handfiler Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Why are they not visible to other members? This runs counter to what most other forums do and to me makes absolutely no sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetjq Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Agreed but that information is normally in the sig. For some reason the majority of members on this forum choose not to fill out that profile information. It can really help zero in on an issue when someone posts without identifying the year/model of whatever it is they're talking about. Besides that, it's fun noting what others drive/ride. A Roush and a '99 Lowrider eh? Cool! Edited August 29, 2019 by Gadgetjq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handfiler Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I agree it can be helpful and I filled out the location information in the user settings but its only visible to me. Can you see my location info? I cant see yours. Ya they're a fun pair to ride/drive. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 It’s just a default setting somewhere - they’re not hidden on purpose. I’ll ask Robert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Can you ask Robert about a dark theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly we were told when signing up for access that only you and moderators could see your location and interests. Unfortunately turning that feature on at this point so 'everyone' could see the info might be unpopular with some who were assured not 'everyone' could see it. Way above my pay grade though. Traditionally members have been encouraged to put information like that in their sig (where your alternative vehicles are shown).

akirby Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 If you put it in your signature then it's visible no matter what changes in the software, so that is a better solution. I can only see it when I go to your profile (not within topics) and I'm pretty sure that's the same for anybody. I gave Robert the link to this topic so hopefully he will chime in on that and the dark theme shortly. Nothing I can do about either one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I can now see the region & vehicle of members on both the desktop & mobile versions of the site. Thanks for the update, really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 We turned those two feature requests on. As for the dark theme, I totally agree and I am note sure why after of these years it's not part of the software! Very frustrating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar302 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I remember the details were shown, like region, number of posts and most importantly their vehicle (model/year). That was helpful, I don't see them anymore. Is it a setting I'm missing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 It changes every time the software gets updated. I gave up trying to keep track of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Might be best to encourage folks to put it in their signature line if it keeps disappearing from below the avatar. Edit: I's still showing in mine. Edited March 17, 2020 by 1004ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 It only shows your own, not others. You could ping Robert to try and change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached screenshot is what I see (as akirby stated, only my details show for me). @robertlane, Can you please look into this? It was really helpful. Thanks. Another issue, were't ads disabled for Platinum members? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handfiler Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I added the information to my signature as 1004ron suggested. That is the easiest way around the issue and it's permanent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1004ron Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Best to add the vehicle detail to the signature in addition to the profile area below the avatar - some forum updates wipe out the info displayed below the avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
