IPB 3 introduces a new type of profile. In addition to a Profile Page, there is now a Profile Card which is a tiny version of your profile. By clicking a username you can simply view their profile page, clicking the tiny button next to their username will bring up their profile card.


Anywhere you see username you will see this tiny button This button will be anywhere your username is (Topic, Online List, Member Search, Index, Chatbox) This allows you to load anyone's profile card anywhere. I've posted a few comments to my own profile page to show an example of how it looks. Its a clean javascript pop up that works only in updated browsers. No IE6, IE5, FF2 etc. It has a clean shadow around it, and makes it look good. Heres an example of my card.



As you can see there is a "status" part which I'll go into later. I know some people will have fun changing every 2 seconds. I'm trying to give some updates to the tools in a news topic frequently so the change isn't so big, and you'll know how to work most features.

that seems cool...?


IPB keeps stalling and throwing out cool featuresssss

On the next update, due out soon. We can "start" to test upgrade this board (2.3.x) into the 3.0.0 environment on a "password" protected site to see how the conversion went. Theres bound to be bugs, then after that its golden. So it actually is very close to being done.

Is there many changes to the moderating features?

[iBotPeaches]

When you click that little "+" on any post, and are a staff you get this.

In the ACP. You get this pop up for banning.


(No, thats not my IP. Thats whoever a random bot viewed my test site)

Looks pretty sweet, but people seem to ignore the profiles.

When the card pops up, without having to view another page. No refresh or anything. I think it will get more popular due to the decrease of time needed to load it. And the simplicity to click it.

I hope so, i really like the profiles it makes me sad to see that feature go to waste.

and i hope you meant decrease not increase lol.

[iBotPeaches]

Huh. Profile Pages are there. Profile Cards were added.

I see now why the release was delayed, with them seemingly adding new features every day. Thank you Peaches for keeping us informed on features and such.

Seems cool peaches , Can't wait for the transition to go down!

[LXV Grizzly]

Yeah, I really like profile pages, but no one looks at them now. Hopefully this will make it a lot more popular.

[V3NOM]

any updates on when the update is coming?

[Slidell]

Sounds pretty good not that many people will look at it though.

[Dan]

Sounds pretty cool.

Doesn't look like a feature i'll use much though.

I bet you will, give it time. Its on EVERY page your able to bring up the card, and it acts as the only source to know your "global" REP. So you will.

[Dark Slipstream]

Why won't it show in our actual profile lol.
