Its the equivalent of the Member No. section you see on most other forums.  :biggrin:
No, the member number is completely different. The member number is the user account number, based on how many members there are. I.E., you're member number 1 (because you created the board), I'm member number 2 (I was the first member to sign up), and it goes up from there.

Its the same in that its an indicator of when you registered.  ;)

I like the feature, but it looks cluttered.
Yeah, I agree. How about shortening "date registered" to "joined" and remove the time (just have the date)? That may make it less cluttered.

I don't know how Stephen altered it, so he can do that if he wants.  :biggrin:

I changed the text, but I cannot remove the time. :no:

That's alright, it looks good enough to me.  B)

I've just added a mod that adds the board guidelines to the menu bar at the top of the screen, much like on IPB forums. The rules of the forum are to be found there from now on. The rules thread will remain, but it will no longer remain stickied.  :biggrin:

I've re-added some of the TWC profile fields that I had previously removed. But only some of them. And they are completely optional. You can fill them out if you wish, or ignore them if you do not want to fill them out.  B)

That's because AFAIK that info is only used at TWCC for the purposes of the STAR tea. I have no STAR team here, so I don't see the need for the ID number.

Do you guys think I should add in the ID number field?

On a seperate note, I've tidied up the date registered field a bit. It looks a little less cluttered now.  B)

Is it possible to have "Member Since" on its own line?

I'm not sure to be honest.  :thinking:

Should "Cable Provider" be changed to "Cable/Sat. Provider" seeing as how DirecTV and Dish Network aren't Cable providers? ;)

Yah, I agree. "TV Provider" would make a good name.
