Dear members,

As part of the ongoing effort to improve profiles and help members to more efficiently display their information, your contact information is now centralized in your Profile Updater. From here you can now enter and update all of the contact information contained under your Contact tab.





Note that for many of these fields you can choose who will see this information: everyone, outsourcers only, or no one (to be used in filters).

Your location information is now also tied to your map and local time. By entering your country, region, and then city, your map location and local time will be automatically set.





Please take a moment to have a look at this improvement to your Profile Updater and complete your information if you haven't already. Your comments and feedback are welcome. If you are having any difficulty using your Profile Updater, please report this by submitting a support request. Thank you as always to our members for their support of the site.

Best regards,

Jared

Problems May 29, 2008

Hello,

I tried to edit some of my information and some of the fields are not getting saved and others (map location) are resetting on their own.

For instance, I edited some information in the first field. When I tried to save '2. Map location: Put yourself on the map', nothing happens. Closing the window/tab fixes this issue and the 2nd field is no longer displayed as incomplete. But then

I haven't tried to add more information. First, I'd rather know if this is a ProZ problem or there is a problem with my cookies or something.

Same here...I've decided to update my CV 5 minutes ago. When I deleted the old one I saw some of the fields become empty...( when I try to re-fill them, the changes are not saved.
It's some sort of site bug, I believe..Hope site staff can fix this soon=)
Regards,
Andrei

I also lost a great deal of data May 29, 2008

I just submitted a support ticket without checking first if there were any news in this thread - sorry for that!

Just for the records, in addition to "Map location", I also lost my "years of experience", "services offered" and, the most important, all of my keywords(

I hope that we will all be back on track very soon!

'About me' is gone May 29, 2008

I hadn't realized my keywords were gone, but most important than that, the 'About me' field is empty too.

Time zone wrong May 29, 2008

Automatically setting the local time is nice - assuming it's calculated correctly and takes account of daylight-saving arangements.

I've just checked in my profile, where I have my country, region and city set correctly (although my city was added using the text box since it's not in the drop-down list), but it was showing GMT+3 when it should be GMT+4. I've corrected it manually ...

Maybe the system doesn't take account of daylight-saving time? - Or maybe it doesn't realise that it's winter-time here in Chile... ?

same fields are gone May 29, 2008

It seems we all lost our data entries for the same fields. My keywords, 'About me' section, Services offered, map location data, years of experience they are all gone. I thought I'd report those fields missing too, maybe it will help to fix the problem in a prompt way.
Thank you in advance!

my time zone is GMT + 1 May 30, 2008

But I can be anywhere as I please to be. I guess it is a job for the staff to update the profiles and not wrongly Jared instead of showing all the while a new design and call for updates. Brandis

And I've just discovered that the link in your profile to your Proz.com-hosted web-page doesn't work either. Sorry!!

It must be Friday afternoon...
