Confused?

Have you seen your profile lately?

Really excited about updating you on a cool new feature and a subsequent change to profile pages.

Our own lovebunny project managed things and you can see what's new by taking a look at her profile page. (Thanks for the great feature lovebunny and team, excellent work me thinks!)

Your first thought might be one of panic - "Hey, where are all my old comments?!" - but there's no need to worry - your comments are not gone for good (More news on that soon.)

The thing is, at the moment we're concentrating on building a profile system that makes it easy for you to build a network of the people on lovemoney.com who are saying things you like to hear on topics that are of interest to you. Like a lot of our recent developments, profile pages and networks are logged-in features, so if you haven't yet registered, now's the time to do it.

Once you add someone to your network, their comments, questions, answers and other activities will show up on your profile page, so you can keep on top of the information that matters to you. No more tracking people and their comments across the site - it's now done for you in your very own network feed.

To add people to your network, just click their username or avatar. On their profile page you can learn a little more about them and add them to your network. Or you can use our people search and then add them from there:

Right now we're at the halfway point between the old profile pages and the new profile pages. We still plan to add in a few things, like counts of how many comments, recommendations, reviews and connections you have. For this, and other changes to the site, keep reading this blog!

We also plan to smooth out the behind-the-scenes process so that it's easier for you to add information about yourself (right now you need to go through settings, on the top-right of the page, then hit the 'Edit your profile' button).

If you have any feedback on the changes we have made or plan on making, please feed back below. Our goal is to make this site a super-useful tool to help you become richer, and we hope that this newest feature helps the cause.

 As usual, any feedback would be very useful and helpful for the team....

Enjoyed this? Show it some love

More to the point, I like to look at people saying things I don't like to hear.

That makes me take a step back and question my own strategy!

Excellent point, LastChip! I am the same and fortunately for me there's lots of insights on the site that make me consider my own plans (and generally improve them.)

Thanks for the post, I hope you like the new feature.

Me thinks a video help section should be added - would limit the flow of emails coming through to support.

Thanks OzsWorld, that's a great suggestion. We are at the point where adding new site features is slowing down. I agree, we are at the point where we need some decent 'How To' support. We'll keep you posted but over the coming weeks we definitely intend to add some.

Thanks for the comment!

Good stuff.

Would also help if there were notifications if comments were replied to (like you have just done to mine). I don't know you've commented on my comment unless I've logged back in and specifically checked this article/blog.

Hi OzsWorld,

That's a good point and I have the same issue actually :-) One thing that does help is the new activity feed that you get on your profile page (the page you get when you click your  avatar above in this thread.)

If you add me to your network, you can see what I post on and when, and if you have enough people in your network you get a pretty good idea about who is posting what, where. I am finding it very useful. Although I see that doesn't address your sepcific point.

Thanks for the feedback and stay posted for more new stuff coming up!

Thank you for your evaluation of our ideas, we are really glad to get such a "mark", but our goal is to create something totally new and perfect for you to achieve your gain. In fact, we are russian programmers and we have some great ideas and look forward to working with you as freelancers for realizing our ideas ourselves !!

We offer you to programm our suggestions,

because we know how to do it in a short time.

With that end in view, could you please explain us, how to communicate witn

head of your resaech and development team.                    Thank you beforehand.                                     Sincerely yours!

Hi Kanin,

It's excellent that you like the site and we appreciate the time you've taken to get in contact. I have already passed your comments and ideas to Saul and Charlie, our MD and Tech Director. I've also reviewed them myself. At this time we are focused on a few key projects we are developing and are not looking at outsourcing freelance work or projects - but we'll definitely keep your email should we require freelance to work on R&D and the like in the future.

Thanks again,

Carl
