Hey all, I'm back to give you one last gift before I disappear into the ether for ever more. Remember before I left last time, I promised I'd give you all proper user info pages, like on Special Observe? Well, we've finally got around to it. Now, by clicking on a user's name, you'll no longer be taken to a cruddly little pop-up, rather a brand spanking new full page full of user stats and info, including the last 10 posts you made (it's very handy, trust me).

Also, if you click on the Your SR Account link at the top of the page and scroll down to the Personal Profile section (in the Forum Options bit) then you'll come across a new section which allows you to add publicly viewable information like your real name, e-mail and MSN addys and website details should you wish to share them. There's also other crap like favourite films, consoles owned, that sort of thing.

So there it is. I expect this thread to fill up with people bitching about why there's no photographs, or why it's not better and how come we didn't do it like how what you done wanted. Conversely, if you come up with any good suggestions, then they might end up in there as well.

My gift to you. No need to thank me. Thank our webby, he did it.

They may take our stats, but they'll never take Specialobserve!

Actually, along with Sainsbury's they are in the process of buying these locals out and rebranding them "Local" or "Metro".

You know what this reminds me of?

It reminds me of Tesco trying to shut down every small shop in the area by offering the same stuff that the shops do. They're trying to steal all the business!

Don't shop at Tesco, support your local SpecialObserve.co.uk!

Nah, avatars and signatures would be crap. I thought the idea was to optimize the board - not throw more useless crap at us. A picture in the new profile thingy would be good, because when someone posts racy pictures, it won't affect the main site.

Avatars would be bad but having signatures would be cool - it isn't like they disrupt anything on other boards.

*would have the best sig ever*
