The Profiles at Member Photos & Info are only for the ones who've asked to have a "public profile." In actuality, a very low percentage of people here have a profile there, and it's always (as far as I can recall) been maintained by "staff" and not editable by individual members.

The Profile in question, I assumed, is the info mudcat needs to know (the "member information" file) to make sure you're nice people and for mudcat to know how to contact you when you need help. That's the only one I could think of that's ever been editable by individual members.

I'll note that the info is a little out of date at the Photos & Info page, since it says "contact Jeff" for changes, and I don't believe Jeff has been around for a couple of years(?).

The only time I remember noticing the update link is when I did a new login when my cookie got crunched. When you filled in the required info and hit the Submit it took you to a page that showed what you had entered, and suggested that you could edit it. That update function may have been (temporarily?) disabled due to Max's maintenance and fixemups.
