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

can all of you who are participating in this vulgar enterprise just sign in here so I don't have to keep clicking on everyone's name

Thanks

There are some missing full stops in the user description bit on the profile! And the interests, etc seems rather bunched up together.

nappyaddict · 17/01/2007 12:36

hula baby- mini hulababy looks just like you!

nappyaddict · 17/01/2007 12:37

oh yes i agree tech, once we are logged in it is annoying having to re-log in every time for member profiles.

nappyaddict · 17/01/2007 12:59

its me again tech - i clicked the photo gallery link but nothings coming up?

Hulababy · 17/01/2007 13:01

nappyaddict - yes, apparantly so although I am never that sure!

Jessajam · 17/01/2007 13:01

nappyaddict · 17/01/2007 13:04

schneebly i'm reading that book too! what course are you doing and where?

schneebly · 17/01/2007 13:06

lol - are you? I am doing a BA Child and Youth Studies with the UHI (online) What about you?

Hulababy · 17/01/2007 13:08

Would it be better to have the member page come up as a new windown, instead of replacing this one. That way, you can click on it if talking to someone, and then not have to try and navigate your way back.

MegaLegs · 17/01/2007 13:09

Tell me again - how do I look at someones profile?

foxinsocks · 17/01/2007 13:09

schneebly, you actually look quite like me except I'm older, chubbier and more wizened . Even your youngest boy looks a bit like mine.

sandcastles · 17/01/2007 13:11

megalegs, just click on their name

WigWamBam · 17/01/2007 13:12

Erm ... I can't actually get into My Registration. I click on it, nothing happens. Nothing at all. It just sits there pretending nothing has been clicked. I don't want to fill this thing in, but I would still like to be able to get into My Registration!

Everything else is working fine ...

MegaLegs · 17/01/2007 13:16

Cool - it wouldn't work before, I'm off for a nose

CheesyFeet · 17/01/2007 13:18

The problem with the topic lists should be fixed now.

sunnywong · 17/01/2007 13:22

actually, I have to say the "music" part is extremely useful in separating the wheat from the chaff

Hulababy · 17/01/2007 13:23

I still can't upload new photos, even if I try to delete an old photo first to change it.
