Members PF Forums in Profile

**bdude** · 09-09-2006, 01:47 AM

I think it would be nice to have a list of a member's PF forums in their profile.

**Ryan** · 09-10-2006, 04:17 PM

I could be missing something here, but how would this be any different than, say, a signature with the forums that they own?

**bdude** · 09-11-2006, 09:22 AM

Well, they might not be PostFusion forums - but anyway.

Don't back off on your recommendation so quickly, it could be a great idea, but I might just be missing something. If you think that's the case, let me know and explain your reasoning behind it a bit more.

Well, a profile is a collection of information on a particular person (user) and this is some information on the user. It could also show as a list for all the forums they own. It's hard to go throuh the PF pages looking for a particular person's forum.

It just seems to me that the best place to look for a certain person's forums would be in their profile or signature. You shouldn't be picking PF forums to post in based on who owns them, but you should be picking them based on who has the highest balance.

**bdude** · 09-13-2006, 09:03 AM

Exactly my point. I see you have a balance of 206. I can go to your profile to see what forums you own that I can post in.

**Ryan** · 09-13-2006, 01:30 PM

If you wanted to see what forums I own, you could go to the All Forums list...with a balance of 206, this would be very easy...although, I don't have any forums listed in PF, so you won't find any of mine

...I still can't figure out why you would need to view PF forums in profiles...again, you post at forums with the highest balance, you don't post at forums with certain owners.

I think that they are simply looking for a way to view a users PF forums via one click, say that balance link in the postbit. It would not have to be via the profile, say outputting the PF forums from that user via the PF script, something like My Forums, but with the All Forums templates.

I know what the end result would be, but I'm not sure what the purpose behind it is. I'm trying to keep our biggest goal of PF in tact, that being a focus on the forums with the highest balance.
