Yes, I have nothing against it.

What about the From field?

I hope it's not removed, it's actually useful when people are asking for links to computer parts and knowing where in the world they are helps provide relevant links.

As for the post count and join dates, it really doesn't matter one way or the other to me.

Same for me, doesn't matter. Don't have much posts at the moment anyway. Can't think of a benifit for showing the post count or join date as well.

*no join date*

*dont need 'from'

*dont need member number*

Thats all you really need. The warn should show up for yourself and the mods/admin. At lvl 60 it should have a confirmation with the post so you think twice before you post.

I'm not asking it to be removed, just asking if it would be moved the same way to the profile page.

I don't care too much about the post count...but seeing the warning level during post should stay. I was given a warning increase by mistake because it was suppose to be just a verbal reprimand, I hardly visit my own profile and probably would never have caught it with time to question it or have it corrected..had it not been shown with post...as for the stress..the only stress one should have is using common sense before posting...because you CAN see your warning levels more often.

I suspect that:

Voters of 'Yes, hide it in the profiles' would not alter their posting behaviour if post counts were moved to profiles

Voters of 'No, keep it where it is' would in fact be less likely to post if post counts were moved to profiles, as this seems to be something important to them

I may be wrong here, but, if that is true, then it would make sense to keep things as they are. :)

Would you keep the Stars? And the Group associated with it?

I was thinking of moving just the actual count but leaving the Starts and Badge. Different staffers may have different ideas but this was what I assumed.

I would personally prefer to keep the post count, but if people don't want it then so be it. Can we keep the stars? its one thing knowing who is new, but I'd like to know who are major contributors.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
