"Interests" Profile Field?
« on: March 21, 2010, 03:06:53 PM »
I always wondered why this forum didn't have an interests profile field. Could you possibly create a custom profile field for interests? I think this would be a great way to find out what our fellow members are interested in.

I think that's a great idea, but to be honest it makes it even more cluttered imo.  :thinking:

I like thunderstorms.
I'm a moderator at another forum, so my
activity is not as awesome as you think.
Ask for my skype, tumblr and/or twitter.

It doesn't have to appear on the side profile (next to the posts) like the other profile fields do.

Sounds great, I'm in. I know it's  :offtopic: , but couldn't we also add location (for instance for me, "Downtown Lansing") onto the side profile as well?
TWC in...
Lansing: Comcast, Channel 36, STAR ID 22840
E. Lansing: Comcast, Channel 40, STAR ID 22842
Lansing Area: Broadstripe, Channel 40, STAR ID 25349
Current STAR count: 32. Be sure to see my channel for links to all the uploads!

IMO, that isn't as important as the STAR information already listed. They just need the ID's to look things up.
