Its not a bad idea, but typically you don't want the UI to change page to page. This is why ideas like letting people edit CSS on profiles just makes people upset (case in point: MySpace
)
I am from the Myspace era, and even before that. One thing I loved was the freedom of being able to use html etc. Now the net doesn't allow that anymore on any social networking site. That is cool and fine with me, but the thing that sticks out to me the most is Power. These websites have taken away the power from the people to showcase themselves in the way they want to. Now its only what these website allow you to do and that is it. Now the people from the new era have no idea of how the net use to be so they are cool with this way. But I would like to give my board members the power back. Freedom to showcase their content and operate their accounts how they see fit. So yeah I would not want people to put code in to edit profile pages etc. Most people nowadays wouldn't even know what that is. But if we can give members options is all I am asking. So on my website if a member wants to change the color of his/her text color for their profile pages they can. If they want to change the color of their sidebar they can. So they can have that feeling of yeah this is mine or I designed this to fit me. It doesn't change the rest of the site, but it makes their profile pages their own. So giving members a chance to choose where they see the bookmarks Menu would be giving something back to the board members. Also it could just be options in their preference and not .css like myspace that can get all crazy and stuff.Its not a bad idea, but typically you don't want the UI to change page to page.

The problem is that if users put ugly values in, that reflects on the site and management. And Id argue there are better ways to showcase their content and showcase themselves without editing the design or layout of a page.
Can you give examples?
What did you mean by this?
If I am given the option to put something that affects other users dramatically, like colors, I could put really bad colors that clash; say neon yellow and bright light green or something. Yes you can control this with color libraries to modify, but whats the point. Giving users less options is always safer. Don't mean to argue you at all, I love an argument. Feel free to PC me direct if you wish!
It is not, it is built ground up. Though has close to feature parity with this add-on, but for XF2 yes.
I actually do not feel like this is an argument or anything of that nature. We can disagree on something it is totally fine. No need to PC about this, i was only suggesting giving the user more options to control where they want to see or use the bookmarks feature. The Profile page customization tools we have for our members are working out as intended. I only brought it up in this thread as an example to the point i was making in that post. It is all love man and a simple discussion. It actually helps me understand where other peoples minds and todays web is at today.
No no no, argument is not a bad word!!I actually do not feel like this is an argument or anything of that nature. We can disagree on something it is totally fine.

Its a good word! Its when people can have a conversation from two perspectives, I love that. I didn't mean to say I was upset in any way shape or form. I meant if you wanted to bring it to PC so we can stay on topic I'd be happy to do so!
We will likely have an import script, not sure if @Xon is rebuilding this for XF2.Ohhh, with he same name I was hoping it was that addon updated for XF2, not a different one.
So now if he does rebuild it for XF2 he will have to choose a different name.
I plan to. Probably call it 'Bookmarks by Xon' however.
