If you check out your profile, you'll notice a slick new look in the upper right, combining your profile information, your personal information, and your profile statistics into one location.

http://www.gamespot.com/users/VinceL/

I'm still working out a lot of kinks, including missing profile statistics, caching issues (which might prevent you from seeing the new profile module in the first place), and detailed information about each profile statistic. So we're by no means finished, but wanted to let you guys know to check it out. If you have any suggestions, feel free to drop a note or private message.

Thanks to: CraigB, gopher_broke, ritzer_gsc, SteveN, and Maxwell for their work on this project. Also to BoomerDog, Peaco, and conster for pitching in.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is having the About Me section a click away (from a moderation standpoint, at least). If a user has innappropriate material in there it's hidden unless we click it instead of it being instantly visible.
Other than that, the Stats section is great! I guess I just wish all the info was there without having it be in links, but I could see how that would clutter the profiles more than ideally.

OK, I fixed the statistics so they should all be showing up. The tricky part is that Comments and Diggs aren't particularly accurate: they are based on a running total that started about two weeks ago. I'm working on getting some more details on each statistic so that when you roll over the stat, you know how often the number is generated, and what you need to do to increase the statistic.

This is a great new feature. There have been a few glitches here and there, but that's to be expected.

Awesome feature, i guess this is why there was glitches earlier to getting to my profile page ? I thought it had something to do with the new blog I had put on my profile in regards to the shooting this morning in Virginia so I erased it, Oh well. But I really like the tabs, nice touch, very creative. :D

Just got word that folks viewing the profile module in Safari are unable to see or use the navigation tabs that toggle the type of information you see. We've got someone working on that.

I like it. It's very convenient and orderly. It's better than having information on one box. Now to add a Wii gametag j/k. 

Thanks GS. I appreciate it.

Its cool, I just have one problem. The blog count is wrong on my profile. I deleted all but 3 but it still says I have 5.:? So that statistic is wrong with me. Thanks if you fix it.

A saw a few mods a couple of hours ago with it so I figured it was only a matter of time before it went live all around GS. Cool feature, all though some of the stats are innacurate.

Your profile page just turns out blank. Have no idea why it has only affected you.

A few problems with Stats:

-It's showing the incorrect amount of games I've rated, and videos and images I've uploaded.

-And it shows I have over 1k tags! :o

Looks good to me! I kind of disliked how you had to scroll in the "About me" box before if you had too much text.

Looks great. But it changes everytime I refresh it. Also it is wrong on some terms. It says I have 0 comments i have more than that. Also it says I own 671 games and I own aroung 300. Anyways it still looks sweet. :D

It's a pretty cool new system. Here are my thoughts

I liked how it said how many profile views we received the previous day. Could that be added back into this system? Would it be possible to know more detailed profile views statistics? Such as where the hits came from, and which pages in your profile received the hits?

I don't see the point of the digg referrals stat, since digg has nothing to do with gamespot

Could the websites in the about me area be links? I have a lot of sites listed, and it's not likely that someone will scroll and copy and paste the address into the web bar. People are more likely going to visit the site if it's a link

and as mentioned by other people, some of the stats aren't working correctly

Same here, although I don't know which version of FireFox I use. All I see are links, which direct me to my profile.

 

Edit: I just cleared everything in my cache and now I can see it. It looks wonderful! But like everything said: the information should still be edited. Thanks spazz!

Hey all y'all,

Quick update, the Safari hidden tabs bug is now fixed but it has given rise to some floating issues in older version of FF. We're looking into it now.

Like my main man Vince said, we'll be fixing bugs as they show up in the next few weeks. Thanks for all the feedback and keep 'em comin'. We appreciate your patience.

Remember, a cleared cache is a happy cache.

M

 p.s. Go watch me on the latest episode of Button Mashing!

Hey, nice one there. Awesome feature.

I'm totally obsessed with stats of any kind, so now I have even another reason not to get a life. :P

I love it:D. I never wanted to give feedback on gamespot befor (mostly bcause I was too busy) but I liked this so much that I had to come and find this fourm and now I know where it is I think I will give more feed back.

 

I also checked the new feature im all of my browsers and it works fine in all of them.

I agree a lot with what _Sam_ said, I liked the feature where it showed how many new profile views I got. So I do hope that is brought back. And I also think a list showing where the views came from would be nice as well. Other then that, I like this really well, cleans up the profile a little (I know it has some bugs, but that's to be expected).

I really like this feature, but I do have one thing that could be improved. On the about me tab, it is very hard to distinguish between the category (i.e., name, email...) and people's info that they have provided. Can you make the categories bold/underlined? That would help a ton! Keep up the good work :)
