5 am and I lost track of time! No sleep for Dani!

I made some massive changes to member profiles. Most of the changes are cosmetic, but there are two noticeable differences:

  1. Activity points is now all time instead of just for today, because it was getting a little creepy stalkerish
  2. The top lists are now more integrated into member profiles

Just noticed, the contact info is now hidden... Any specific reason as to why?

I did have to re-enter my info... And the textboxes for the contact info render empty when I go to the edit profile page.

I don't know, the contact info was blank after you told me to check... Thought I hadn't entered them, but halfaw through editing my profile I remembered I had. I then edited my profile again (the Google+ url was too long) and it had cleared the info again.

Hmm ... seriously?! When you go to edit your profile right now, is everything filled out?

I can't anymore either... Perhaps it was only right after the changes you made... Still, it'd be useful if anyone checked their contact info/edited their profile to see if this is happenning... Still, pretty weird

I went back to activity points just being for today. I remembered we don't store all activity points indefinitely due to storage limitations. Oopsies.

You just don't notice all the differences ;) Activity points for all time (yes, I figured out a way), better integration with member rank, and now a screenshot of your webpage if you have one specified in your profile.

The homepage screenshot is nice, but in my profile it shows the screenshot of my department's homepage (Center for Intelligent Machines, McGill), not my homepage. Maybe it is due to the tilde sign in the URL:

Unfortunately I think that's the case.

I think I'm going to go ahead with it! I really feel like I've outgrown the alias "cscgal", which I came up with when I was 17 as the license plate for my first car. (I didn't make it into an Internet alias until about 4 years later.) I'm sick of people thinking it's SCSCgal, CSGal, SCGal, etc ... Usually I get csgal and they leave off the second 'c'. This would fit in line with me changing my email address to dani@daniwebmail.com from cscgal@daniwebmail.com a few months ago.
