One feature people request occasionally is to know the ratings of people making comments in the forums, etc. So we're going to make a cool little rollover popup for when you hover over someone's name in the forums (and other places). What things should we include? Here is what I think:
i know some of that will be redundant with info given in the forum (location, member since, etc), but this will be used in lots of different places.
thoughts?
Sounds good! Although my tactics trainer rating is quite voltile - I would prefer to see an average over last 30 days or so if it's not too hard to do.
I don't think the LIVE rating is necessary. ;)
great idea
My tactics trainer tends to be very volatile too, anywhere from 1700-1200 depending on various factors.
Perhaps the average suggested above would be more appropriate.
A lot of that would be useful (maybe only to satisfy the reader's curiosity) but I know I often go to the poster's profile to learn a little about them.
Would it be practical to set out that list as a multiple-choice poll so that we could vote for the items we like by clicking a button?
The "Tactics Trainer Rating" and the "Member Since" are not necessary IMHO.
mmm, yes I am edging towards the "tactics trainer rating is not needed" myself. I like it to be nice and personal so that there is no pressure to get everyone right.
what about something like this when you rollover their name?
Where else will it be, apart from on the forums? Member points could be useful if they are not already in the other destinations.
Edit: I almost forgot, it looks brilliant so far. Good work!
If you could fit Member since and Last login somewhere, that would be really cool.
I think 'member since' and 'points' wouldn't both be needed. 'Last login' is very useful IMO. Until live chess really takes off a BIG way I think the 'turn-based' chess rating is better.
I like the example you gave, although I'd like to see 'member points' there somewhere if possible.
I like erik's idea (post #9) to sonofPearl's idea (post #12) ... ie post #'s 9,10,11,12 :)
I like the idea
I like the mockup you have.
Me too
I think u should also include the chess live rating.
nice one Erik
erik's mockup looks brilliant with Ms Goletiani - I wonder what it'd look like for your run-of-the-mill member here :) {I know it will loook similar, but you know what I mean :) )
imo tactics-trainer is a trainer not an indicator of something except to oneself - it shouldn't be declared or people won't be able to derive full benefit from it.
Ideally there should be an option that others except staff can't see my tactics-trainer rank ... or is there one? I'll check.
