Edit Profile has no fields
technical, profiles

And the profile itself is just blank.

Just wondering: What is the forum under the hood? I've used a few different ones over the years and it doesn't look familiar.

Hello Morgan, this site is being planned as the uber collection of 7th Sea 2nd Edition stuff.

Traditional Forums like vBulletin and PhpBB were considered too.

But, Drupal was chosen as the technology because it was the most extensible, so we can add Facebook feeds into the site, Reddit feeds. Character Generators, Image galleries and much more.

A lot of work needs doing, styling, etc.

The username problem was me being overwhelmed so not writing custom code to switch from Facebook profiles to Forum ones.

Realizing that's it's probably not a priority, but any estimates on when we'll have profiles or sigs?

I'm considering making a blog post in lieu of a profile, but I'm in no hurry :-)

What content would you like on the Profiles? We have tried to keep personal information to a minimum. We will be happy to accommodate profiles that inspire Characters for the 7th Sea and the Signature option will be included soon. We tried adding Karma Up/Down, but it needs further modifications. Thanks for your patience and advice. ;-)

As for keeping personal info to a minimum, as someone who spent several years as a single mom I appreciate that :-). The easiest thing is to just make all of the fields optional. I was just thinking the usuals: name, location (country and state, or just a free field so people could say Castille if they wanted ^_^), and a box for people to add whatever bio info they'd like. Then they can make it about them, or their characters, as they see fit.
