Ever since Ashton let me into this tribe...

There have been no hacks! Are you guys just being hush hush now? I am pretty sure that Limbo probably has a hack to share with the group regarding new profiles!

    that's not nice brian... especially since i cant get the silly identity module to show up! but since you ask so nicely... here goes. to get a "new profile" do the following:

    * paste your own tribe-id into the URL of someone's new profile.
    --> you should get an almost empty profile with 3 tabs for editing and a link at the top.
    * click the link to switch back to the old profile.
    --> you should see your old profile with a new link at the top.
    * click the link to switch back to the new profile.
    * edit profile to your heart's content.

    you now have a new profile.

    caveats:
    * you'll be missing the bio module (bonus points for finding out how that add that)
    * you'll be missing the idnetity module (that's the one with the message me button, links to your photo album etc).

      OK, now that everyone knows how to do this, please don't! I would advise that you go through a more sanctioned route like clicking on the following link:

      www.tribe.net/template/Ne...eRedirect.vm

      This will create you a new profile and populate all the default modules.

      Also, if you would like to be in on this stuff in the future, sign up for the newsletter on the Messages tab under the account link at the top right!! And nice job with the profile hack limbo (and Assaf, who also did the same thing).

      Note that the above link is not necessarily public, but also not necessarily private. In other words, if you are going to tell someone about it, do so to a limited audience.

        I need my identity reset

        Mon, March 14, 2005 - 7:23 PM
        Before i read Limbo's hack and Brian's warning, i too noticed that URL for what i figured would render my Open Profile. Like Limbo, to make it stick, i reverted to the old profile and then again to the new, and in that process my left column modules failed to initialize. Before Ashton approved my admission here, i wrote Elliot but i think he has since forgotten. In any case, i see Limbo has had his left column modules reset. I guess i need mine too.

        And yes, i now subscribe to the newsletter too, but i already get too much mail. In the future, why not use Tribe Messages to notify select users, in the same way Darian had notified us about Privacy Update?
