New Profile

I get that message too-I think it's just a standard message reminder to all members.I filled in all of mine but didn't get my trophy though.

When I come on the forum I keep being asked to fill out my new profile.

The trouble is that I keep doing this (about five times now) but it doesn't seem to 'take'

Can anyone advise please?

Hi Serena, this message goes out to everyone and stays there as a reminder to those that haven't yet filled in their profile

do we need to fill them out ,I prefer some privacy .....

Have filled ALL of mine except facebook (not used) & system still doesn't give me trophy !

This is what I do:

If a system/forum etc "requires" a profile to be filled out and I dont want to provide personal information I either enter relatively generic information (i.e. "England" or County name rather than a specific town/village location or I enter a X or a TBA (to be advised) in the field. If a profile insists on a postcode and I dont want to use mine, I use the address/post code of a local post office or a generic postcode i.e. BT1 1AA, or G1 1AA and so on. If the website insists on a mobile number as part of the setup, I tend use the first 5 genuine digists and then 6 numbers i.e. 07711123456. I also never use a partial or full real name on any public facing fora I use.

At least it stops any nagging screens and means I have not shared any personal information with the greater world. I also tend to run two or three email addresses, keeping important stuff (i.e. online banking etc.,) seperate from general browsing. Hope this helps.
