In profiles, do not hide additional info behind dropdowns (solved)
This is something I feel extremely strongly about!
When viewing profiles, I want to see the "additional optional context" for every trait and interest without having to click.
It's unrealistic to expect me to click all of those, especially if I'm browsing several profiles. My finger can't take it! :) A tooltip would be acceptable, like F-list's profiles.
I might suggest letting Trait's additional info simply be visible (since it's almost certainly something the viewer will want to see anyway, and it's usually brief), while the Interest's additional info could be in tooltips, since it's longer. In a sense, this would be similar to how F-list's kink tooltips.

The general idea behind profiles as they are right now is at-a-glance information with optional more detailed info in the dropdowns. I feel the traits in their current state accomplish this quite well: people who are just browsing through profiles do not need to know my character's exact age to know he qualifies as a teenager. If they're interested, they can look into it a little further and find the exact age as I specified it. Interests are a different story, since they don't seem to have indicators for when there's additional information available like the Traits do, and someone's interpretation of an Interest is arguably much more important information than some specific info behind a broad Trait. I suggest showing the additional information on mandatory interests by default and adding extra info indicators to the rest.
I completely agree with Daniel here. Traits can be checked if your interested. You see someone with a "Cat" trait, you're looking for some sort of cat. So there you go! Then, drop down to see what KIND of cat it is. Is it a thickcat or slimcat? ;) however, interests are indeed different for each individual. Say...watersports. Few people enjoys it the same way. Some people also enjoy quick-smut style romance, while others prefer slow-built romance. THAT kind of info can be RP-breaking when misunderstood.
I am considering this "solved" with the redesign implemented a few weeks ago plus the ability to expand everything with a single click instead of having to click everything.
Got something to say?
