[NEW] Required information

Martin · May 2, 2003

I just changed the style of the default EmuTalk design, and decided to add a new feature that has been needed for a long time: Each user's computer specs. When registering, users are required to enter the following information:

OS, CPU, Video Card, Sound Card, Memory (type and amount). Optionally, they may also provide additional information about their system. Look at mine for an example. For those of you who are already members, I ask you to update your profile.

The main reason I decided to do this is that many of the questions asked at EmuTalk requires system information. I hope you enjoy the change.

Great Idea. I already noticed it so I updated!

Thanks mate! :happy:

That's a good idea, now I can use the signature for something else:

Been there, Done that!

Slougi · May 2, 2003

Done. Testing.

Gent · May 2, 2003

Testing 1,2 erm

Remote · May 2, 2003

Yes, great update Martin...

:emutalk:

Trotterwatch · May 2, 2003

Excellent idea this Martin, updating mine now.

Plisco · May 2, 2003

Thats a much needed update. No one will be posting what are your specs ever again

Martin · May 2, 2003

Oh and moderators, I removed the Awards Hack since it was causing more queries than it was worth, plus it was hardly used.

Allnatural · May 2, 2003

Ack. Sorry, but I don't care for it. Things are already cluttered with big signatures and sig images.

I suppose it does simplify things though, but I'll continue to point to my www for my specs.

[edit] Speaking of www, where's the button?

Martin · May 2, 2003

www = avatar

I suppose I could hide the information for those who haven't added their system specs, but that would kind of ruin the purpose...

Rather than put everything under the sig, would it be possible to put a link that leads to a profile page with spec info? I don't know how much more work that would involve though. Just a thought.

Martin · May 2, 2003

No work at all actually, the info is also available in each person's profile.

Just put in the default configuration as "Duh, I don't know!" for ppl who don't fill in the stats.

I would say disable signatures. Or disable images in sigs + limit size to 2 lines of text.

Plisco · May 2, 2003

Maybe not disable pictures in sigs but maybe limit size/dimensions?

vampireuk · May 2, 2003

Nice marty, the system spec thing is just like asusboards now:happy:

Can you allow a few more letters in OS? My Windows .NET Enterprise Server doesn't fit...
