Christmas 2010 was my 1st year with LOROccupation:TeacherFavorite Decorating Holiday?:ChristmasFor the other members only the location can be seen.Is there a means to stop that without having to erase this information in my profile ?Have a nice dayChristian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Christian,Right now, it is working as expected. Only you (and moderators/admins) can see the information you mention in a post. I don't know what the final outcome will be. Still researching the best way to present it, and still figuring out what people like. From what I'm reading, it's seems to be a 50/50 split. Some want the information there for everyone, others don't want it there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Some want the information there for everyone, others don't want it there at all.I think it's much too cluttered to be there for everyone. I think Name, City, and Post count (and possibly rep) is good enough. For everything else, profile is just a click away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Since I don't like it. I put some hilarious info there. And yes... there's that type of holiday. I checked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Young Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I agree with limiting displayed information. In the "old days" folks wanted it limited due to bandwidth issues (ie dial-up).Today many mobile users would like it limited as well.Name and location are all really that is needed.Some want post counts, others don't.One argument for post counts is to let folks on the forum know which individuals post more frequently, implying they may be a better source of information, which we know is not necessarily the case.One arguent against is that post counts will induce some to increase their personal post count numbers by replying with posts that offer no additional information on the topic being discussed. (ie it becomes a contest to see who has higher post numbers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everything else, profile is just a click away.I agree...I was just adding information to my profile and found it pop-up and i don't like it and now i can't get it off.

Greg Young Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ???? I thought we were talking about unecessary information cluttering up viewers screens, (going back to at least the 4th post) ???I may have missed something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
