1. I will use this feature
2. I won't use this feature


Don't forget to vote if you reply, tell me if this is a feature you intend on using or not. Thanks.

New feature: You can now change your settings so that you will always see profiles with the basic default DH color scheme, even if the user changed their background and colors. It also hides any HTML, music players, youtube videos, guestbooks, and any other objects from their profile description.

This is for people who don't like looking at profiles with custom colors or get tired of having music start playing when they view a profile. At the top of every profile that has a custom design, there will be a "Hide Custom Colors" link, if you click it it will show the profile as it would look if there was no custom design. It also changes your settings so all other profiles you view will show without the custom design. You can also change this setting any time in account options.


Most people won't use this feature, it's mainly for those who have trouble reading profiles when they have custom colors, don't like music loading, or their computer is slow and flash objects cause profiles to load slowly for them.

I think it's a great new feature. it will make it a lot easier to read a profile that is unreadable due to the backgrounds...Thanks..

Great idea, Dustin. I won't use it because I like to see how creative people are or in some cases, aren't...lol. But I do agree it is great for those people who don't want to see the various colors. Now if you can just do something about the volume on the music for us....

Hey, nice new photo, btw..

i have found a few profiles i could not read so it would be a good choice for us with vision challenge. most men take the dh option for the profilesanyway. i really enjoy the talents some have with the profiles here. i also get sick of my own music tunnel vision so i can pop out a player so that is great for me

dustin, what a great day!

I do lots of quick peeks to profiles like when somebody changesto a new picture or someone makes a post maybe not famaliar with them...
When I go to the profile I am looking at the content of the person not the ceativity the person has...If I want art I go to photo bucket.....JMO....

"Yes I will use it" ....Thanks...!!!

Hi Dustin, I like it as sometimes the profiles are overloaded with too much going on at the same time.In many cases 'simpler ios better'

I'll use it when I can't read the data and I also appreciate being able to turn off the music that starts automatically - I enjoy the music, but only when I am able to choose which song and when to listen - I hate it when it starts playing as soon as you look at a profile.

I may use it after the first glimpse but I also like seeing the personality shine through. I do agree that sometimes a profile can sometimes be hard to read and that would be a great time to use that application.

Nope.. wont ever use it but I guess Im one of those whose profiles is difficult to read when there is something to read.. try to make it readable! Love to look at others to see their creativity and individuality though.
So Dustin how about some more smilies.. a GF Hug would be fantastic!

I'll only use it when the profile's background is too busy and inhibits reading the profile especially if the font used in the profile is fancy. Good idea for many other people though.

I'll probably get another time-out for this but...

There are many things that could be changed about this site that would make it more enjoyable... many things more important than color schemes IMO. It just amazes me that some really good suggestions don't even get addressed, and then something like "hey, you can now turn off music on profiles" gets added.

It's like slicing your wrist and then putting a bandaid on it.

Most people won't use this feature

It will be good for those that have dial up, they can have some control so their PC's don't lock up.

Dustin,
I enjoy listening to their music or at least seeing if I enjoy their kind of music.

There are some profiles with difficult to read profiles because of the background. I usually e-mail them and tell them. I would love to know what you said but I can't read the navy ink on the black background, or whatever.

I won't use this feature.

Thanks for keeping DH #1!!! You ROCK!!!
