Weblogs, Inc profiles live on WoW Insider (and more to come)
As reader Addie noticed in a tip to us (thanks!), commenter profiles are now live on WoW Insider. You can now click on your name (or any other commenter's name) after you've posted a comment, and see a list of all the comments you've ever made on any of our Weblogs, Inc. sites. You can also edit your profile-- there's not much there at the moment, but you can put in a URL if you'd like, or upload a picture.Eventually (and like Blizzard, we probably won't be giving out a release date on this), we're aiming to put together a system much like the one our flagship site Joystiq has, with user pictures, moderated comments, pretty pink ponies, and rainbow sugar drops. I can't tell you much (mostly because I don't know much), but I can tell you to expect changes, hopefully coming sooner rather than later. And if you've got suggestions, feel free to share them, now or anytime. We can't promise we'll do exactly what you ask, but we do promise to listen to everything you say to us.
And no matter what else we implement here, we'll continue to provide you with great daily content about the World of Warcraft. Thanks very much for reading, and stay tuned-- we're doing everything we can to make the site better every day.

Can we have rainbow aspartame drops for those of us who are trying to watch our sugar intake?

Can those of us who are trying to watch our sugar intake have rainbow Splenda drops instead?

@3/4 - Nice double post, genius.

I, for one, welcome our new comment/profile overlords.

How about edited comments? I hate it when I screw up a comment but only notice it _after_ I've hit "post".

How do we access our profiles other than posting a comment and then clicking on our name and then logging in?

The problem is I don't know what the password is I was given.
Addie Sep 12th 2007 1:30PM
Take out your password from the "current users" side and post something, you'll get an email asking you to confirm like before we had passwords... and it will have a password in it. You dun have to confirm your little test but you'll have the password.
Addie Sep 12th 2007 1:31PM
OR... if you never throw away email, look for the last time they sent you a confirmation request - it'll have your current password.
Metaphyzxx Sep 12th 2007 3:29PM
I'll have to check it out

Ooh, user profiles.. You're like going all Web 2.0 crazy here!
(and on less sarcastic tone)
Thanks, been missing this feature
