Unless someone has a better suggestion for the text there. That was just the first thing that came to my mind

Should we not separate the 'What games are you into?' from the 'looking for games' boxes?

Many people still have the old text which made sense as a 'what I play' info box in their 'LFG' box because we co-opted and existing feature.

Doesn't having it mean different things based on the LFG setting cause confusion?

Have you looked at this on staging? Public

No
Yes - I'm happy with it
Briefly - I'm happy with it
Yes - I'm NOT happy with it

I am still displeased with using the same text field for both those answers.

If there are (database?) reasons to only allow the one answer --forcing us to change the question to suit-- then this is a bit better than what we have.

If they can be separated, that would be much better. Maybe people are 'into' a certain sort of game, but are currently 'looking for' something completely different. These are not the same thing.

This was a simple text change requested by BoS (hence the branch name).

The change as it was proposed seems to be working fine.
Dunno, people might want to have two boxes. Perhaps actively looking for something and general interests in games? That's what you suggest Vague?

I'm not against changing how this functionality works, but this branch is a teeny tiny tweak for this:

Exactly.

One might not be currently looking for all the games they are interested in, or they may be looking for a new type of game that does not fit the general description of what they are into.

One field is biographical and tells us about the player, the other is about their immediate desires and might not tell us what they usually like.

I will remove my 'No' vote, since I am not against this tweak going forward, it is better than nothing.

... Looks like I can not remove my vote? Consider this my statement of 'abstinence'.

I agree with vague. Two boxes for these two separate questions might make sense. Still, for now, this tweak seems good
