CatManThree Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 After somewhat recently returning to the forums after being incredibly inactive for a while, I decided to update my profile. So uh, while doing that I discovered that the available methods to show in the Contact Info section are hilariously outdated. MSN? AIM? Yahoo? WHAT!? As funny as this is, its kind of ridiculous that these are still here, They were confusing four years ago when I first joined this place and are still just as if not more. So, is there any chance this feature could be updated to have things likeΒ Discord, Steam, or Twitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amino is... an app from which you access several other groups or something. It's weird and dumb. Tiktok is also used but nope. 9 hours ago, Integrity said: actually this isn't hardcoded to the forums, it's just fields i can change in the admin CP pretty easily and literally never thought to I imagine so, what's an admin CP though, control panel?

I am quite familiar with it as I have been an active user (for some reason) on there for the past couple years and was a mod on the FE amino at one point. It tries to combine aspects of reddit and tumbler together and its as weird. Β Anyway so whats the status on this whole thing? You guys gonna update it?

Benice Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I sorta live under a rock and don't know what people actually use, but Instagram, Email, Reddit and Facebook all seem to be rather popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter is used a bunch by artists and youtubers. Facebook is a nice way to contact someone in an accessible way or to have a quick conversation if Discord isn't available. That's pretty much it.

π ππ§π«π’ππ₯ Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Discord, Twitter and Steam should be fine. i would eventually suggest other platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, Deviantart and Instagram, but that would be more oriented to "channelΒ promotion" rather than being contact methods.
