yeah we do not plan of filling out any of the new fields...........HOWEVER.........here is concern:

(Records are displayed randomly, maximum of 30 at a time.) Members who've logged on in past:j20 days appears to be default]

ok.....here's issue....in OUR PROFILE'S LINK to PPL LIKE ME (BETA VERSION) we were one of the thirty ppl displayed........most of the info is already in profile BUT we'd rather that ppl's ability to know WHEN we were last logged in/ON was kept to either their seeing us in Who's Onine screen or to look at our posts to see when we last posted........we do not believe it is anyone's business when we were last logged in lurking the site, reading PMs, tweaking photos, etc.

Previously to this new feature only moderators and admin had the ability to see a member's last logged in time.....now we all have it. To us it is unnecessary erosion of privacy.

Whose random 30 do we show up in? Other ppl who haven't filled in any of the fields?

We totally get networking and how it helps others tremendously...that's super! We're not anti-networking. However not giving ppl an opt out before changing which information (about them) and how it is released to other members doesn't sit well.

giving an opinion. fwiw.
