Could an extra field be added to the User Profiles...?
This would be "Computer System description".
Then users could post questions and would not need to enter details about their systems into every posting.
Anyone replying to the query could then just look at the users profile to see their exact hardware configuration.
I think that this would also encourage people to build a more exact description of their system (they only have to type it once and can amend it if needed).
Also by using more than 1 field it would enable you to guide the users into what key system details to enter.
What do you think..?
No, no fields can be added. However, the signature field - in user profiles - could be used instead.
At the end a is the text I copied into that field just to see how much it could hold. It can actually hold more lines than I've included - but I got bored pressing Ctl-V to paste in my name.
However, if people do use their signature for this purpose, I wouldn't like to see it being included as a general rule - only when absolutely necessary.
Oh, and please make comments such as these in the Computer Video forum, rather than in any of the others. Pretty please.
Cheers

Quite a lot of room here, then, for PC config details! Bob C
Sorry about the location of this Bob, it just didn't seem to fit neatly into any particular topic, so I put it where most people seem to visit.
I'd thought that putting the details somewhere where they could be queried would be best, rather than putting them at the nottom of every Email.
However the I suppose that the Signature field could used for this purpose.
Do you think that it's worth suggesting to everyone..?

How about the 'Interests' field. It holds about 200 characters.
