Not sure if this has been mentioned before. But would it be possible to make a status for updating what you are doing, etc. Sorta like MySpace, Facebook, etc.


Example:
Posts: 123
Status: online/offline
Gender:Male/Female
Location: Sky
Age: 123
Joined: Day/Month/Year
Rep: 123
Status: Set Status here. +

(NOTE: + is for opening a text field to type in your status. Then re-pressing the + or putting a submit button underneath it to set the status.)

Of course it can be optional, and added through the Manage Templates area. and a Max of 200-300 characters or of the Forum Admin's choosing.

though i know where your coming from, i'm willing to bet the main argument here is "just use the additional mini-profile fields", though I will make it noted right now that the fields are limited since you can't call an individual field, you call all or none, and with it being like that it makes it hard to properly format a mini-profile, as well i'm assuming he is talking about having default options in a drop down menu, which the additional mini-profile fields do not have the ability to do.

I rest my case as for the request i'm all for it.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to call a specific additional profile field in your mini-profile template. I just don't think I documented it anywhere

Well Ross, it doesn't help anyone if you don't let anyone know about it


Edit: ok i just look at it is there saying how to do it. though the system still lacks the dropdown menu function.

I didn't say drop down as in choosing between choices. I mean like Twitter. Updating what your day was like or what ever.

and I don't mean using the Addition Profile Options either. because then the user has to go in and edit their profile in order to change their status.

I mean like It could be in a post too. where it shows the + sign or what ever in the MP, and then a field appears underneath it, you type in something then press + or what ever again, and it sets the status, and everyone can see.

I do like the idea, mainly for the fact that allot of people are always doing display name [away]. If there is the extra profile field option, that is your best bet, though I do like the sound of it being an integrated feature.
