We're pleased to announce re-designed Member Profiles today! (If you see any wackiness in your Member area, be sure to read this post on clearing your cookies and cache).

Public profiles
Public profiles allow other members to see your Netscape site activity (story submissions, votes, and comments) more easily than ever.

Notes!
You can now also add Notes to your activity to let others know why you voted on a story, submitted a story, or commented the way you did.

Figure 4. Under each activity on your Public page, you'll be able to post a personal Note for others to read

Improved Friends display
We've improved the way you view your list of Netscape Friends. You'll now see at first glance:

  • Their status (online or offline)
  • If they are mutual friends with you
  • Their Netscape activity statistics

Figure 5. The new friends display. An orange border (along with the orange on/off icon) indicate that a Friend is online. A grey border indicates offline status. The green 'networking' icon in the top right indicates a mutual friendship.

As always, we welcome your feedback on the new layout and Features. We hope you'll agree that the improvements create a much better Member Area experience!
