Getting back to business
Ok, folks. Works started to quiet down lately, so I thought I'd take a stab at the member profile set up. Basically, I'm seeing it as a list of names, fully searchable/filterable form the sidebar. You can click a name to expand it, to get a glance at some details, then click a second link to see the full person. You will also be presented with two other little tools, Send Message and Mark as Friend. Evan, we should be able to this using some fancy Ajax web GUI goodness. Check out www.netvibes.com to see expandable boxes.I'm also proposing a colour-coded networking solution. Basically, people you mark, or people who have marked you as a "Friend" show up in green, friends of your friends are blue, and people to whom you have no connection are purple. Eventually, there prbly wont be any purple left, keeping blue and green in the spotlight.
Here it is. What do you think?

"Very cool. Also, very "Mac-like.""
ya ya. lol, i know.
"I think the user should be able to see the photos and the basic info"
keeping the full info on a seperate, member specific page should allow the pages to load fast (less info all on one, you know) and will give you more tools for each member (added to the sidebar).
I think each person has their own personal profile page, and what I'm showing here is just a directory, with a few details tossed in for "at a glance" browsing.
"The "more" button should be more pronounced"
Ya I just kinda stuffed it in there, it needs some umph
"Width. I think the basic info boxes might need to be wider."
I agree, wholeheartedly.
"4) The basic info should have the following info about each user:
- photo
- First name
- Last name
- F.I. crew member since:"
Ok, sounds good to me.
"Instead of a colour scheme for how each member relates to the user, why not make the colour coded system about member type? Because with the system that you propose, each user would have to coulour code it themselves. This system accomplishes a similar task, and is easily automated."
How do you mean member type? I can''t remember what we discussed on this.
The colour scheme I"m proposing is subjective to the user, so each user will see people's colouring differently, according to how they relate to them. If we make the "mark as friend" process as simple one click thing, it should work.
Also, "Mark as Friend" opens up potential for future features, like, say, for the message board you could "only show friends posts" or for media "only show friends movies," etc. etc.
But it is just an idea, so what do you think? Maybe I could develop a few little logo/badges to indicate member type
