Don't you feel that with this new feature it will no longer be "My Proz.com Profile"?

And,instead, it will turn to be a track record for outsourcers?

I mean that if I am to consider it My Profile, I must agree with its contents.

Kind regards,

Mayte

It sounds plausible Jun 24, 2006

You can look at it this way. There is a huge discussion on this that generated over 130 replies. While I am not saying it is a bad idea, I do feel it puts me in danger - see other topic.

For now, most people seem to disagree with this new feature (the outsourcer likeliness to work with translator again). Let's observe and see what happens.

As somebody pointed out in the other thread, usually, when ProZ implements a new feature that people don't want, it dies a swift death. I think it's best to just see how the situation evolves. In the meantime, if you don't like it, you can opt out. It is what I did, for reasons that are also explained in the other thread.

Cheers!

You're right, Viktoria! Jun 24, 2006

Let's wait!

They are surely doing their best on this issue.

In the meantime, I'll keep my old profile.

Have a nice weekend!

I am afraid you can't do that Jun 24, 2006

Sorry to say, but it seems that even if you set your old profile to be shown to visitors, the new one will show. I think they are in the process of dropping the old profile - and more heated discussions will soon take place on how to improve the new profile so we don't miss the old. Funny, when the new profile format was introduced, everybody loved it, and now, people say it's cluttered, busy and that it's content is harder to control.

By the way, there are now almost 180 replies to the discussion on the new WWA feature. Ant some people are getting ANGRY!!!
