New feature: profiles linked to the forum

[Phil Herring]

Yet one more reason to register for the forums. When you see an author's name displayed as a link it means that some degree of profile info is available.In some cases it's just forum profile and posting history, but in other cases it also links to the owner directory and any submitted boat reviews. If you have an unattached owner directory entry it can be linked easily. Same is true with boat reviews.Soon we hope to link up photos, too.I found this to be a lot of fun while I was testing it!As always, let me know if you find bugs. Please email bugs using the link at the top of the screen or send 'em to phil at sailboatowners.com.

That is great.

I've often wondered if/when we'd get that feature. Very cool.

THIS is what I have been waiting for

THis is exactly what this forum needed. To be able to know more info about people that post or reply. It puts their posts and replies in perspective. Actually, the only reason I'm replying is to see how my profile looks. THANKS AGAIN !!!!!! Tony B

PHIL !!!!!

My profile is from old info. Where did it come from? My new info is on "Owners Directory". How can it be linked or how do i edit whats on there now? THanks, in advance Tony B

 

[PrincessoftheLake]

Well, that's just great

But where do I go to update my profile????*o

 

[T J Furstenau]

Phil has gone and done it again. I've been lurking and posting here at least 8 years, and Phil is consistently adding feature and function to make the visit here more enjoyable.Thanks again -T J

PHIL !!!!!

I just realized that the info that you linked to was in CATALINAOWNERS.COM "Owners Directory". Can you link me to my new "owners directory" in sailboatowners.com?. ALSO.....please dont wipe out info in catalinaowners.com on the outside chance that someone who buys it in the future can look me up. Thank again. Tony B

Tony and PricnessoftheLake

Tony: you're now linked to your SBO entry.Princess: First, you need to register here in the forums. Then, make sure you are logged in and go to the Owner Directory and create a profile there. The profile info is pulled from the Owner Directory.

[Marybeth and Rip]

Question about new feature

Are there two profiles online somewhere? When I open my Profile on Hunterowners web site, it has a user name of "Marybeth & Rip" but when I add questions to the forum the user name just comes up as "Rip". (I add Marybeth manually) Is there a second place to update the Profile?Also, is there something that explains the relationship of the HunterOwners web site to "Sailboatowners" web site. Sorry to be obtuse but I don't get on here that much but I do review the new posts almost every day. Great site. I have received so much useful info that I will never be able to repay it.Last, what did the previous poster mean about the Catalinaowners site being bought? Is Catalinaowners spliting from Sailboatowners?Thanks

MaryBeth

Sorry for the confusion, but I was refering to the Catalina 30 as being being bought, not the site. It's my Brooklyn accent, sorry. LOL

Step by step for us idiots

When you say "register here in forum" I can not find the location to do it, or maybe I am register and I don't understand the terminology. Due to my computer limitations I have to be told step by step. What do I specifically click on to register and develop the profile?

 

[Ed Caldwell]
