Sounds good! Although my tactics trainer rating is quite voltile - I would prefer to see an average over last 30 days or so if it's not too hard to do.
Help - New Feature Suggestions!?

My tactics trainer tends to be very volatile too, anywhere from 1700-1200 depending on various factors.
Perhaps the average suggested above would be more appropriate.

A lot of that would be useful (maybe only to satisfy the reader's curiosity) but I know I often go to the poster's profile to learn a little about them.
Would it be practical to set out that list as a multiple-choice poll so that we could vote for the items we like by clicking a button?

mmm, yes I am edging towards the "tactics trainer rating is not needed" myself. I like it to be nice and personal so that there is no pressure to get everyone right.

what about something like this when you rollover their name?

Best Rating: 2345 (Turn-based)

Where else will it be, apart from on the forums? Member points could be useful if they are not already in the other destinations.
Edit: I almost forgot, it looks brilliant so far. Good work!

I think 'member since' and 'points' wouldn't both be needed. 'Last login' is very useful IMO. Until live chess really takes off a BIG way I think the 'turn-based' chess rating is better.
I like the example you gave, although I'd like to see 'member points' there somewhere if possible.

erik's mockup looks brilliant with Ms Goletiani - I wonder what it'd look like for your run-of-the-mill member here :) {I know it will loook similar, but you know what I mean :) )
One feature people request occasionally is to know the ratings of people making comments in the forums, etc. So we're going to make a cool little rollover popup for when you hover over someone's name in the forums (and other places). What things should we include? Here is what I think:
i know some of that will be redundant with info given in the forum (location, member since, etc), but this will be used in lots of different places.
thoughts?
