I can't change it every last time I go back and forth. I have two separate homes. I don't see why it's such a big deal to just make it so that I can enter in two fields.
Having more fields than there are will clutter the left side of posts more than it already does.

Jesse is exactly right. We changed the area to make it less cluttered, and more uniform. You will only be able to enter one ID, and that's it. If you post in the tech support area, just make sure to indicate the ID number you are talking about.

If you really want to use the ID field just put 22840 since you live in Lansing most of the time. Or, what you have in your signature is sufficient too. Didn't think of that.

Isn't it possible to put a comma like 24688, 24686?

Correct. One star in the profile field is quite sufficient

Have you considered adding an "interests" profile field yet? This can just appear in the profiles and not in everyone's posts like the STAR-related fields. I think it's a great way to get more info on our fellow forum posters.

A lot of other boards have this, including the old TWCC boards.

Why is getting more info of fellow posters important?  Why don't we have a field where you can post your SSN#, street address and who you slept with last night?

Thank you all for the adjustments as I think they're better now for us and the STAR Team. B)  We don't need to add any more to the profile fields as there's already a lot on the left side of everyone's posts.

Hey Tyler... I noticed that when you can select your STAR in your profile. you have the IntelliStar 2 and the regular IntelliStar. I thought I read something on some other forums on the internet that if the company has TWC HD, they need to Intellistar 2 (That is, if I read your post correctly). So, how would that work if people had both? (And it may have been dslreports.com).

If people have both, they will know when you input the HD STAR ID number.
