At this point in time it is only viewable in Fire Fox/Mozilla browsers while I tweak the look. I always design for Fire Fox first since Internet Explorer is just so damn screwy. So, if you click on Your Account in the user box or go to http://www.2old2play.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account you should be able to see what I'm talking about.
The new layout makes it a lot easier to see to view your own profile. I plan on making this your actual "home page" with all the relevant site info. For now you can see what new comments you have made on new stories, your PMs, send a PM, and what stories you have sent us that have made it to the home page.
On the left hand side, you should see your basic site info along with your avatar and Xbox Live Gamer Card (if you put one in). Below that, you should see your online status, whether you subscribe to the news letter, and your site "points" as I have them called now. In the future, points will become the new Karma system and you will also be able to see what type of SCC member the person is (if they even are one).
You may be saying, why would I need to see all my own stuff? Well, this info helps you see all your site information on one page, so you can change that info easier. It will also become your home page for others to check out. They will be able to learn more about you and your site contributions. Soon that right side will hold more then just your news submissions. It will hold new blog posts, forum posts, video posts, photos, and more. Everyone will have a central location to store all their relevant site content. Other members will be able to check out all your stuff and share it with others. Pretty cool huh. I think so.
At this point the URL's are pretty hard to remember, but to show you how it may look to view another person page, check out codemonkeys at http://www.2old2play.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=codemonkey
As you can see, it gives the same basic info, without the nav bar and obviously his private message. But from here, you can still send him PMs and see some of his latest site contributions. If you want to look at other peoples homepages, you can just substitute codemonkey at the end of the URL to another members name.
In the end my hope is that these pages with help show off what kind of member you are while also helping other members get connected with your site content. Shoud be cool. Stay tuned.

I found this post by using search to hunt for some info on the site points, scc membership, etc. Looks like a dead end, though, since others have asked the same questions and had no reply. Bummer.
