Some Notes On Functionality

As you can see, you can edit your profile to include a photo, list your interests, add a signature to your posts, and the usual bits.

Oh This Is Just a test sorry.... Upload from computer...

Another functional bit?

There's email within the site, which protects your personal email address if you're into that sort of thing.

And hi John!

Profile editor is f'ed does not save sig, website info, just resets. so watch it..

EDIT: may just be me

No, I'm noticing that it's being a little twitchy. I'm checking it out on the support forum.

Apparently you can just type a link in your sig, and it will automatically convert it to a link; see my link to Mixing Science.

You can also use UBB code in your sig, or so I'm told.

I also want to let everyone know about the thumbs-up and thumbs-down you can find at the top of each topic.

This can be used to rate a poster's topic in a general sort of way. However, I can see it being used to help "rate" a contributor's mix, a bit like the different star ratings at AotM. However, one cool thing with the thumbs method of rating is that when a user clicks on another user's profile, it shows their highest rated topics... so it automatically filters those mixes that got the best responses to the top of the list on that user's profile, thereby creating a sort of evolving "Best of" for that mixer.

Granted, it won't be very functional while the forum still has just a few members. However, as we grow, I can see it working quite nicely, as long as we don't descend to the generic and automatic "star-rating" that I've seen on AotM. Here, the rewards will have to be dealt out with a little more attention and care.

I'm ok with that.
