New Member Profiles

We have just released a major update for your member profiles. The new profiles include some fancy new features along with numerous optimizations.

New Features

Applets
Each of the main sections on your profile are like mini-applications (aka applets). We have plans to introduce more applets very soon (in addition to the ones introduced in this release).

Friends List Applet
Your profile will now show up to 10 of your recently added friends. We have plans to futher customize this applet.

Groups Applet
Your profile now displays the groups you have created along with the groups you are a member of.

Other Applets
Several of the existing applets have been improved as well.

Applet Ordering
The various applets on your profile can now be dragged up or down to order them as you choose. To do this, simply log in to RealTown and visit your own profile, and then drag the titles of the applets up or down. The order you choose will be saved automatically.

Optimizations

Along with the new features, we have highly optimized your profiles to help them load faster. We have enabled server caching for the profiles to make them as fast as possible. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for certain parts of your profile to be updated.

Your hobbies, interests, and activities have always linked to a search results page of other members that share that same property, but now the resutls will come up much faster. This means more people will be able to find you faster if you keep your profile filled out.

Please take a moment to view your own profile today and let us know if you have any thoughts.
