    First of all I understand why a lot of us dont want to be identified by all and sundry who might lurk here trying to identify us.But it dissapoints me to look up someones call sign,and their is absolutely no information about the person at all.You dont have to be specific as to your cong.or even area,but it`s nice to know the general area you come from, your sex,a general idea of your age ,it tends to give you more of a personality,a real person.We can relate to you as a real person.I love to see xjw,from oz,a couple I have been able to communicate with via pm`s,I send a pm if their similar to my age or have identified they have been in the same area as I was.If people dont want to respond, well and good.But please just give a little with your" avtar"?is that what we call it? (I am computer illiterate,and getting a bit senile)

    Okay,

    If it is a person's profile/info/biography page of which you speak, then for the time being such info cannot be added or changed.

    The way I understand it is that nearly two years ago this website was under threat of being shut down for good. To keep it open, they had to re-write the software and then transfer all the info to a new set of computers. The problem with the then new software was that it is quite limited in its functionality. New ones signing up cannot enter personal info on their profile/biography page even if they wanted to. (Believe me, I kinda wanted to.) Only older info on previous sign ups remain. The only thing a person can change now is their profile pic/avatar.

    Reportedly there is going to be another revision of this website and it's software coming down the pike soon. How soon? I haven't a clue!
