Idea.

If we were to create a Special Reserve interactive homepage for each user, what would you like to see on it? And I don't just mean the individual stats pages that you have at the moment, I'm talking things like:

o A friends list so you can click through to see your mates' details and when and where he last posted.

o Recommended products determined by past purchases.

o The last 5 topics posted in your forum of choice.

o Latest news streamed directly onto the page.

o Perhaps some flash-based arcade games and the latest high scores, with maybe a prize for the best score each week.

That sort of stuff, all on the one homepage. If we were to do something like this, what kind of stuff would you want on it?

Not saying we are going to do this, y'know... just maybe

EDIT: Remember, this is to be your personal homepage, not something that everyone else will be able to see. There won't be a lot of point having, say, a photo of yourself on there if only you can see it.

Snuggly, what if we just have all of the features you gave as examples, seems pretty good to me.

No avatars, no smileys, no signatures. Personal bugbears of mine. No changes at all to the main boards, relax.

Although why the hell are people mentioning them when they have nothing to do with this personal home page idea?
Fools.

Please, never, ever let scummy avatars, signatures, or "proper' smilies onto the site. It would ruin everything.

Order status things - say you've ordered a game, it'd be nice to see where it is.

Of course, old purchases wouldn't need to be shown, but whatever.

It'd also be nice to have a message inbox kind of thing, where homeboys and homegirls can message you if they need to question and don't have any other form of contact. Would be nice.

More stats would also rule. Word per post, posts per forum etc. would make it more interesting.

Avatars would be okay-ish, but please, whatever you do, don't make signatures. And, if you do, only make it text - god, I HATE big flashy page filling, 1GB signatures. I really do.

Favourite Posters latest posts would also be nice, so you could see where wimmel and Stridman last posted without having to scour the PS2 longest thread attempt.

Announcements would come under the news, which would also be good (would be great if you could specify what news, like XBOX and GC for example, you see).

Word.

Recently dispatched orders from, say, the last week or something displayed?

The wish list idea is good.

You could make it so if the game's already out it would tell you if there were any new special deals on any of them.
