Which "rotton fields" are gone?
The profile image is still there.

The picture of my guinea pigs was from a MS Paint picture. I don't remember how I made it work as an avitar. It took a while and I don't feel like doing it again.

When I enter my b-day, it shows me as one year younger than I am...also, the birth month keeps changing itself back to January (it should be April).

Also, I can't figure out how to edit the "My Details" section..

Yes, the profile image is still there. That wasn't our concern. Our concern was the "smoke" / "Drink" / "Orientation" ones. Those weren't appropriate for younger kids.

As for your profile image, it doesn't have to be pretty. It doesn't have to be edited like an avatar is because the picture can be any size.


Mione, we'll see what we can do about the birthdays. It's doing the same for me .. hmm ..

For editing the "My Details" all you can change is which house you're in. To do that you click on "My account" and then "Settings" then "Profile Settings"

But why is all of this required?
Is it all viewable by anyone?
I have no interest in giving any of that information
and I don't want an avitar.
Does it serve some purpose?
And if it's part of this club, why can't members just walk in?
Why have another registration process?

Alright.

Having an avatar is no longer required.

Why do people need to reregister?

Because the software isn't that advanced. The next version they come up with [[hopefully]] will be. Then the members who are already registered don't have to go through it again.

Now. As for giving information.

We'll see what we can do about the required information. For now, just fill in random stuff. As most kids have realized, having a fake birthday isn't too bad. And computers don't know real zip codes from fake ones.

Have a little fun.

Ok, I tried to register.
It says I'm set up, and to check my e-mail.
I gave it a couple of days and got no e-mail.
It still says I'm set up but I can't get past the log-in page.

A week has gone but I'm still waiting for the e-mail...It's very strange. I lose my patience.

Have you checked your "spam" filter?

Oh - you mean the junk mail folder.
I found a message from someone there, but not a confirmation.

Nothing at all?

This is the message I got:
