User profiles

ocdropzone · 12-18-2007, 10:21 AM

Just wondering why if you try to open up a user's profile when they have been the last one to post in a thread you can't open it up if you want to send them a pm or email? It works fine if you click on their user name if they aren't the last one to post...No big deal, just wondering...

Also how come YT does not have a list of user names?

Heres the members list: http://www.yotatech.com/members/list/ Found under helpful links.

As far as your other problem, I'm not understanding it. I just opened your profile up just fine.

Guess part of it was random thoughts after working all night long...
Thanks for the link to the member's list.

Usually if you scroll over a member's name (if not the last poster) five options will come up (send PM, send email, find more post, add to buddy list, view public profile) with out having to click on it...stupid I know..

I think I've always had to click on the username to pull that up.

That is only if they do not have an avatar.
Try it, you will see.

Pop the mouse over a member who is avatarless and you get the drop down list.
A member who has an avatar no dice, you must click their name or avatar.

Corey, he is correct (referring to his first post), I tried to click on your name and nothing happened. Everyone elses gives me a drop down list. I click on your avatar and I get your profile. Now I don't get a drop down if I just scrowl over their name, I do have to click it.

***Corey*** · 12-18-2007, 05:32 PM

Paul, I have never been able to get a drop down list from scrolling over a member who has an avatar.
I have to click their name to get that drop down list.

Now if I scroll over a member without an avatar, I get the drop down list.

I can click on your name since you are the last person to post here, and I get the drop down list.
If I click your avatar, I get your profile.

As far as I know, it has been this way since day one.
It is like that on all VB forums I use.

Now I just tried it over on I8HMUD's site in this thread, and I scrolled over Toledo FJ's name without an avatar, and it did not pop open a menu.

Some forums are setup differently, and adding stuff can often change settings too.
