New Features for Stat Cards and Profiles
Posted: November 15th, 2009, 12:00 am
I am pleased to announce that new features have now been added for Stat Cards and character profiles! These two new features are: character avatars, and a character favorites system - both very interesting new features.
Character Avatars
Members are now able to select avatars for their characters. These avatars will be displayed as small images on Stat Cards, profiles, and some other areas (currently only on Stat Cards). To choose an avatar for a character of yours, simply go to that character's Photo Gallery Management area, find an image you like, and then click the "Make Avatar" link under that image. The image will then be made the character's avatar, and you can delete or change this avatar at any time. Note: An image chosen to be an avatar will be resized to a small square 62 pixels by 66 pixels in size. So, you should choose a photo that would look alright if it was resized to a square shape.
Here is an example of an avatar on a Stat Card:
To start choosing avatars for your characters, head right to your characters' photo galleries in the UCP and choose your favorite photo!
Character Favorites System
Members are now able to add other members' characters to their own personal "favorites list." If you see a character that you like and you'd like to remember that character, simply click the icon on the "Options" menu of that character's profile. That will add the character to your favorites list. You can view your favorites list in the UCP here. You are also able to view the list of members who have added your characters to their favorites lists. You can view this list of members in the UCP here. You can remove characters from your favorites list at any time, either from the UCP, or from the character's profile by clicking the icon.
So, those are the new features! We hope that you will find them useful, and we encourage you to make use of these two new features as much as possible. If you notice any bugs, please report them by posting in the Bug Reports forum. To discuss these new features, you may reply to this topic directly.
Enjoy!
