New Mini Profile - Look Up When You Login

Hey Everyone,
I'm sure by now some of you noticed that little black bar that follows you around the site and never goes away. Thats the new revised Mini Profile which is still a work in progress. Eventually it will have Notices, Your Upcoming Events (You've RSVPED for), and even quite possibly In Site Mail... WHAT?... yes I'm considering it. I also have in plan to highlight your progress towards advancement. But thats going to take a bit more time to create. Pretty much the new mini profile will be your quick nav to all the important stuff on the site. It will get you to where you should be going regardless of the page your on. It's my hopes that I can condense some of the other nav elements even further and begin streamlining the site a bit more. When the progression system is in place Green numbers will mean that your requirement has been met. Grey Numbers will be Non-Required for advancement, and gold numbers will be required for advancement. I will also be updating the Family Tree with this setting getting rid of the red which nobody can read anyways. Stay tuned for more.

BTW: you can click on the rift icon to get to the Rift Site, The GW icon to get to the GW site. I'll be throwing a Gaiscioch icon to get you there and if you play football with me you'll have a football icon. Those will quick link you to the other portals.

I like the little bar at the top. Easy to check out, but discretely out of the way at the same time. You do a real good job with webpages, want a semi-knowledgeable trainee with too much time on her hands? LOL! So is this going to be fullblown email or a private messaging system? I had Private messaging for members to contact each other on the websites I had for my guilds, but then again it was never more than 50 members so not hard to deal with. =)

Hard part will be when some idiot decides to try to abuse it. NOTHING will be 100% private on this. Draios will have access to moderate and take action on private messages. I wish it was as easy as trusting everyone to behave but in the history of Gaiscioch Pre Rift we kicked 8 people in 9 years. Since we came to Rift we've kicked over 20. Times are changing and the Barrens mentality is alive and well in todays MMO. I simply cant trust people enough to let them have a completely private system. Most likely the way we'll have it is that a user can flag a message and when they get flagged they show in the queue for moderators to read and take action if necessary. It's an unfortunate truth but it's the day and age we live in. If it can be abused or exploited it will.

it typically refers to a large collection of epeening trolls. Nothing good every comes out of it. Just a whole lot of hurtful comments, burnt relationships, and /ignoring

I really like it! (Well, not epeening trolls, but the new mini bar...) :)

Great work! Thanks for the site, and the time you put into it! PS OMG I know what you mean about all the trolling, and BS. Makes you miss the early days of MMO's then I think about how old I am getting lol.
