Twitter Support & Renaming Thanks?

Hey Waypoint, Moa here with another suggestion.

First of all, ever since signatures were removed, I have been unable to aware people I have Twitter in case they want to follow me for what ever reason or other users have to post their Twitter for others to know who they are on it, this has been a great pain.

But instead of giving us the ability to use signatures again which is only available for those who hit the Spartan ranks, CL’s, SI and Admins, why not add an option to link our Twitter to our Halo Waypoint Forum Accounts or have a little profile sub-section to add our Twitter to our profile similar to how we add our e-mail for e-mail notifications?

Here is an image showing an example of how to link/add a Twitter account to your profile,

Just below the e-mail (hidden for privacy reasons) will be an option to link your Twitter account.

Along with this, a suggestion popped up to rename the thank feature to ‘Like’ similar to Facebook.

As shown in this picture, this doesn’t clutter up much space and makes it a lot simpler, As you can see, this shows the Twitter logo in action and other changes regarding what I have suggested.

This would greatly clear up useless space and add more Social interactivity to Waypoint.

Agreed and agreed. But you already knew that Little Moa.

Fixed maff.

I need to re-install Twitter but my phone is -Yoink!- me off as of late. Time she will tell…

Get TweetDeck if you have iOS, such a better substitute.

The best app is Tweetbots. And there is that Twitter thread, you know!

Suppose but I haven’t seen it around for a bit.

Hands down! I’ve tried a LOT of them too. :stuck_out_tongue:

I wish we had the little bio section we used to have, twitter or no twitter. It was a great place to add such things such as twitter if you wanted to. It also was fun to read.

I completely forgot about that, I loved it, I was always tempted to change mine.

Just add it to the drop down… It sticks out in your image. I do agree, though.

I seriously miss those. Really, we don’t have “profile” pages anymore; only user pages.

It’d be the perfect place for a Twitter link. Hell, it’d be the perfect place for whatever anyone wants to add. Fewer DB fields. Seems more efficient to me.

Never really understood why we don’t have a true profile page. I don’t think it harmed anyone.

It was a great addition to the site. Made it more personable! I’m definitely a fan of bringing bios back.

Be a fan all you want Finnie, you know we aren’t going to get that until the omega-build forums.

Probably due to time constraints to get the site launched on Nov 15th along with full working forums.

Probably will return in the future, hopefully along with Twitter support and ‘Thanks’ renamed.

Did you get this idea when i started using a fake signature, or is this something completely different

Not at all, but for gods sake can you stop using it, Signatures are meant to be a exclusive to those who have them, not someone who can copy and paste into every post they make.

Also, when you use your fake signature, you make a scroll bar appear on ALL of your posts.

Besides, what does signatures have to do with this?
