Wow, you guys are making a lot of changes lately to our account page. One thing that is missing is some way to access our messages. I realize there is a tab on the navigation menu on the side, but if you could, please add one on our personal page.

Most of what you're doing seems to be attempting to clear clutter and to make the pages aesthetically pleasing, but I personally liked the old setup that had a direct link near the top of the skin (FFXI skin at least) that was an envelope looking link directly to our PM's.

I'm also unsure about whether I like the new changes to the "personal page." Having the last three threads you posted in, a link to that post, and the last three threads you viewed seems like a bit much. I wonder if, as an additional premium feature, you could make it so the user could turn that sort of information off? Or give us the option to personalize our "personal page?"

It's not a huge deal, of course, but something about people seeing that much of my activity bothers me.

Edit:
Wait... maybe the last three threads viewed aren't available to everyone else?

Also, whenever I click on the account settings on my personal page, something weird happens to the "Premium User" link at the top. It makes some weird icon or something show up. It goes away, but I thought I'd bring it to y'alls attention, since I figured that wasn't supposed to happen.

What was wrong with the last change to our account page? I actually liked that because it wasn't f'n cluttered on my screen.

I added a PM link, should be pretty easy to spot.

Correct, you can only see recently viewed threads on your own page. For others, you just get the recent posts.


The main goal of the change was to merge the old user/account page and poster page into a single page, which should hopefully prove less confusing in the long run.

Not sure if auto-renewal of premium subscription is still available, but I can't see any information on whether or not I'm signed up for auto-renewal. Would be pretty handy with that information available somewhere.

'Account Settings' on the left in the same box as your avatar.

The last set up was much cleaner, atleast on the account page. Not so much anymore.

I see nothing about auto-renewal. Does this mean it's off?

You should be seeing something like this:

Speaking of the user page, anyone care to fix the variable that isn't being set after being initialized to 0? :-)

The bookmarks list shows, for everyone, "Viewing 1 to 0 of (X) entries."

This is what I see:

I can't tell if I have auto-renewal on or not, and there's no way to turn it on or off.

Found the problem. You should be able to see the auto-renew toggle now.

Hmm, that is rather different. Honestly, I haven't used the Account page at all ever since someone added the "My Posts" link to the side bar. The old layout had a cleaner look and was a bit easier to use. Also, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but even though I don't have premium I can still play around with the avatars page. It even shows the last avatar I had when my premium ran out on the main page. They don't show up when I post, but it could be a bit confusing to new folk.
