I just wanted to drop everyone an update to let you know that if you haven't already, you should really log in to the site and check out the "Your Profile" option. I've been busting my butt in the backend here to play with profiles, and I think you'll like what's available-- but it won't show up on your profile until you start fussing with it! Here's some of what I've done:n

nProfile: There are four tabs; one contains standard stuff (primary fandom, favorite manga, favorite BL manga, etc); one offers a place to list some of your favorite links, one is labeled "My TMI" (where you can share your favorite kinks, fictional or otherwise), and finally there's an option called "My Page." In "My Page" you can put whatever you want, using either a WYSIWYG editor or hand-coding your own HTML (that setting is under "Contact Info.") It's just a nice little free-for-all for anything you want to include that I haven't already made a spot for.n

nConnections: When you visit someone's profile, you can use the "Connections" menu at the top to arrange a connection with someone-- basically like "friending" someone. You can also classify the connection; some of the ones I've got listed are "Seme/Uke," "Writer/Beta," "Roleplay Buddies," etc.n

nOther Stuff: Each profile now sports a fancy-schmancy guestbook, so that you can say hi to someone. (You can also send people a PM through the site via the "message" button on their profile.) And there's also a tab for forum info, like what topics you're subscribed to and what your recent posts have been.n

nUpcoming: I'm fussing around with a few things just to make things go smoother and prettier, but a couple of features I'm working on for the profiles include a book list where you can share your own personal BL library with everyone on the site, and also I'm looking at a plugin that will let people attach a flag for their home country or state on their profile.n

nIf you want to offer up a feature idea, request something be changed, or just keep up with whatever little changes I'm making, we have a forum thread just for that right here. Oh, and if you want to see what a profile can look like, click here to see mine.
