Thank you, Phoenix. I felt sure I had pressed 'save'. Must have had a Senior Moment! But I also agree that some info is interesting, so perhaps I shall just amend it.

I sometimes click on a profile to see the age of a poster.

If someone is managing a huge amount of child-care for the DGC (or something similar), more than I think I could manage, I say to myself 'ah but they are probably younger than I am' and have a look.

Culag there is still a bit of info viewable!

Funnily enough, ten minutes ago I turned the viewing of my profile off. I have never yet posted anything about my family online because I can't bear the thought of any of them recognising themselves or me! But I can see that the support given by members could be very uplifting so I may pour my heart out one day.

I agree nankate - people don't have to put too much and definitely no photos if they'd rather not but it's nice to add some 'colour' smile

It took me a while to discover the Profile facility on Gransnet. I think it is nice to be able to get a bit of a flavour of the person without them having to disclose too much about themselves.

I often click on someone when I have read an interesting post from them and when there is no Profile I feel disappointed that I can't picture them (I don't mean by photograph necessarily) their age and family etc.

What do others think ?
