That's real pretty and all but...

Waking up this morning and preforming my daily QMing regimen, I notice yet another unannounced updated to the site: sleeker, less cluttered profiles.


I'm all for change, just wish it was something more useful

While I am indifferent of these new profiles, I am glad to see the eRep team is still working on this site. The problem I'm having is that this seem yet another change to the site that no one really asked for.

Let's tale the global alert feature as example


Ugh...

Since day one this feature was released, everyone I know was scrambling around for ways to either disable it or hide it all together. It's absolutely ridiculous that we have to resort to third party scripts to get rid of an unwanted feature when the eRep team could literally take five minutes to implement the option and coding for us to disable this ourselves. Not only do I see this as lazy on the eRep side but also eRep opening their userbase to potential account breaches by users using third party scripts.


eRep Stuff++, I love you and all but I know how easy it is for you to get access to my account if you wanted to.

So, to the eRep team, please please please. If you're going to be making any more minors changes to the site, please at the very lease pay attention to what your userbase wants.

If there is actually anyone from the eRep team actually reading this, I'd like to sneak one more quick change/fix that would literally take no more than five seconds. Using Deepchill as example (encounter this issue a while back when trying to find his account URL) if you copying a username on the site, often time it usually starts or ends with an extra space. When pasting this string into the search field (with the extra space) and submitting it, it brings up no results.

Assuming this site is PHP base, it's just a simple solution to just slap a trim() on the variable to fix this problem -- unless there are usernames that does start/end with a space.


Deepchill, where are you?


There you are!

No pretty girl picture today. If I must be sexually deprived, you all are going to have to suffer with me too.
