Zoints profile page poll

Various boards are offering http://zoints.com/ as a way to host profiles.
Does anyone have an interest for it?

I just started looking around the zoints on bf.c. It looks nice.

I saw your profile. You early adopter.:biggrin:
It's cool that it uses the banner from the website.
I wonder if it uses the banner of the website being referred from?

So, would you just have link like bf.c has in the top navigation bar? Something that associates my username to http://dustent.zoints.com/? Or would I have a different zoints profile for this site?

I got some emails from zoints. You would use the same profile with any registered forum. It actually sounds pretty cool. You choose which banner you want. I'd like to see their software look at the referral and use the appropriate banner. I'll probably add it.

Sounds good!

The only problem I can see is if members have different usernames on other forums, fortunately I use dustent on every forum.

Somehow it doesn't matter. I guess you create your zoint username and link it to your forum username.

I'm pleased to announce that we now utilize Zoints! To get an idea of what Zoints offers, please take this quick tour.

What is Zoints?

Zoints is a forum network and profile system utilized by more than 125 forums, including many of the largest in the world. It provides you with new features such as your own highly customizable personal webpage, photo albums, blog, page to show off your vehicle, means to keep track of friends, and MUCH more. In turn, Zoints is designed to help bring new members who share the same interests as we do to this forum. An example profile of a car forum member can be seen here.

Before I go further, if you don't want to use Zoints, don't worry, you can turn it off by going to your user control panel options page and unchecking the boxes at the very bottom.

Well zoints does not work on my home computer. I just got direct tv and verizon dsl and now have a different internet explorer page through verizon and it does not load up. I created one while at lunch yesterday but not sure of the page name,i think it's something like www.rearviewmirror.zoints.com ??


Now how do i link it if i'm not using the same username as this forum?

I believe it doesn't matter if your name is different. It must work with cookies.

How do I request to be added to someone else's Zoints profile?
