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

scheebly, tell him from me i thought his performance was oscar worthy, and it gave me a lot of hope for ds2 who has cp, but not as profoundly as the character he played in the film

i can honestly say its one film i tell everyone they must watch

The system won't let me put in the correct birthdays for my kids. The month is not an option (not a drop down box) and the years are not what I have entered.

lou, you look so much younger than 40, are you sure you've filled in your age right???

Click on photos to add a picture - on the bar. I have 3 on there, but I tried to upload another one and it won't let me upload now. my photos are tiny too - about 30kb each.

schneebly, in the profile bit there's a 'Show Photo' option, with a drop down box from which you can select one of the photos from your gallery.
think it's after the bit where you can write some general blurb about yourself

I didn't even notice the what I do bit
which is OK because I don't really do anything anyway!

think there are quite few little bugs. when tech returns, we'll start whipping him and get him to work

schneebly, to make the pic appear in your profile you have to write something in the 'what she says about herself' box.

MrsJohnCusack · 17/01/2007 10:34

olive you have to add photos to your gallery via the 'photos' link (in the list of options across the top of the profile bit that starts 'My Mumsnet'
then you can choose to display one of them in 'show picture' bit in the profile bit (the bit with all the favourite films etc.)
you have to make sure you type something in the 'A Few words about you' bit to make the photo appear.

so TECH.....more bugs!

the 'what I do' bit doesn't show up in the profile, neither does the favourite thread bit. also people would like a bigger space to put in what they do. and Uwila has suggested some good things on here as well.

Wheh I changed the what I'm currently reading bit it just ignores my changes and puts it back to the same as Favourite books....however it does display the updated info (i.e. the correct info) on my public page. also that box is in a different font size to the rest of the page.
