As I understand it, every user has two cells: the old FAQ cell and the new "user info" cell. These are two separate entities, right? I was just wondering if the new cells are eventually going to replace the old cells, and if we will be able to add subpages to them, etc, or if the two cells are going to remain separate and independent. If the former, what are the precise plans, and if the latter, I would like to make the following suggestion... I think it is kind of odd to have two "cells," especially when they both serve completely different purposes. Technically, the difference in purpose is not very confusing, but metaphorically speaking it is. The new "cells" strike me more as "patient files" rather than actual cells--they contain basic information about the user. The old cells, though, are where we live, and where we show off whatever we want to show off. I just think it would make more sense to differentiate between the two. I don't really think the current setup should change, just the nomenclature. Rather than having: "Cell #2031, inhabited by an inmate who seems to answer to 'Suho1004'," I would suggest something like: "Patient File #2031 - Suho1004." In terms of the Asylum metaphor, the information that follows would make a lot more sense this way (date of arrival, diagnosis... it all fits perfectly). We could also add a field where inmates could post a link to their FAQ cells. So, whaddya think? I'm going on the assumption that the two "cells" are going to remain separate, but I suppose if there are plans to merge them in the future this would all be moot... ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] \| [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=270]Cell 270[/url] \| [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/1213]Sig Rotator[/url] \| Keeper of the Juicy Bits Loading...
