West Coasts - My ideas for Genius

I think that the whole profile page could be vamped up and reformatted so that users can really represent themselves. I'm working on some visuals for my "prototype" page for a new profile page. (Work in progress ;)) Reorganize the left hand column

I think that his entire column needs to be reorganized. The less important things about a user are at the top and the more things about the user are at the bottom. From the top, this is the order I think it should appear in:

1. Username in the color of your ranking -- I always find it hard to determine the ranking of a user that I discover and find my self looking at the "manager options" to find out what rank they are. This is something that is very important on Genius and should reflect immediately on our profile

2. The follow, message and activity buttons -- same as now

3. IQ -- Another huge part of Genius that is shoved down to the bottom of the column. IQ often gives new users an idea of how long someone has been using this site.

4. Profile Picture -- I think that it would be nice to have the feature that is on Twitter where you can click on the photo to look at it closer

5. User Options -- We should consolidate some of the categories so we don't have 3 different things that say "change". We should just have settings to edit all of that. I think that "linked" accounts could be something that you enable in settings and if you do have accounts linked, then you would see the links elsewhere. "Find more users to follow" could go under the drop down menu when you click under your profile in the top right corner.
6. "Followers" -- same as now

7. About *username* -- A very large header with room for sub-sections underneath it

8. Joined -- Similar to the feature on Twitter, its fun and interesting to know the day when users join the site. I feel like this information is accessible to add to everyone's profile.

9. Location -- Another feature similar to twitter and since Genius is a very international community, we should have a place that says where you're from. Another reason this will be helpful is so we can consider time zones when were trying to contact and work with users on the site.

10. Bio -- A sub-section underneath About that has 1 ugly feature fixed in 2 ways. The first thing that could be eliminated is that is the down scroll feature if your bio is too long. I think that the feature on annotations within annotations where you can scroll over or click the bottom to see the full bio. Another solution would be to have the option to see "full bio" on an new page. This may be better for people who put photos in there bio since now they have to scroll left and right to attempt to see the whole photo.

11. Badges -- Nano Miratus' idea is so dope and many users already use it in their bio so why not make it apart of everyone's bio? His badges page has received support from as and many other users. His concept is dope but should have a few feature as well. Should should be able to: arrange them as they want (order, size, …), get a notification every time they get a new badge, hide or disable/enable their badges. Another huge thing that should be featured is something where when you scroll over a badge, it shows that date it was achieved. I think that this is important because I don’t know about other users but I want to know when a staff or other user has reached 300,000 IQ. I mean that’s HUGE milestone and it would be cool to keep track of it that way. Maybe there could be a second page that shows your past achieved badges where you also can see when you got those.

12. Top Accomplishments -- Do I even have to say that they need to be customizable?! Another small thing that we should reincorporate the green for verified and the white for non-verified. It's cool to see who is verified and what not so even if the colored name doesn't come back, there should be a symbol or something indicating verified artists.

13. Manager Options -- same as now but maybe get rid of the "moderation" because it doesn't seem to have a use.Other FeaturesPinned annotations Bookmark and Favorites tab Quick link to users' verified pages New site-wide features and pages Bookmark and Favorites tab Hall of Fame page Underlining Album Page Cover art Executive producers Artist Page Notifications for following artists Home page/menu bar Add Meta back to the drop down Lyrics, Texts and Annotations See who's viewing the page Bug when tagging someone to an annotation
