Profile Editing Problems

It was something everyone could do previously, I expect it will be restored. 

Struggling with your righteous indignation tbh.

Your username is AndyNYorks which probably indicates your first name and location, you post an image in your avatar that is probably your good self, that can be copied into any number of websites to match an image and probably identify you. Clicking on your username tells you are 'North Yorkshire Centre Past Chairman'. That's an awful lot of personal information in a few seconds of looking 

I would totally agree. I had not ticked it previously. More automatic than anything, never show more data than you have to. I understand peedee's point it is only the county, however, you are clearly given a choice and it is unacceptable that it does not work. If they could not fix it immediately, they should have removed all locations until they could.

No I was being serious. Information of a rough location and outfit can be useful in phrasing a reply.

I agree with Peedee that a rough indication of where someone lives is handy in certain circumstances. An example would be when giving advice on ferries or night halts. If someone can be seen as living in Cornwall you will think twice, or at least construct the answer more carefully before suggesting they drive all the way to Dover in order to cross to France. In some circumstances it saves a lot of misunderstandings. Likewise it is also handy to know if someone has a caravan or a motorhome as the same misunderstandings can happen. If you wanted no location information and you were ever in the position of asking for advice you would have to divulge far more information which would seem counter productive?

It's still perfectly reasonable to have a choice!?

At this moment in time the OP’s personal choices regarding his personal info are not being adhered to.  Others on CT have also commented on the same thing & that their locations are wrong/no longer exist etc. 

As there has been no answer to the OP's question quote 'Is this related to the website update?'  someone in HO will see this problem & things will be corrected.

While I have no problem with showing my location, it is and should be a choice for the individual.

This morning I was in East Yorkshire, now I am in Shetland, much cheaper to holiday this way, that's why its snowing

Agreed but difficult to understand the paranoia about revealing a rough location.

I've just changed my location to "Down" , as I'm always told to "get down" , also it will throw members of the sent that I really come from Kent
