Public profiles

[David H]

Firstly thanks for using my personal profile suggestion some time ago. But as many members would like to know and we have to answer on monster threads, wouldn't it be easier to allow every member to click the profiles (unless someone wanted to be anonymous)? It's been very helpful to find questions I'm involved on, but no one else can see when we joined or posted.

Thanks.

Is it important to know when another user joined the site?

and what do you know about the anonymity option? (shines spotlight into DavidH's thread)

[David H]

Nothing is important but as people regularly ask and the profiles are in place we may as well show it to the world.

Dot, most forums have the same options in all software formats, a few can't be done but even they can usually be made to work with a little time and effort (not by me, but I know a man who can).

Do you know how many members AB has??? Thousands! it would take up a hell of a lot of space to keep all those profiles

The profiles are already in place, but at present we can only access our own profiles, we can't click other member's names and see them. The space is already being used, just not freely available.
