(Disregard this if you have a programmer profile.)
In case you haven't noticed, the memberlists in the section pages (well, the modeller page in particular) on the site is getting extremely long. We're getting a lot of members (over 150 now), I think that a lot of people are kind of missing the point of having a profile/journal. A lot of people register, log in once or twice, and probably never come back. Usually with no work linked, and no work shown whatsoever. While I don't mind people just linking to their homepages - that's perfectly fine, I just think that profiles that don't lead to showing what you can do is pretty pointless.
I'm thinking of splitting the memberships into two categories. The first category will be for people who have uploaded pictures on Sumea. These people will be listed on the section pages as they are now. Under that list will be a link to another page listing the rest of the members.
This way will provide a better memberlist if you want to see the work of local talent, reduce the number of members shown on section pages, and encourage people to upload art.
So... if you don't see your name in the memberlist in the section pages one day, you'll know why!

sounds like a good idea. I would upload my stuff but my forum profile doesn't work in the 2d artist section, even though when i registered, it was originally for that purpose.Is this a common thing?
I might have messed up somewhere when I registered you. I'm not sure what your membername is - let me know and I will fix it.
Ok, I've implemented this - so if you now go to the section pages (modeller, mapper, 2d artist, coder) and you don't see your name there, then click on the "view entire memberlist" page and it should be there.. why does your profile appear on that page, and not on the main section pages? Because you haven't added a journal entry or uploaded pictures.. Upload a picture and write a journal entry, and you will get listed on the main section pages.
The exception is with the programmers - those who I thought contributed to the site in some way should appear on the main programmer section page. The rest will have to write some sort of journal entry to appear there.
Sumea membership is to show or write about your stuff, and with this way, those that do show their stuff get more exposure..
_joke_ nahhh, make the programmers upload images as well.
programmer art = t3h evil
