New member profile facility

Hello all,

We've added a function to Mumsnset so that you can set up a page about yourself that other people will eventually be able to see when they click your name on Talk. We figured this would work more easiliy better than starting a "member profile" thread, though you can of course still do that if you want to. If you go to the "my registration" link above you can get started from there if you'd like to set up a profile. This is of course totally optional, and only for those as want to do it. A number of people have expressed an interest in being able to do that over the months. If you do want to, remember you can answer as many or as few of the questions as you like.

You can set your profile to be "private" so only you can see it, or visible to all mumsnetters. There's also an intermediate level "Mumsnet mates" that lets you choose who can see it. You can set up a list of "mates" by following the "Mumsnet mates" link and typing their talk names into a box.

You can also set up a photo gallery for any pictures you'd to share with other Mumsnetters. For the moment, you can set these to be either public (any registered Mumsnetter could see them) or private to you. We'll add the intermediate level to them over the next day or so.

Anyway, take a look and, as ever, tell us what you think. It's still a work in progress, so we'd appreciate input on what people think works and what doesn't.

I've set up a sample page about me (must be mad). You can see it here .

Best wishes,
Tech

Cheers Tech, working great now

nappyaddict · 17/01/2007 14:12

it would be good if you could click on someones name and be able to click add to mumsnet mates, rather than actually having to type in the whole name.

DumbledoresGirl · 17/01/2007 14:12

MamaG · 17/01/2007 14:04

oh bum, its remembering now

Think it was just being a knob.

sandcastles · 17/01/2007 14:02

mamaG, you should only have to tick once & it remembers. I have had w/o buying selling ticked all day & not had a prob

MamaG · 17/01/2007 14:01

I'm not - you have to tick every time (or is it just me?)
I'd like it to remember my ticks

VeniVidiVickiQV · 17/01/2007 14:00

Am loving the changes to active convo selection, btw.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 17/01/2007 14:00

This "mates" thing is going to be SO much fun.. we will be able to dramatically delete people when we fall out.. as we do...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 17/01/2007 13:56

Hulababy · 17/01/2007 13:48

MegaLegs · 17/01/2007 13:47

Cappuccino · 17/01/2007 13:47

do you have to update it each time one of the feckers changes their names?

princessmel · 17/01/2007 13:47

I thought that too megalegs.

I can't do the photos. I've downloaded the Powertoy thing to help but its still not working.

Does anyone know how to do it??
