We have revamped the Viewpoints profile page!


Exciting news! We launched a huge redesign of the profile page tonight. Say hello to new functionality and features-a lot of the ones you have been asking for!

You now have a place called My Home which is basically the center of YOUR Viewpoints universe. You can track all important stuff there like: Your inbox messages, your stats, your discussion board threads, and all your reviews.

To get your feet wet... We suggest visiting My Home and get to know the following sections:

  • About Me - Tell us about you so we can connect you to other members with similar interests. (These are all new features-so you definitely want to jump in and do these!)
  • Friends & Fans - Check out our 4 new ways to make new friends! Meet people in your state, people with similar I AM tags and more!
  • Profile SiteMap (the link to it is called MORE...) - A simple snapshot of all the elements that make up your profile.

The major highlights are: (drum roll please)

  • Ability to mark "private" comments to others. These messages will not appear publicly on the site.
  • You can add more photos to your profile page than ever before. And, your review photos are now on your photos tab
  • Scribbles functionality will be more like a blog with dated entries that are easier to track and more reader-friendly
  • Ability to track threads you're in on the discussion boards more easily. You will have a feed of the threads you have commented on that have new posts
  • Find friends by state, common interests and similar I Am tags
  • Recommend friends to other members
  • Track all your friends activity including new reviews, message board posts, comments, photos, and even blog entries!

As always, we're all ears for feedback so tell us what you like and don't like!

Also, Visit Matt's blog post for a detailed rundown of all the new features with direct links to each one.
