New Profile Layout

Any views on the new profile layout on the site that was launchd a couple of days ago. I know the guides have fed in some comments, wondered wha other thought? even noticed? gave a toss?

I think it's OK - not sure I want to be able to see little pictures of everyone who drifts by to look at a review, but nothing to be worked up about. Some good changes I think.

I like it. Like everyhting it takes a few days to get used to clicking in a different place but it won't take long.

Like the fact you can see what your own profile message is now.......very useful for remembering to change it or update.

I'm okay with it. Works just well for me. I don't know if I like the whole profile visit pictures that much (I know Malu already sent me a message how I breezed past her profile and didn't read a review). I liked my anonymity when checking somebody's profile, but it's not really a big deal unless it gets to be a nuisance.

Malu begging for reads? Some things never change.

One thing. It's no longer possible to access the new listings in the different categories. I like to check these out to see if there's anything new that I fancy writing about, especially in SC.

I've dropped the dooyoo team a message about it, but haven't had a reply yet.

I like this feature. So far I've had no less than three current Guides perusing my profile without reading a review. (Interesting!)

That should be irrelevant though, I don't like the idea of people judging me for clicking on their profile and daring not to read one of their reviews! I often click on a profile and find nothing I want to read about.

Depends on who's doing the clicking, and whether or not their intentions are honourable.

I'm missing the 'new reviews' link that used to be on the my account page too. It's just one extra step to have to go off and find the new reviews through the community page.

When I post something new, I generally go through the list of who rated my previous review and make sure I've returned at least one read on all of them - so I would click through to their profile and if there's nothing new since I was last there, I wouldn't stop and re-read something.
I think there's a risk people will 'read' things into their visitor info that they probably shouldn't - just like some people got aerated when their 'members who read' list didn't match the 'members who rated'.

I think you are right, there is no dark force at work here..personally I don't even pay any attention to that - or indeed rarely look at the reads and rates sections

All a bit conspiracy theory Ken and TBH, what can anyone actually accomplish from reading your profile?

It is possible to extract everyone's bank details and Mother's Maiden name from the internet and commit some identity fraud. I've seen it in the Mail so it must be true.

Well....that's it!!....if it's in The Mail it has to be true!!

Isn't everything in the Mail true - their horoscopes certainly are!

This is still there, on LHS under your profile picture when you log on.

I read mine yesterday (not in the Mail) and decided there was no point going out!

Gone all respectable in my old age! (Collar and tie) I swore when I gave up the business world that I'd never wear them again, but the other half insisted. The piccy on my profile was taken at a family wedding last year and she wouldn't go with me if I wore my customary leather jacket and t-shirt. (Heh, heh)

Nah...You must be thinking of another feature Helen. This is the new additions to the various Categories I'm talking about. It used to be right under the "New Reviews" button on our old profiles, but has now disappeared.

I generally try to return the compliment, even if it means clicking onto their "All Reviews" list and trawling through their back catalogue to find one I haven't read. Can be hard with a new or newish member though.

I am....but when I look at your profile I log out first to hide my tracks

Don't know Dave...But when the member in question happens to be someone who hasn't read any of my reviews (or at least not while logged into the site) for the past few years then I am slightly suspicious. Call it being paranoid if you like.
