Can anyone fill me in on exactly what the New Profile Posts (which appears on the right side of the home page) is. The postings cannot be accessed and I can't quite figure what its purpose is.

Thanks,

John
 
That is on your profile page. You can change it daily or comment on other persons updates

Sorry, but I still don't know what that means. What can be changed daily? How do you comment on other person's updates. I went to my Profile Page and it is so convoluted with so many categories that I can't make heads or tails from all of them. I think I liked the old system much better.
 
This is your profile post you can delete and update.

Ok so from what I can figure out the "New Profile Posts" allow you to see someones profile, and allows you to add a comment to their profile. I was able(I think) to add this comment to Rings profile. Clicking three dots test. I did this by clicking on the 3 dots in the lower right corner. I wasn't able to see my comment after I wrote it however. Rings feel free to delete my comment. Haven't figured out any usefulness of this option.

Thanks....I will keep on investigating. I think I will figure it out eventually.

It should look like this where you update your status.. which is same as profile comments.

Rings, I can see your message on my profile, but cannot see my message on your profile.

Chris.
 
Thanks for all the responses .

From what I have gathered the New Profile Posts section really has little use or value to me personally. Instead of becoming frustrated and confused by it I will just simply ignore it. If I wish to discover something about a member I will PM him /her (ops now called Conversations) and communicate via that medium. Sometimes change is not the greatest thing to some people.

Thanks all,

John

I feel your pain John. I can`t think of any use for it either. If I want to learn about a member, I just click on his name and go to his profile page.

I tend to wonder who comes up with these convoluted new methods of doing things?

Life was so much simpler before.

Take care my friend,

John
 
I guess it's a tweet for SMF when someone visits your profile.
