Additional Profile Fields - OS, PHP, MySQL versions

[Farcaster]

I'd like to propose adding a few extra profile fields that I'd also like to see added on the postbit: OS, PHP and MySQL versions. This would be a big help when trying to diagnose odd behavior of a modification or when answering questions in the programming support areas. It would also be an interesting statistic to track for trending.

Thanks.

We are unlikely to add them to the postbit, it would start to become very crowded.

However, we may consider the idea of adding a profile field that would be visible on your profile page - in which you could enter such details.

Perhaps they could be conditionally displayed on the postbit if they are posting on a modification thread and only to the mod creator? I'm just thinking it would be easier to spot when multiple people are reporting the same problem if there is a common element of OS, PHP or MySQL version.

Having it available in the the profile at all would be great too though. Thanks!

I doubt it will be useful ..
- it will not be updated when changed
- a coder should ask and not rely on these values
- having this data public will only make you more susceptible to attacks
