Mark, I think this is a mistake. With several names (at least two kinds now, and possibly more later) floating around, I think terms used for indicate names need descriptive adjectives. I would stick

Right. That's your Main Profile, the one that no one can see but you. People can now only view your group profiles, and when you go into your Subscription page and click the Group Profile button at

Mark, I can't see my profile at all any more, no way, no how. All I can get to is the edit screen. That's what I'm trying to say. When I click on my profile at the top right, what I see now is the

J, When viewing a group profile, you see it as others will. There's no way to see the main profile that way, because no one will ever see your main profile anymore. Thanks, Mark

Hi All, The new profile stuff has caused confusion and delay, and if I've learned anything from my many, many viewings of Thomas the Tank Engine, Sir Topham Hatt does not like that. Neither do I. I

I'm still not sure I'd even call them multiple "profiles" at all. To me, "profile" reads as "identity," complete with a unique Profile Name. But these are simply a subset of the display attributes

Yes, agree, I think it needs that or, at minimum, an explanation of what will or won't happen (cascade or not). -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author. I wish I could shut up, but I

That's almost my entire point. I hear "multiple profiles" and I'm really thinking "multiple identities" - with multiple profile names and the whole thing. It is really, really unclear now that that is

Exactly. "Profile for This Group," "Photo for This Group," "Display Name for This Group," etc. Alternately, "for this subscription." And "for This Group" or "Group Profile" or "Subscription Profile"

I like those too. And re: the changes to the main profile not cascading if you have specifically changed something ( like a photo) in your subscription profile - what about a check box to hav eth

I'd like to see the "Name" in the member list be called "Display Name" as it seems that's what it is. I'd also like to see the words "for this group" or "group profile" added instead of just

Another issue: If I make any change to my main profile, I would expect it TO cascade down to all of my subscription profiles, even ones I've changed. If I do make such a change, it's only because I

Ok. I see, as before, that Profile Name is a field in the profile. I also see Display Name in the profile, but I no longer remember whether that was there before "multiple profiles." I'm fairly sure

It was up to members before the switch to multiple profiles, and would have remained so. Now members can't even choose to do it. But sometimes you're not looking for groups. You happen see that a

That was a typo, not me talking about myself in the third person. ;) -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author. I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't. - Desmond Tutu

Of course it should under user control. The issue is that even the option went away. The threads are now mixed up. A lot of this has already been said. Sorry j started a new one, hopefully Mark will

I think so... It's what i am seeing now. Maria

Completely agree, Maria. Sue >My thoughts: a) this should be up to a member whether to share what groups they are in with others and b) Should be up to the group owner if they want their

My thoughts: a) this should be up to a member whether to share what groups they are in with others and b) Should be up to the group owner if they want their group cross promoted - in the same way

Oh this is probably still messy... more later when I have time to look in detail. Things don't seem to match... Sent from my iPhone -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author. I wish I could
