Ummm...I'm not sure if that is a joke or not. I can easily add yahoo games handle if someone wants it.

If the user info space becomes too cluttered, we could always look into a 'show' button, similar to Kirby's recent inline tagging. For example, if user info tabs start to be longer than the users' posts.

btw, is there a way to lump many identical go server handles together?
e.g.:
KGS,DGS,WBaduk,Tygem: lefuet

can we find a shorter name for the "universal go server handle"?

Now along with your KGS name, you can have your Tygem, IGS, or Wbaduk name. . . . . . . . . . . . <===== Like this. To change your profile info, click on 'user control panel' in the upper right, then click on 'profile' over on the left.

While looking at these fields again, I noticed that the KGS field was only big enough for only one name, whereas some people have several handles there. It is now big enough for three names of 10 characters each. Also, what are the max name lengths for other servers?

Imo it is redundant to have 'handle', it is better like this: KGS: asdf IGS: asdf ORO: asdf Tygem: asdf Rather than: KGS handle: asdf IGS handle: asdf ORO handle: asdf Tygem Handle: asdf

I think a show/hide link for handles defeats the purpose. It should be all or nothing--show them or relegate them to people's profiles. Why do I want someone's KGS handle? Either to challenge them to a game, or recognize them when I go on KGS. For the former, it's easy enough to click through to their profile. The latter works best when you see the names a lot. If you see MssrBlanc next to my name every day on the forums, you might remember that I'm that jerkwad from the boards. But are you really going to click on a "show handles" button often enough to remember that I'm MssrBlanc, and daniel_the_smith is lavalamp, and Araban is fi, and on and on? That's a lot of clicking. It's like how no one would go to a website just to read their friend's poop joke, but they would laugh when they see it on Twitter.

To do so, click on 'user control panel' in the top right, then 'profile' on the left.

How about AGA (or other Go Associations) ID? For those that want to share that information I think it could be useful in comparing ratings systems and looking up performance on the AGAGD database.

I'm starting to wonder if it'd be good to allow for user-defined fields.

can we find a shorter name for the "universal go server handle"? I can think of: all, universal, most, many, go server, ..

What I would really prefer is an indented list like this Code: Server handles: KGS: Bilapidate IGS: JoazB DGS: Hematoad or Code: Server handles: All: JoazB @Kirby: how hard would this be?
