# How many people realize that their profiles are blank?

Hi,
There are a lot of blank profiles out there because of the way the edit page is set up. If you send a quick note when you are editing your profile, you lose everything. I was just wondering how many people actually know there's nothing in their profile?
I look at the profiles a lot, and more than half of them are blank. *smile* Just a suggestion, maybe if you guys want something in your profile for others to see, then you should make sure it's not blank. Just because you might of edited it, doesn't mean what you wrote stayed.

I guess I just assumed that the ones without much information were that way because the person didn't want to put anything. Some people claim they come here to get to know new people but then leave out information about where they live, their birthday and/or age, and any description of themselves. Then they wonder why no one sends them quicknotes or private messages.

that's weird and unsettling why are so many users choosing to be incognito...

I agree, when you tlak to them is just like if they were not there! I mean we should have a policy that one should say really basic information about them... I mean the zone stuff is really detailed, like the last post in what topic and the times the user has logged in, but please... I mean just if I talk to someone who is with a blank profile I would stop talking.... and i would post things like these in the rant board since they upset me

Well if you want to talk to them and find out what they are about do so but if you don't, don't. I agree that profiles are boring when blank but in real life people still manage to meet new people without the help of profiles.

I, too, think all the fields should be completed. Have the community leaders decided that programatically requiring information in all fields is not to be? If the profile ends up empty because one sent a quick note while editing, I think that's a bug.

Yeah, I think at least some fields should be filled out, especially if that person even thinks they'd want to or might end up talking to other people on here. When I first meet a person, or if their name looks interesting to me, I like to read a little about them. And the way they have it set up here, the person wouldn't even have to put anything personal, like they can put anything for where they live or are located, they don't even have to put a birthday or anything if they didn't want to. So I don't think it would hurt to put at least something else besides a user name so we could know who half the people are on here. *smiles*

I just always assumed people left their profiles blank because they didn't want anyone to know anything about them, or they just come to play the games and not to talk. I alwaysgo by age when I'm looking at profiles, and I only am the first one to pm someone, or make contact first when I see someone close in age to me, 44, 45, etcetera, or older. If I'm not talking to a person, it doesn't matter too much to me whettther their profile is blank, but I confess, when someone quicknotes me, I'd rather their profile said either male or female instead of unspecified gender.

At one point I went and tried to update mine and the new info didn't show itself just what I had previous...

The bug that wiped your profile if you sent a quicknote from the page that is displayed after you submit changes has been fixed. Please let us know if you have problems with your profile being wiped.
