Profile and new recommendations feature

I've made a little update to the profile page :

- New recommended page which shows top rated items (rated 7 or above) which you have not listed yet.

- Compatibility % is now calculated when you visit someones profile so it's always up to date, it also calculates percentage for authors/artists/directors now as well.

- Quick links to content contributed to listal.

- Extended the main box to fill the screen to fit all this new info on.

Heh, I just posted in another thread that I've been having a problem removing this new feature from my profile. :D Is there any way to have it as a module or is it a default thing now?

EDIT: Actually I have no idea what I'm whining about, its late and I've been on jury service which is surprisingly tiring as hell. You've simply moved collection stats into the main profile box and it looks more simple really. I still dont really get the compatibility thing though.

Well it's an extension of the old profilemain module which was never movable. I want there to be some conformity beween profiles and I think the content is pretty important, especially the links like 'Send me a message' and links to Reviews, lists, pictures/videos.

Why would you want to remove it and what would you want specifically to remove?

Reply to your edit :

It's not exactly collection stats as it's more focused on ratings. The compatibility % is how closely you rate items to that person, so if you are 99% compatible you know their recommendations are going to be good.

Yep, ignore the whole removing it thing, I'm just tired, heh.

Although looking at it more, I do miss the 'owned' and 'want to' links. As in 'want to read/play', etc. For instance I've added a game recently to my owned list, but it wont be immediately apparent to visitors because I havent rated it (played it), so it takes a little digging to find out. (for when its off the 'recently added' list anyway)

EDIT: The compatibility thing is pretty cool, I must admit. Although weird when I'm viewing my own profile and its got 80% compatibility for DVDs, etc. Why arent I 100% compatible with...myself!

EDIT EDIT: Ok, I am 100% now, hehe.

I've made some changes like removing compatibility if you are viewing your own profile to avoid confusion and adding help text.

Fixed the member listing, thanks Ipanema.

To the last 4 posts: Make a new topic. This one is dead and has nothing to do with what you are talking about.

To Tom: Maybe you need to make it clearer for new members how to get the help they need.
