So I realized I had 2 completely finished profile templates just sitting around. I honestly don't know why I made them available for public use before lol oops

But they're here now: Minimalist and Sweet

Honestly, I'll probably start using minimalist a lot for my characters since the majority of my characters have basically no information for them haha

Anyways, I feel like making more profile templates. I have a few ideas already but I also want to know if you guys want me to make anything specific?

I really like stuff that has a lot of lil' info places (like backstory, personality, general info, appearance, etc.) and a good amount of pictures to balance out all the words. Paragraphs, like in Wiki templates, are hard for me to get through bc there's not much to really LOOK at :/

Tabs are also one of my fave things about profiles. You can make it look like a lot less so that it's less daunting to the reader, and it organizes it so you can find what you're looking for easily ^^

I see from the poll that you're not the only one who likes images. I was avoiding adding images into profiles because I see a lot of people don't have enough images of their characters to fill in them all. But I guess I should start focusing on making profiles with a lot of images for the character that do have that many images lol.

I have an idea for a profile that will have quite a bit of images scattered around as well as tabs so it has a lot of information spots while being more organized

Hmm... maybe a mixture of "short" and "lengthy"?

I don't like codes that are too short (for characters) because then it's not enough space for content! But codes that have tons and tons of paragraphs can be intimidating and if you don't fill out the paragraphs, it get's super empty.

I think codes that offer a "summary" but have opportunity to add more information or content if needed is nice! I think "tabs" are your best friend, as well as leaving some boxes for images can help! But that's just me and my preferences hehe,

I want to try and make "lengthy" profiles but have the capability of being shortened by the user if they don't want all the paragraphs/etc for their characters. So this way they don't end up looking empty, as you mentioned lol

Also I do want to try making more profiles with tabs, they're pretty fun

They are!

And that is good that you are considering that! "Windows"(?) (sorry it's been ages since I've coded anything) that change size depending on how much text would be really cool if it's possible!

Good luck!

Hukiolukio

I don't know what you mean by windows, do you have know of any examples of them?

Just remembered the word!

A "collapse" box! A box that can be opened or closed with a button!

I also dunno if it exists, but if possible, make it so that boxes change size w/ the amount of text so there isn't a large empty box or a super small box that you have to scroll in? Sorry, it's been so long since I've done toyhou.se coding!!

Hope I make sense!

Most of the profiles I make have boxes that change with the amount of text in it. Also, I have made a profile with a collapse box (https://toyhou.se/2503266.collapse-profile), and I hope to make some more in the future lol
