PROFILES - please fill them in!!!

[Berlin-Bob]

how do we progress it to make it a mandatory field on registration and how do we progress the thousands of existing Rootschatters who have no location shown

The short answer is:  we don't

There are no plans at present to change any of the data fields in the user profiles.

All profile data is, and remains, optional, and can be entered, or not, according to the wishes of the individual members.

And I agree - please don't let's make anything mandatory.

I was just trying to make a gentle suggestion that anyone who saw the benefits in adding the info to their profiles should do so.

People are entitled to make that decision themselves.

Agree with most of what has been said. I think the reluctance is due to fear id theft etc.

I have had in the past had to have protection because of the job I did, and I would not wish that on anyone.

As I don't ask for help regarding my area, or my family tree, its not as relevant,  but I  try and help other people regarding historical facts and about areas I know about, so details for me are not  as necessary.
