PurpurPhönix he/him Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I'm even a millennial (a young one admittedly but still) and I've never heard of ICQ or Jabber, and I definitely don't use the rest of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Yes, we can do that. Which would people like to be listed? I do think if we remove a field it's gone for everyone, so we may not want to remove all of these, but yeah these are pretty old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Sedai she/her Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Bumping this because I still think it's a great idea. The current ones are pretty old, I've literally only heard of Skype. Discord, WhatsApp, Twitter, AO3, Goodreads, and Reddit are some sites I think people are more likely to be on. Maybe a field for a user's Coppermind profile as well? One downside is that it would mess up all the silly acronyms people put in there. @Chaos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe boxes for things like the Coppermind, Discord, and Reddit could be added instead of replacing the old ones? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argenti he/him Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I haven't heard of any of these other Yahoo and skype (Neither of which I use). But boxes should be added. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Leaf Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Okay, so I know some of this has been covered but I think the following would be quite nice, and I don't suggest that we remove what we currently have. Discord, (Lots of Sharders are on Discord, so this would make sense) Reddit Phone Number, (I don't think I would include this but maybe a few people would) Other, (Basically an open field for some form of contact information) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Platypus Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 I would say just to do the "other" tab instead of all that. and I'd say keep the old ones too, just in case people want it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is forcing you to use it. But a lot of other people do. I feel like if we are updating these to be modern, TikTok MUST be included. If not you're basically saying to a new generation they don't matter. 2 hours ago, Treamayne said: What I would like to see: Coppermind: [text box] Application Based: [multi-line textbox] - user labelled Web Based: [multi-line textbox] - user labelled Website URL (Blog, Channel, etc.): [multi-line textbox] - user labelled Why define specifics when it results in so many empty fields? I am pretty sure we cannot do this suggestion in the software, but I'd need to check. You are right, the amount of fields is a problem, which is why only big things should be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
