WebGUI 7.6 introduces a new way to manage your account information. The new Account Manager is a tabbed interface that allows you to update your username/password, your profile settings, view your purchase history in the shop, friends, inbox, and more. In addition, it modifies how other people view your information when they click on your name through out the site like from a collaboration system.

The new system is pluggable, which means that developers and add new functionality to the account manager to support their custom apps, or to subclass existing functionality to enhance it for a specific site. System administrators can turn off components that aren't appropriate for their particular site. And users have a much prettier and easier to navigate system to manage and view their information.

It still needs some pretty templates to be applied to it, but in the mean time you can check it out in the latest beta release either on plainblack.com or on a beta demo site.
