LBP.me Integration - Part 2!

[ConfusedCartman]

Two days ago we announced live level posts, completely based on data grabbed from LBP.me. An awesome feature, if I do say so myself. Today, we're bringing something new to the table: live user statistics.

Thanks to some awesome tools we've whipped up, we are now able to display lots of new info about you and the users around you. The first thing you'll notice is that every user's personal LBP polaroid displays right next to their name, and, when clicked, it also brings up their LBP.me profile. We've also got full heart display and published level count - even including a link to the user's published levels - so it's fairly comprehensive. The dropdown menu you get when you click someone's username contains a new link to their LBP.me profile, as well - if you prefer that route.

How does this work?
We use the PSN you provide us to grab all sorts of data about you from LBP.me, then we cache it (for load reasons) and display it. Of course, we fully respect privacy: if you don't provide a PSN, or if your LBP data is set to private, we don't display anything.

You cache the data?
We hold on to it for a period of time to make sure we're not hitting LBP.me with a ton of requests all at once. We update the data regularly, so don't worry about things getting too out of date. It'll keep up with you just fine.

What if I want to opt out?
We offer some great built-in privacy tools that afford you a ton of control over both how others see your data and how you see others' data. Simply head to Settings > Edit Profile and scroll down until you find the "LBP.me - Personal Data Display" and "LBP.me - Global Data Display" settings. Both are there for you to utilize at all times, so you'll always have complete control over how your data is being displayed.

On the other side of the coin, we support the same privacy features LBP and LBP2 do, so if you choose not to publish your information to the web, we won't show it here either. Also, we won't display any information (cached or otherwise) if you haven't provided us with a PSN, so that's an option as well. Remember, though, that won't prevent someone from getting at your data if they really wanted to. We definitely encourage you to use both the official privacy tools and the tools LBPCentral provides to ensure you're in full control.

Hopefully you all enjoy the new features!

Okay. That is awesome.

Also, at first I thought those numbers beside our names was some sort of secret code that we would have do decode. o_o

Glad you all seem to like it. Feels like we've been working on it solidly for the past 4 days, but maybe I'm just imagining things.

If your info isn't displaying, you need to ensure:-

1. You entered a valid PSN in your profile.
2. You're enabled your lbp.me profile for public viewing in your Web Privacy Settings

Enjoy.

Awesome, keep up the good work! Now, no one has to shovel through a link just to find their hearts, and etc. This helps greatly!
