Default Zoints profile page

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 saw your profile. You early adopter.
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.



Getting Started


To link to your profile, follow these easy steps:

Step 1:

Go to the Zoints dropdown at the top and click on "My Profile"






Step 2:

If you already have a Zoints account, login. Or select create your profile.






Step 3:

Create your account (it takes 30 seconds max) and that's it. You can now play with the most powerful profile system on the net

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do I HAVE to use Zoints? Can't I just turn off the box and links without linking to my profile?

A. No, you don't have to use Zoints. To turn it off, go to your user control panel, then edit options. Scroll to the very bottom and uncheck the two boxes under "Zoints Options".

A. Zoints' privacy policy can be read here.


Q. If i'm not sure how to do something on Zoints, who should I contact?

A. You can submit a support request on Zoints by going here or clicking on the at the top of your screen at Zoints.

A. Zoints is designed to benefit our forum. For example, they actively work to drive traffic to our forum. By using Zoints, you will help this site gain new members. In addition, Zoints doesn't suffer from many of the problems that plague other social networks.


Q. I really don't want anyone except members here to be able to view my profile. Is that possible?

A. Yes! Just set your group permissions accordingly.

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.
