Of course! And it's stuff like this that keeps leaving my to scratch my head in confusion and disbelief.
What I can't figure (this time around) is this:
In what world of UI design does it make sense to provide a text-input field only 1 line high (and, what, maybe 30 characters wide?) when...(a) The info displayed will possibly cover more than 1 line height's worth of text, and ...(b) There's plenty of room in the Profile Prefs editing area to make that text-input field larger?
I don't know who is responsible for it, so I won't (and don't want to...) point any fingers and make fun of poor design decisions (for the 20th time).And I kind of hope whoever IS responsible won't embarrass themselves by claiming responsibility.
But, COME ON! WTF ARE YOU THINKING!?!?

Kath-H May 1, 2009 12:01 PM (in response to Phos±four dots)And there was me being all restrained and understated I tried to scroll to make changes and found myself dragging and relocating chunks of text, had to use the arrow keys. Still, it's an improvement, small mercies and all that.
And someone who can achieve things is listening :) :) :)
We are not having to rely on assurances that messages are being ferried 'around back' and possibly absent-mindedly lost or mistranslated en route

Don't get me wrong, Kath (and John C.)...I really DO appreciate the incremental improvements. What's frustrating is the continued "half-baked" state of implementation.
(Hmm...I just opened the "Edit Profile" page in another tab to have a look at the code, and the new fields are gone. Looks like it might be back in the oven for a little extra golden-browning. <Homer>"Mmmm....goooolllldeennnn-broooowwwwnnninnnng...arugglglllguuuggglll..."</Homer> )

Added content is still there though.

Well yes, but it shouldn't really be needed. 8/10 for effort though John C

Bob_Peters May 1, 2009 1:13 PM (in response to Phos±four dots)I can only think of one comment (AGAIN!): Welcome to the Amateur Hour!
Seriously, is this the first forum experience for the Jive coders? There are so many stupid oversights, omissions and lack of testing that I have to wonder. Could I do a better job? Absolutely not.
