Profile Field titled "Religion"

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

:sl:
The way we have been identifying people on this forum based on their religion, has been the gender icon.

But since this website is targeted to non-muslims as well, and our community of non-muslims is increasing, I thought we should include a place where people can enter in their religion (like the way we type in location), which will appear in the side profile.

How about it?

:w:

I like it! Either that or start adding some icons for other religions, that sounds good too.

[yoshiyahu]

I think that would be an excellent idea. A christian forum that uses the same software as this forum, http://www.theologyweb.com/, has that and each member's religion (if they submit an answer) is identified with an icon. Ex: a shield of david for Jews, a cross for christians, a question mark for agnostics, etc.

Thanks bro!

[SpaceFalcon2001]

Let us know when!

[Sephiroth]

Wouldn't it make the two types of genders kinda redundant then?

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Wouldn't it make the two types of genders kinda redundant then?

Perhaps. But that will just serve as an identification of Muslim or Non-muslim.

:w:

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

You haven't forgotten about this have you Br. Kadafi?

[Umm Yoosuf]

Thats an excellent idea!

[kadafi]

:sl:

The problem is bro, that I'm still workin' on a horizontale postbit. After I finished with that one, I'll automatically add the suggested profile field.

:w:

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Oh, okay. No hurry.

...horizontal postbit? :confused:

I guess I'll just wait and see what it is! :D

[Uthman]

:sl:

I think thats where all the profile information in people posts are displayed on the top rather than the left hand side. :)

:w:

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Oh! So we get that option?

I remember at the very beginning the forum had the info on the top.

[Uthman]

:sl:

When I hadn't come yet . . . .

Hey, when I did sign up here then you went away! I thought it was because of me! Or was it? :omg:

And then I was posting here like mad and became the top member and everything, but then inevitably you came back to spread your knowledge! ;) And then I shyed away from my long, long posts. Actually, they're not long at all! But strangely enough, they did seem long at the time . . .

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

You should become a top poster again.

[Uthman]

:sl:

No, I shouldn't. You should always be. You have a lot of knowledge and I don't have much. If I am to learn from you then I can't exactly be top poster! In fact, I was waiting for you to get your post count up cos' it just didn't feel right!

So I'm really proud to be your friend. You won't forget about me, will you? :beard:

:w:

P.S. What was the topic about again? Ah, yes. I don't like the idea of them horizontal post-bits! But I'm sure it'll look cool. :) Self-contradictory or what? LOL!

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

If we only wanted knowledge we could read books. The forum is about discussions and you help keep the atmosphere lively and happy. :)

I hope everything is going well with br. kadafi's work on the horizontal postbits.

[Uthman]

:sl:

Aye, what tidings of the horizontal postbits, O rider of rohan? :)

:w:

[yoshiyahu]

Any news?

Yes brother Ansar, i like ur idea, so when will it be final???

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Br. Kadafi is caught up with a lot of work right now, both website related and unrelated. He is also working on a horizontal postibit first as he just mentioned.

I think he will let us know when he adds this soon Insha'Allah.

[yoshiyahu]

The guys at http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/ - a christian forum - have the same thing. Maybe you could just ask them for their code?

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Its done, bro. Check the announcements.
