Profiles and blogs

Post by JayJay » Fri Aug 06, 2010 6:14 pm

They just seem like two different ways of doing the same thing, could confuse some users (I'm a little confused).

Personally I'd recommend removing the Profile section and just keeping the blog, as the blog helps keep the "update" posts separate from the "rubbish" posts, makes it easier to keep track of someones project.

Perhaps put it forwards to the current users?

Why dont you move this post to the suggestions box and get other members feedback?

Woop moved 8-)

Can we get feedback on this please, let us know if you'd prefer to keep them separate or just keep the Blog section for profiles and projects. I think the blog section will make it a LOT easier to keep track of other peoples cars, as well as finding information (anyone remember trying to find specific info on Taffy's build amongst all the other posts :lol:) as comments are kept separate from the updates.

*edit* Added a vote, I think the options are self-explanatory :P

I agree about the confusion, but would people pick up a blog like the would a post in profile section,

I like on puk you can see who has recently done something to the lude, just by looking at recent posts

Yeah I do as well, although TBH I havent yet had a poke around the blogs so I'll reserve judgement just now.

I not really understanding the blog section. Its all higgaldy pigalldy to me at the moment.
I like how the blog is section into different areas. But it that only in relation to my own car? How would i know if someone has updated the blog. WHat about 20 different people updating in the same day how would i view it.

Think i need to spend more time and more people posting and i will come round to it.

I was never a fan of the Prelude profile & Prelude Project section. As they are basically the same thing.

There should be just one section with a title labelled 'Profiles/Projects'
