What a joyous day it is today! These features have been
something I've been wanting to implement for a very, very, very
long time now and I finally had the chance to do so! It took longer
than expected because I wanted it to be just right but it's now
here.
Introducing the Friend Finder and Interest systems!
What is the Interests
system?
You can now set your own personal interests such as your
favorite genres, music, your Japanese level, if you're seeking
friends or someone for a relationship etc... There list is HUGE and
there are so many parameters.
To edit your own interests, you must first go to your J-Spot
then click on interests. This will let you edit your interests as
shown.
You can view other people's interests in the same fashion,
just visit someone's J-Spot and click on Interests
What is the Friend Finder
system?
The friend finder system is what makes the interest system so
great. With the same parameters (and more) found from the interest
page, users can search for people given specific interest
parameters. This means you can search for [Beginner in Japanese]
[Speaking English] [Has Avatar] and find everyone with those as
parameters. However, be warned, using too many parameters will
likely yield no result since this just released and there's only a
handful of people whom have set their interests to anything.
As for searching for usernames, you can search using up to 4
terms. Meaning if you search for "anime fan boy" it will look for
users containing the words anime, fan, or boy in their name and
list it.
The possibilities are endless!
I hope you are all excited to set up your profile! Doing so
will award you an achievement when the achievement system is
enabled, however if you do change it now, it iwll be automatic when
it is implemented.
