Topic: Personal info

I'm wondering if it would be interesting if we could fill out some of the personal info fields....it could even be useful to know if someone's in England or the right coast, left, etc. You could always lie if you like, I know I did with my photo. No one will *ever* know. Trust me.Too many times I've been interested in a Detter and they have no info except an email....that's boring.
What do you think?

I've tried to put something in the interests field; it seems to go through, but when I check afterward it's still empty.

putting personal info on something on the web? that might be bad.

Like I said, you can lie and who will know? I often fill out fields and change things like by one digit. Bday is off by one, SS# is off by one, that sort of thing....it would be interesting to know where people are, can that hurt? I've never posted my address or phone #, you could be honest with your interests, can that hurt or help? The fields are just so blank, should we just eliminate them???

V, that happened to me too, did you click "apply changes"? I had to do it a couple times, perhaps it's buggy like the PM!

I don't see an Apply Changes button. I click on "Amend my Profile."I've tried it on many occasions. Whenever I go back into my profile settings, the Interests field has a 0 in it (and nothing else).
I'd been guessing it was a bug from the ubb->ikon conversion and repeated importing, but I have the same problem at slate's. Must be ikon's problem.

I got the mysterious "0" too.Thanx for clearing that up, at least in theory.
I wrote to DSL about admin stuff tonite.
If anyone knows, he does.

I encountered the same problem when updating my profile.

I've heard you should never give out your real name over the internet.

A friend of my sister;s was messaged by some old 35 year old sicko and he wanted to do bad things to her, i was watching this conversation becasue i was in the room and i reported this ass to the aol people, he hasn't loged on since.

Well, it was an *idea*....again, you can lie if you can just get the fields to keep the data....So, "Richard", what's your "real" name? Botswana? Just wondering.

I would rather have no information than have lots of lies...[edit]- Hey editor you have a lot of posts for just being here for a month... I am curious if you know about the "edit" button? It allows one to add more information to their post without adding another post.
I am poiting this out because I've noticed that you have a habbit of posting twice only a few seconds apart...

Will this suit your tastes, oh great Editor one? (Just in case the profile is still buggy, here's my location and interests.)
Memphrica, Ghettoville, USA
Cross stitching, crocheting, and quilting. I also race dirt bikes and bake pot cookies on the weekend for the local Glaucoma Club.
Since the option to list your job has been removed, I'm still (for a bit longer) a whore to the customer service industry. Well, I guess "pimp" would be more accurate since I have whores working for me.
Now YOU can decide what in all that crap is real!

Actually I believe all of it!I'll try to post less and edit more, I promise! I thought I was going to win a prize when I hit a thousand, right? Don't all of you have to mail me a dollar?

So what are you trying to say about me, Ed? 
hehe
Posted by editor on Feb. 06 2002,00:45
...that you're a multi-facted woman of many useful skills. Oh, and my eyes aren't so hot, can I have a cookie or 8?"crouching duckie, *hidden* pickle"
