ok boonex.......this profile thing is waaaay out of balance.....you are forgetting the profile concept...."the profile" is of the person......get rid of all other crap on the page and use the top bars for that info......it does not need to be in a million places...(JUST LIKE THE DROP DOWNS THAT GET IN EVERYONES WAY...USELESS).....I don't want to see the latest photos on everyones page..........the stats that take up the whole page (wasted space)should be on teh left.....or shortened.........the see more persons photos and video and music should be atleast half of the page.........these are not business profiles .......these are personal profiles.........when you go to a persons profile ....you want to see "THEIR VIDEOS ONLY" THERE PHOTOS ONLY: THERE MUSIC ONLY....THERE INTERESTS .......THERE STATS.......EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM.......GET THE OTHER JUNK OFF THE PAGE AND MAKE THE PROFILE SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE IF YOU CAN'T GET THE LAYOUT.......YOU HAVE PLENTY OF THINGS TO PUT ON A PROFILE.....FAVORITE ACTIVITYS AND GROUPS....PROFILE STATS.....EMPLOYMENT......FAMILY....EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!!! ; )

I agree with you about the profile thing. But the thing is depending who you ask some people will say the new dolphin is already too much like a dating site, and they want it for business purposes. I want to use mine in the same way myspace or facebook uses theirs. So I agree with what you are saying bout the profiles but i dooubt they will change it. But who knows.

It's all subjective and up to a site owners opinions. Many people feel that more is less, and others want to see features on top of features with yet more features on every page. It's simply impossible to please everyone.

But no matter what you want or think about Dolphin, as a product Dolphin also has to "compete" against sites like Myspace, numerous dating sites, Youtube, classmates, Corporate homepages, etc. etc. etc. As a result, Boonex really does need to make a bunch of features see more highly visible ... in order to be able to attract members from some of those other sites too ... FOR YOU (members who might expect to see a lot more "stuff" than some Dolphin owners have any use for). Gotta have a bit of that bling bling effect ...

Personally, I believe the start page has wayyyyyy to much crap and not enough "custom stuff" that site owners can be more create with on their own, with more modules that serve strictly a customized site purpose. On the other hand, I believe that member profiles, both public and private views, should have as many options as humanly possible since this will provide "perfection" to truly create your very own special world for your members. Having said that though, those viewable functions should then be on/off functions via super admin toggles.

But yeah, I think member stuff should stay strictly in member areas only. In Dolphin 6.xx that was already a problem, the confusion that's created by public albums, user albums, private albums, gallery here, gallery there, etc. If Dolphin is going to continue with those things, then it's imperative that any super admin (particularily people who've never designed a large hompeage before - planning on using Dolphin) be able to have instant tool tips for such confusing items. It took me days to figure out what's what when I installed 6.14 and before then I never felt that I was stupid. Dolphin can make anyone feel pretty silly though and that's why at least a good tooltip system will be quite benefical for most people.

Jerismith, you need to clean your keyboard. It appears as though your Caps Lock key is stuck.
