From Moderator Central And Me: About Your Profile.

[Guest guest]

There is a new and improved version for profiles for everybody.

ALL old profiles needs to be rebooted to be seen, as of a couple

of days ago. It is easy and should only take a couple of minutes.

Links will no longer work. You will not be able to go back to your old

profile format.

 

A couple of days profiles launched their new service, geared

towards a more open and social . This new version of

profiles has lots of great features that can help you stay connected

with your friends and family. When you create a new profile

page, you'll be able to add photos, information about yourself and

invite your friends to connect with you.

 

Your profile is all about you-your connections , your updates , your

privacy settings , your life. We want to help you better connect with

the people that matter to you in the easiest way possible, whether

it's sharing your recent updates or connecting with people from your

address book- we're here to help.

 

We realize that many users and moderators previously

used the profiles system to verify user's age and contact details.

With the new profiles system, once a user updates their profile you'll

only see the limited contact card (displaying the user's name,

location, age, gender and status message) unless you are a connection

for that user, or the user has updated their permissions.

 

This means that until a user updates their profile information, you'll

see a blank contact card for that user. Each user will have to go in

and update their profile in the new system, and decide whether or not

they want their data to be viewable by all users. For more information

on how to do this, visit the profiles news blog , or the profiles help

pages .
