Social Features: Visitor Counter + Mood Status
These are your profile’s “social signals.” They don’t change the look of your theme — they change how alive your profile feels.
You control the visitor counter and your mood badge (plus custom mood text).
📸 What you’ll see in Social Features
This matches the Social Features section on the Settings screen.
30-second setup (clean + not needy):
Visitor Counter → Simple · Mood → pick a mood (or None) · Only use Custom Mood Text if Mood = Custom.

🎛 The 3 fields in this section
- Profile Visitor Counter — show or hide your profile view stats.
- Profile Mood Status — show a mood badge in your header area.
- Custom Mood Text — only used when Mood Status is set to Custom.
👁 Profile Visitor Counter
This controls whether a visitor counter shows in your profile header area.
It’s a small “proof of life” metric that can make profiles feel active.
- Hidden — shows nothing (best for privacy/minimal profiles).
- Simple — clean and readable (best for most people).
- Animated — same idea with a little motion (great for neon/cyber vibes).
- Retro — old-school “visitor counter” energy (perfect for Retro MySpace style).
Heads up:
If you enable the counter and it feels “quiet,” it may just be new.
Some parts (like recent visitors) only show after logged-in members visit.

😊 Profile Mood Status + Custom Mood Text
Mood status shows a small badge near your profile header meta (your “vibe right now”).
If you choose Custom, the Custom Mood Text field becomes your mini status line.
- None — no mood badge at all.
- Preset moods — quick options like Happy/Tired/Excited, etc.
- Custom — uses your Custom Mood Text.
Best practice for Custom Mood Text:
Keep it short (2–6 words). Treat it like a status line, not a diary entry.

Good examples: “Low battery, high dreams” · “On my retro arc” · “Chasing clean UI”
🎨 Theme recipes (instant “intentional”)
🧼 Minimal / Clean
- Visitor Counter: Simple (or Hidden)
- Mood: None or Happy
- Custom Mood Text: leave blank
⚡ Cyber / Neon
- Visitor Counter: Animated
- Mood: Custom
- Custom Mood Text: “Signal strong” / “Late-night builder”
📼 Retro MySpace
- Visitor Counter: Retro
- Mood: Excited (or Custom)
- Custom Mood Text: “BRB, customizing”
Don’t overdo it:
If you already have heavy effects and neon everywhere, keep mood/counter simple so your header doesn’t turn into a billboard.

🛠 Troubleshooting (fast fixes)
- Counter enabled but not visible: make sure you’re viewing a real profile page (not settings).
- Recent visitors not showing: only logged-in members appear in “recent visitors.” Guests won’t.
- Custom mood text not showing: set Mood Status to Custom first.
- Mood badge looks cramped: shorten your custom text (2–6 words works best).
Quick test:
Save → view your profile page → look near the header area for the counter/mood badge.
