[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 442457, member: 262829"] I would like to suggest ways of improving the members profile information database. This will help to cut down on the number of posts needed in order to milk the information out of members who register just for a quickie or stay but forget to update their profile out of sheer laziness. When registering to the forum for the first time, the profile registeration field is not setup as a MUST FILL IN field (it is just a simple text box) so anybody can register without "paying" for the privilege of becoming a member. I think that the following fields should be filled in at the registration stage: Location Dish Size Fixed or Motorized Pointing to which Satellites Receiver make and model Receiver Image Version They still have the option of typing anything for example if they don't have a setup yet but will update it when it is operational. If the form can't be changed for any technical reason, the least that we can do when there is a minimal data is to ask nicely to update the profile otherwise he will not get any replies. Also, it would help to send an e-mail reminder on occasion to all members requesting them to check their profile and update it if there have been any changes in their setup equipments since registering. Hopefully this will not crash the system if thousands rush in to update their profile at the same time. [/QUOTE]
