Hi,

I wish if there will be an option to enhance profile options like:

--> adding fields for Hard- & Software i'm using. so any user can read it before heping instead of guessing and asking first what setup i might have.
may there'll be many user who will not fill out their profile to the full, but then it's their own fault whenever it come frickling around with questions - personally i do not care about that kinda sloppy guys.

--> ability to browse all my Topics and postings within my profile

--> of course adding an 30x30 avatar will surely do nice.

--> most important is the topic view. topics should be expanded all the time, no hidden posts or topics, each posting should be in its own frame followed by the next posting underneath with a slightly highlighted background for easier separation.

--> as it's been already said, better and easier text editing, and easier way to quote other postings withing the same window.

however, i can't wait for the new forum!! and please don't mess up ;)

thanks guys!

    I think we're mixing different things. Let's take the current site as we are viewing now. We are looking at a topic/thread/discussion called "Enhanced Profile Options."

    We are looking at it in a linear/flat mode. All replies/answers/messages appear one after the other in the order they were posted.

    There is a (user set) option in the new system to view in a threaded mode. In that case, you can either reply to the top message that started the discussion or you can reply to an individual message/reply in the discussion.

    If you view in Linear mode it looks just like things do here now. If you select to view in Threaded mode it looks somewhat similar, but with replies to replies indented.

    Neither of these has anything to do with how many posts in a discussion appear on the page. Or what old/new messages appear.

    Are topics threads? Does it mean that all posts are shown by default?

    - Topics will show all (something that is taking me a while to get used to, I like just seeing the new content).

    ok, i agree with you somhow. but maybe this could be ported to a user defined setting in the profiles how a thread will be shown up.

    however, thanks for reply and good luck.

    Out of the starting gate, we will be using the forum profile. But there are plans to replace that with an overall Adobe systems profile where you would have a list of at least the software you are using.

    You should be able to find all of your content from your profile page.

    Not sure of the avatar size yet.
