| Who on this forum would like to see some kind of notation in the creator's list that indicates the creator did not fill out their profile and/or their level of expertise?taxea | |

| TaxEA, the problem is more complex than just that: many DIY'ers google their topic, click a link, and are directed to an old thread here. They then just sign in and append their question to the thread without ever knowing that a profile is requested OR more importantly, that this forum is for professionals. They skip the whole front page of the website, and because they are not asking a new question, never get (strongly) asked to create a profile.
The better solution would be to not allow any post without a profile. Even our long-term quality anonymous posters could write "20 years experience" and be done. I think one profile does say "many years experience" now that I think of it. But then they are not asking questions, they are answering them. | |
