Still pretty gutted this has gone. Was always my first port of call when visiting the site.

Why mate?

I can easily switch it back on, but the reasoning for turning it off is below.

Simply - profile posts weren't being used and significantly, to me at least, more people opted to disable profile posts than the number of actual profile posts left.






I've always been a believer in building on what works, and removing what isn't used.

With regards to profile posts;
  • Less than 0.5% of registered members ever left a profile post.
  • Throughout the month of September, there was on average of just 1.6 profile posts made per day. This is the daily breakdown;

I also reviewed any peaks to see if we could build on them but they were typically just whenever some decided to pile on someone.

I also found it telling that more people went into their account to disable public views of their profile page in September than the number of profile posts left.

I think it’s just personal preference. I enjoyed wishing people happy birthday and catching up on people’s discussions. I know we can wish folk happy birthday on dms etc. Just a nosey Parker to be honest.

That’s understandable if nobody uses it, does it actually help by removing it? Increases website performance etc? Or more hassle with people moaning about profile parties.

Member hiding everything should stop went to send e cards impossible if they can hide?
At least the profile could be used positively ...
Hiding completely you cannot pm them in any positive way - they may have a justified reason, but why?
#that needs altering imo more than having a profile page ?

Sort of agree mate. Problem is I need @COYBL25 to fully translate before I commit to agreeing with you.

No Joey, what I told you about the fact that it’s possible to lockdown your personal details ( profile ) so that others can’t see them.

No one is talking about that, the topic on this thread is rep.

Read the info old minge.
How can you have a profile post if you are allowed to be anonymous?

To think I sent you an E Card .......
To wish someone happy birthday like I did today .......
Also your chickpea reference was not on topic either ..... lol
To me posters worrying about no profile post is linked to a poster staying anonymous so It is linked & on topic......no one should be able to hide even you from Woolshire lol
