I've really hated how the user profile page looks, ever since the beginning. So here's an attempt to make it a bit more "themed", hopefully you like it.
It's not final, but it will be something along those lines/design. If it turns out the graphics sucks too much, then we will look into doing something about it, but I think they will do for now.
Any ideas on what else to "add" on the page, any features etc. you would like (except for PM's).?
I think it's nice actually, maybe you could make like a special window for the picture, now it's just like pasted beside it, you could do like an old photobook style window .

Nice and clear. You could add something in '' status ''. I asked myself why this site doesn't have a series of levels to reach depending on posts in forum. For example, '' pair '' until 100 posts, '' two pairs '' from 101 until 200 etc.etc.

We had that before, but it was removed half a year ago, or something. Nobody really cared about it and it just took up space Also, there wasn't really point in having it as it would only depend in amount of posts, and somebody who makes 2 post a day might as important as somebody with 100 daily posts, so...
Well we might get it back sometime later, but I think right now we would prefer to work towards a bit more advanced "levelling" system, where it's not only forum posts that counts, but maybe also amount of positive feedback received, points earned etc etc. We don't know yet

well i find a PM for Admin would be nice tho. in case you have serious question of course. i understand that by 1000 users you would be to busy reading them all. but maybe there could be a restriction, like 200 post´s and up are able to PM you. and if people PM you for things they could of find out by them self, in threads/rules/faq etc, then they get suspended for 2 weeks to PM you or something.
edit: oh, i find the user profile clear and simple, actually no need to change imo. but the screen you posted looks better tho

Manuedo, I know what you meant But a levelling system based entirely on posts has cons and pros. I know it's used on alot of sites, but I also see it removed from sites after a while. And I don't recall anybody mentioning it be missing since we removed it, and uptil now
T3ddyKGB, Well, we have a (live) support for that matter, which can help out with pretty much everything or supply a direct e-mail address to whoever might be able to help And as long as we still get 1+ "report"-messages a day that contains a post that should have been posted using the "Reply" button instead, then I don't think people will understand that contacting admin directly about something is only if it's VERY IMPORTANT. I mean, try click the "Report" button under any post and see what happens, how can people think they are supposed to enter their reply in that box (or is it just me?)
shokaku, Of course we use old books to do the transfer of bonus requests too, all this thingy with databases and e-mails is way overrated, pigeons for mailing and pencils for accounting rules
cyclonisz2, Friends-list or something like that also crossed my mind, but we still have a rule that says it's not allowed to post contact information in the forum, so I'm not sure how many individuals in here would be "friends" if they can't speak anywhere else than BRM forum anyway.
I also thought of some kind of "tagwall" (guestbook) where users can post at other users profile page, but then again, what's the purpose and why/when would it be needed? Isn't that something mainly for dating sites anyway?
------------ Alrite, the new profile page is now live

really like that, I don't know what the other members think about it, but I think it's a good extra to the page.
