Eternal21 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I wish there was an easier way to get to my PSN Profile. Currently it requires me to click on my username in top right corner, and then select 'My PSN Profile'. It's kind of a pain, and it would be nice if My PSN Profile was added as a link on top of the page (it could even replace 'Home' link since it's redundant with the 'PSNProfiles' link being there already). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undrey Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Just add a bookmark to your browser. Or just type your username after the slash after .com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SitusKiss Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 While it has never bothered me enough to say something about it, I agree; it would be nice to have one-click access to my profile (if signed in, of course).The issue with setting your profile as a "favorite/bookmark/starred/whatever", is it's more of a pain to go that route than the 2 clicks on the actual site. I primarily use this site on my phone's browser... pulling up your "favorites" from there is not very convenient, haha. Anywho, it really wouldn't be a site-altering change and would require minimal effort to code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mturismo Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Here is on of the many reasons why I love Chrome as much as I do. As you can see I have the pages I frequent the most ready to go the moment I open up Chrome and it goes straight to my profile. Granted it's not a big deal if I had to click a few buttons to get there, but it's still a great feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal21 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Not a fan of Chrome, as it doesn't have Firefox's bookmark panel. And the reason you want to have the shortcut right on the top, is for ease of use. I often check PSNProfiles from my iPad while I'm in the middle of a game, it's even more of a pain having to go through to clicks on there (a click, a visual search and a click in fact), than a single click on top of a page. This is a subtle change - and most people will not notice - but for the more discerning user it will improve overall experience. Especially given how often that function would be used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lporiginalg Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I don't think it's really a pain but it would be nice if they added a link to the forum profile in that drop down menu. Assuming you use the site homepage as your browser bookmark, and that you stay signed in with cookies, from there you can get to your My PSN Profile in two clicks, but to get to your forum profile (because maybe you wanna track content you posted in) takes three clicks. Now it's not so much that the one extra click is a big deal, but rather it's that you have to load a new page first to get there. So yea it would be nice, imho, if the dropdown menu from the home page / psn profile page was similar to the dropdown from the forum pages, basically having all those other options included.

KittyGirly Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You guys know right if you click your own signature it takes you to your profile? While its not a solution for everywhere its still something. And another thing, don`t be lazy, how freakin hard it is to click twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Wow.. 2 whole clicks won't kill you, you know? But like others have said, bookmark your profile, there's your one click method. I don't really use it though when I'm on the site.. people complain about anything these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipsqweek Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 If I remember right, the button did used to take you straight to your profile, but that was changed for people using a touch-screen device. When attempting to use the 'Update Profile' selection on a tablet, you never got the menu to drop-down as it took you straight to your profile instead. The web development team where I work have a policy when designing web-based apps where you must be able to get where you need to in 3 clicks or less.

Golwar Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I wonder how a gamer can really complain about 2 clicks. If that's your pain limit, how do you finish any game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curb Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Hey, cool, let's all be dicks about a suggestion that doesn't affect us in the slightest. The existing system certainly isn't taxing, but a more direct path might be beneficial for users with phones and tablets like he said, since their browsers are often slower and drop-down menus don't always work the best. Certainly it wouldn't be hard to set up, so it's not like it would mean putting other features and upgrades on hold. Now those of you that have had the pleasure of making my acquaintance in the CB know I love to be a dick, and I'm still all for that, but only when folks deserve it. Eternal's hardly come bursting onto the scene calling everyone faggots and going off the handle at people that disagree. Save it for people that deserve it even the slightest bit.

ShadeSplit Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 It would be better to have a direct link on the homepage, but at least there's a simple path. On YGC they have no path whatsoever to your profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you love to act like dick, that's entirely up to you. Others might just make a joke based on the "hilarious" thesis that clicking twice is painful. At least I haven't witnessed any personal attacks, name calling etc. Well till you came with your dicks ... And on topic: No, it's not difficult at all to arrange a separate button. But Sly unites all account related links under one hub on the top left site. In the forum as well as on PSN Profiles. It is a design decision with an obvious idea behind it. The most painful aspect of it is this "discussion", not the requirement to click twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I'm in favor of a direct link to our profiles, and your observation of having two buttons that go to the main page is brilliant, we could put that space to better use.
