Parallel to the changes that we made in how the Bungie Timeline works, letting you search, filter and sort entries according to different criteria, we've now revamped the entire user profile system. Among other things, this allows us to bring back the Gamertag Database with much better features than before.
The new Gamertag Database allows you to see the gamertags of all registered Rampancy.net users who have entered a gamertag into their user profile. You can also search these listings by city, state and country. If there's a specific r.net user or users you'd like to search for, you can choose their names from a pulldown. You can combine multiple search terms to find users only in your town and state, and you can sort the results by any of these criteria.
If you haven't entered in this basic information into your user profile yet, you can do so by clicking the new "my profile" link in the menu that has your username on it in the left hand column. This feature is only for registered users who have logged in.
There are now two distinct places for user information and settings. The "my account" link in the middle of your user menu controls things like your comment viewing settings, your signature, your user icon, your email address, and similar items. If you want to change these items, click "my account".
The "my profile" link at the top of that menu will show you a two-part page. The upper part shows you how long ago you created your account and shows a link to view and edit your user profile. Below that, the current contents of your user profile are displayed. Click the link of your username, and then click the "edit" tab to add or alter information in your profile.
If you have no profile, click the "create content" menu item, then choose Profile. Each user may create one and only one user profile.
Some of you may find that some of the data moved from the old profile system has gotten a bit mangled; the usual casualties of the process were birthdays, for a few of you, and gamercards, for the few of you who had already entered them. Several users also entered in the Halo 2 Stats RSS feed the entire body of a feed, instead of the URL for the feed. As this made the field of no use, they have been deleted from user profiles.
If you had a homepage listed in your profile, that entry is now in the field called "homepage_import". However, the new user profile has a special field for homepage; feel free to use that or to enter in a new home page if you like.
