I have an idea. why can't you have it so when you click on someone's profile, if they have a nametag on zbp, it plays. then you would know the person's tag if you ever did see them on zbp. it would be convenient.

Except that some people keep changing their greeting on ZBP.

then it'd change the nametag on the profile. I think this a wonderful suggestion.

I personally like that idea a lot.

So do I. From a programming standpoint (yeah, I know, that's how I like to look at things...), it's fairly easy to do. When a profile opens, have the viewuser.php file query the Zone by Phone database by ID# and retrieve, then play the person's associated tag file, which would be in wav format.

This would be a neat added feature...

Yes, it's just like how you can record your user profile by phone and the file will appear on site even if you change it every hour or so, so will your nametag. not like I'm changing mine every few hours though... even though for those on zbp know I like to be creative with the lines from songs that go in to my tags. lol!

ok lets see it I'm all for this as long as it doesnt take forever to load

audio profiles don't take ages to load do they? and as we only have three secs to record a nametag on zbp, it's no big deal.

I think it ends up at about 5 seconds even though it says 3. But yes, I thin kthat's a great idea. I get on the site more, and I am pretty new but I know some things about programming, and obviously the site has a way of querying the zone by phone system already. Maybe they even run on the same computer, I don't know.
