Kayaker,

Displayed on your profile page is a Grandfather's account,
meaning you have a Premium membership, and while others
of the FREE type may or not be able to People Mark, you can.

So, "[to] view a particular person's posts several times a day.
Unfortunately it's necessary to scroll down below the Profile
to see if there are any new posts." is a hard way when an easy way
using People Marks is available to you.

Also,

While i can acknowledge that
EMail Address:
Location:
Job/Title:
can be private personal information not for public viewing
and
Age:
for ladies is a sensitive issue
i am always sadden when the others are not filled in.

Now i admit this is very low on registered members,
and they take a "need to know" ego type trip with this,
my view is that unless a member does 100% Private postings,
that "to belong to" iHub as a family of communicating folks
has as first step to say "Hi" with basic info.

One could supply counter arguments to all i said and have
a very well ring of truth and logic attached, but if i was Matt
then i would require decent or funny or tongue-in-cheek replies
to these fields in a 2 week period after placing the first public
post on any board.

But then Matt might allow a "No Thanks" typed into any field
that would erase that line from a profile page viewing.

Or as you asked, Bob could make view this profile data be
an On/Off option selected by Premium Members in Settings.

Again, if i was Matt i would treat everyone's profile page like
them nasty pop up ads and until a member fills in all the fields,
including that "No Thanks" option being available, everytime
that member tries to post their profile page would pop up with
a Raspberries sound being made :o)
