properly with these new changes, there may be a few people whose profiles broken in one place or another. You may have to make some tweaks to your profile to make it look right again, especially if you're using custom code.
The following changes are for newer (version 2) profiles only:
- Adding custom CSS stuff to your profile, and messing with the style of your Comments and Friends, has been moved to the new Profile Theme page in your account settings.
We've added a "Recent Visitors" panel, which will show the usernames of people who have checked out your profile recently. Don't worry; people won't know that you were checking out their profile unless you want them to. You'll remain hidden from view unless you change the "Recent Visitors" option in your Profile Preferences panel to "Show."
Big Change: There is now a "Save" button! You've gotta press it, or your profile changes won't be saved!
These changes will affect all profiles, both old and new:
- You can now choose whether or not you want to display the following info: Last login, registration date, gender, location, birthday, occupation and website. You can mess with these options in the Profile Preferences panel.
You can change whether your profile is "public" or "private" (if it's private, only your friends can view it). Hit up the Profile Preferences panel to change this.
If you want to embed YouTube videos in your media section, you just have to grab the movie's URL (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaB7BQ6PlHs) and plug it in, and it will automatically be changed to the proper embedding code.
Another Big Change: You can now access your profile by putting your username in the URL (i.e. http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/Your_Username_Here or http://www.gaiaonline.com/p/Your_Username_Here).
A final word of caution: Although we've worked very hard to make everybody's profiles work properly with these new changes, there may be a few people whose profiles broken in one place or another. You may have to make some tweaks to your profile to make it look right again, especially if you're using custom code.
