flaws in system that editing of profiles can be done by people other than Mods.

thanks,

Personally I think that's the best solution. Because no MOD for example should be able to edit the profile of another MODs or even the admins.

My profile was updated yesterday including the Biography part and was read by at least one moderator. Later in the day when I returned to check the profile the bio part had mysteriously disappeared.

I have found a context when this anomaly happens, Lee ?

This bug has been fixed

The system was the culprit to this, not a moderator or anyone else.

The system was deleting the bios everytime it updated the system info. It reload everything except the biost for some reason. Now that this has been addressed it shouldn't be a problem any longer.
