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

I like to think I have a fat face with a thinner body (who am I kidding!)

have no photos of me and kids but when I find one I'll CAT you and send you one. Tis v uncanny the resemblance.

zephyrcat · 17/01/2007 13:24

A new toy!! Love it!!

I can't create a gallery though, is that because everyone is doing it at the same time?

And, tech, where's your photos eh??!

schneebly · 17/01/2007 13:26

foxinsocks - I am intruiged now!

nappyaddict - I am on second semester too! Your subjects sound interesting. I found it difficult at first but am doing a bit better now!

oliveoil · 17/01/2007 13:29

am I the only one taking the piss on mine?

[shamefaced]

schneebly · 17/01/2007 13:30

I thought about it OO but chickened out because I am not witty or funny enough lol. You get away with it.

100PerCentCod · 17/01/2007 13:32

try me

sunnywong · 17/01/2007 13:32

you spelled T'Pau incorrectly

I saw Carol Decker in Old Compton Street Once: LAWKS!!! worra fright

princessmel · 17/01/2007 13:32

I read yours earlier Oo and thought it was great! Mines just the truth

MegaLegs · 17/01/2007 13:34

Not working for me again

oliveoil · 17/01/2007 13:35

I will do a proper one later when I have thought of some highbrow stuff to pretend I read/watch/listen to

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 17/01/2007 13:38

Oh, if you won't call "Mumsnet Mates" "MyClique" instead, can mine be called "My Bitches"?

hunkermunker · 17/01/2007 13:38

Can we have a small icon next to names who have filled in their profiles, perhaps with a "last updated" date, so I can keep track of everyone in my MNer spreadsheet?

Thank you.

[realises nobody's quite sure if I'm joking or not]

sunnywong · 17/01/2007 13:41

that's what I asked for HM ( so I could get hte details on teh peg dollies correct) but I was callously ingnored

hunkermunker · 17/01/2007 13:43

Ah, I didn't bother to actually read the rest of the thread. Glad one of my fellow "keep-tabs-on-MNers" was on top of this important issue though

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 17/01/2007 13:45

Hunker, you could have, instead of 'Mumsnet Mates', "My ArseLickers"... (So could VVVQV.... )

[runs aways VVV (QV) FAST!!!]

MegaLegs · 17/01/2007 13:45

Don't see the point of the mates list thing though. Surely if they are your mates they already know about you.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 17/01/2007 13:46

It's in the Spirit of Cliquehood, Mega.. being upfront about Cliquedom; you've got to love it.. it's completely unique to MN!

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??

Cappuccino · 17/01/2007 13:47

so the mates list, right....

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

MegaLegs · 17/01/2007 13:47

True < but I ahve no MN mates-sniff>

Hulababy · 17/01/2007 13:48

princessmel - I can't upload photos either ow (could this morning early on). Wonder if it is because site is too busy.

sandcastles · 17/01/2007 13:49

megalegs..think it might just be a bit busy

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 17/01/2007 13:49

It's worse than you think MegaLegs.. I tried to add you... but apparently you don't exist!

hunkermunker · 17/01/2007 13:51

PMSL SJ - just seen your post - saw it after I started the thread in Site Stuff...

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 17/01/2007 13:52
