Minor discrepancy in the default text of a Proz profile page Thread poster: Mikhail Kropotov
|
|---|
I couldn't find an appropriate forum to post this in, but here goes.
On the profile page the word Background has a colon after it but the word Specialization doesn't. Since I use HTML on my page (nothing fancy but take a look if you like), this discrepancy jumps out. I know that these words cannot be taken off the page, however I think the least they could be is consistent with each other.
Am I asking too much? Thanks for listening!

Anyone care about this? It's on your profile, too, so think about it.

It used to read ‘Specialization :’ and ‘Background :’, but was then, for no obvious reason, changed to ‘Specialization’ and ‘Background:’.

ProZ.com members can easily remove the colon in the text ‘Background:’ (see http://www.proz.com/pro/7599), so the current situation is tolerable.
I have failed in finding any way to insert a colon after ‘Specialization’ (or to remove the ‘Specialization’), and I doubt that ProZ.com members can do it.
The obvious solution to the problem is that ProZ.com deletes ‘Specialization’ and ‘Background:’, and give ProZ.com members full control of the TABLE cell. ▲ Collapse

| How do you remove that colon? | Dec 1, 2005 |
I cannot see how to do it on my profile page. Could you tell us how?

But without removing the whole profile, please, as in the example above
By the way, fully agree with this one:

Yes - picky, I know but I'd rather it said "specialisation" on mine. I know there's some debate about -iza/-isa in UKE but I don't like it!

Dear Swen, I also fail to see how the colon can be removed.
I am sure there are reasons for including the Specialization and Background by default. However, why shouldn't there be an option to remove them for those who want to?
