It would be good if "About Me" in the profile were limited in length, given that it shows up on the left of the thread. Someone could write an entire autobiography there and it would be overwhelming, especially when reading the forum threads.

Alternatively, "About Me" could be changed to be only visible when viewing a user's full profile and not on the left of the forum threads.

I'm gonna have to agree with this suggestion. There should be some kind of limit to how long About Me sections in posts can be. I don't mind that some users enjoy writing and have a lot to share (I know I enjoy writing myself!), but an overly-long "about me" that appears in every post the user makes can get pretty tiresome to scroll through if it's too long, especially on mobile. It's really better suited for a quick primer about who you are or what you do rather than a full-length biography.

Definitely agree! Making it not appear would probably be best, there is so much extraneous stuff under a user's name, when all you really need to know is 'who wrote this'.

Yeah, no reason to see that with every reply, especially if people are going to get wordy (and recently, Tumblry) with it.


Wow, that was surprisingly difficult to get to not appear in topics and only in the About Me. You'd think it would be clearly labeled to do it as such, but when I removed it from displaying in topics, it just stopped display altogether.


Guess I can't blame the Old Guard on this one. I know it wasn't always this way, and now I guess I know why it started becoming that way.


I think the Custom Ranks serve purpose enough for what one'd want in a short About Me, so those can just be used instead and more verbose blurbage can take place by clicking through to the profile.
