I just rolled out some changes to the user pages on this site.

Before, I merely used the default pages that Drupal provided. The problem was that the pages looked a little... bland. Among other things, there were no icons for the various social networking services, and that just wouldn't do. So I read up on how to customize the user profile layout in Drupal and spent a couple of evenings writing some PHP code and making use of Drupal's theming functions.

Here are the old and the new pages side by side. Click on either to get a full page in a separate window.

Old and busted: New hotness:
Old default Anthrocon user page New Anthrocon user page, with theming

To view any user's user page, just click the user's icon. And if you are viewing your user page, you'll have little edit links available to update the fields.

Feedback and comments (and requests) are welcome!

Tisk tisk, giza, the time for obscure MIB refrences was last year!

Contrary to my first observations, everything seems to be pretty smooth, but my 2nd signaturequote gets cut off. It's supposed to end with 'a madman with a box"- The Eleventh Doctor.'. has there always been a character limit?

some days it's hard to tell the difference between thinking outside the box, and being just plain crazy.

Actually, it's a Fark reference.

Not sure if there has always been a character limit on signatures. Anyway, you should probably tweak yours accordingly. Smiling
