• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Question about forum profile posts.

Hi,

To be honest I'm not 100% sure either. But I think they are intended to be something in between a forum post and a PM. It is a kind of message a user can leave to another user. But while a PM is private, a profile post is public. So everybody can read them.

Personally I don't feel they make that much sense. But I think it was an attempt to have social media like interaction between users outside of specific forum topics.

Thanks for the enlightenment Arno. What you stated is pretty much what I was thinking but I didn't want to miss out if it was something else.
 
You can deactivate profile posts in your privacy settings.


I wish you could change your member name...

That wasn't directed at you. I was, as usual, talking to myself. :oops:

I knew that. I was jokingly referring to your grammatical error of the word (you) which should have been (I or we). And as my American folk hero Red Forman used to say "Dumbass!" :rotfl:
 
Aren't the profile posts ment to update on a status of a user, for instance to inform fellow developers why he won't able to reply for a while or what he's working on or something?

"One" would be more appropriate, I think.

My dear fellow, one does not! Any well-bred person would have said One wishes one could change one's user name. That is, should one wish to sound like a pompous ass, what what?

I have never used them, they just seemed superfluous to me, that's why I asked.

Well you're the short-story writer of Norber the trainee here, you can give us the finer details of the English language ;)

We sometimes change user names on request, but it's not something you can do yourself :) Just contact one of the admins if you really really want to.

Do not let Heretic change his name. It took me long enough to figure out he is Bejorn! Sorry if I misspelled your name Heretic.

We can always change it to "new_name formally known as Heretic", that should make logging in an extra challenge :D

Nothing is too challenging for the most brilliant brain north of the Rio Grande (and east of the Bahamas) (and west of Szeged) (and south of Murmansk)!
"Bjoern aka the artist formally known as Heretic no copyright infringement intended". Lets see if the board can handle that*! :stirthepo



(*Please don't. Long names are inefficient.)
 
There's a little green-eyed idol
To the north of Kathmandu,
Reckons he is smarter than you
