It would be neat if there was a page that acted as a central hub to everyones project. I'd love to be able to click on someone's name on the forums, and be linked to a page detailing what they're currently working on. Thoughts?

Sounds like the announcement forum, or like the journal codehead mentioned earlier.

Yep, it's a nice idea and something we had in the past.

Journals and user pages were quite cool for a while. I think the growth of blogs probably killed them off. I suppose we could highlight user pages by putting them on the landing page. A new namespace for Projects might help there too. Clint's landing page code would make it fairly simple to pull the info from the DB.

I have thought about putting WordPress on the server as it's far better suited to Journals than the Wiki. However, I've never run it as a multi-user platform and it'll also mean that there will be three logins to remember for one site.

My first thought was 'user signature' below each post. It wouldn't help me though, as I have them disabled :p

I think most people with projects have links to their websites / blogs in their signature.

As in you can't add a signature to your posts?

Try now. We had to disable signatures for new users for spam, but you should be able to add a signature in your profile after you've managed to post a few times without being banned.

As in, I have the "display signatures below posts" turned off, as I find them annoying.

On the other hand, I have no problems with telling others what I am doing ;)

Edit: It seems I missed to toggle an option, hopefully it is now attached.

Really?

On this forum we have a strict no-image policy for signatures, and we urge users to keep their signatures to 4-5 lines at most.

Even so, you find them annoying still? (I ask out of curiosity primarily -- we want to keep things clean around here... but I'm wondering how reasonable or unreasonable you are about such things. )

Oh, you have a much better policy then.


Such a policy sounds quite sane to me.


I never even saw the signatures. Immediately after getting an account, I went through the options to set them to my preferences.
In that round, I just turned them off based on my experiences with another board.

Understandable. I've been to many boards that seem to have lots of three-word posts, but with signatures with animated banners, flash embeds, and all kinds of horrid stuff.

You're safe here, though.
