Please post all feedback related to the newly updated user profiles in this thread!  Here's a quick recap of some of the changes:

• We've made some dramatic changes to the display of data, removing a lot of the clutter.
• Profile Banners - We've added the ability to create a special custom banner for your profile.
• Announcements - You can now post an announcement at the top of your profile in the middle column.
• Your profile picture and avatar picture is now separate from each other.  You can have different images for them if you'd like.

Please head over and take a look, then tell us what you think!

Hello, my profile has a dead link under "My Activity" to http://my.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/CooldownWatch.aspx, which should be http://www.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/cooldown-watch.aspx. So both the server and the page name are wrong.

Let me turn off the display of my age.  That's my info to choose to share, not yours.  I gave you my birthdate as a courtesy, not so you could plaster it on a profile for everyone to look at.

That, or give me the ability to edit my age so I can be some ridiulous number like 187.  I doubt that's the better choice.

As an aside, I am very irritated with this website for its sneaky practices.  The client is going to give me pop-up ads?  It automatically installed a data-miner (against WoW's TOS) and will automatically share my character profiles?  I uninstalled it, but it's really shady to not announce it in a really obvious fashion.  Sorry, an entry in the activity log will not tell the user that they are violating TOS by leaving it installed.

The client page states that it uses the profiler to gather character profile data.  You can actually disable this, though.  Did you download it from the client page or a direct link?

I've added the age display to our list of needed changes.  You should definitely be able to toggle that.

so when r char profiles going to be up i haVE been trying to up load my char for 7 mos whats up

spence

I have made a mistake when JOINing your comunity and  write down wrong date of birth of mine... year 2008 instead of 1983... Is there someone whom I can contact to correct that mistake?

Regardless of what the Client page says, the Curse Client installed something NEW without our clear knowledge or consent.

I've only had the Curse Client for under a month, after a lot of fear & doubt I finally gave in (especially after WoWAce Updater was given the can) and installed it, up until this sneaky behaviour I have been pleasantly surprised.

However now that my fears have been confirmed and your actions exposed I will a) never ever be paying for the premium client b) un-installing your program and c) telling everyone I know about this.

The facts are, I did not have this mod up until the 3rd, it is now on there & I did not know about it. For someone already worried about security issues, how can anyone at Curse honestly convince me that something "dodgy" can't be installed? It's bad enough that the rare occurance of a dodgy update slip through, but a total new mod? Wrong Wrong Wrong.

It isn't something new.  The Curse Profiler is part of the Curse Client package.  As the client page states.

I'm sorry you feel that this is "dodgy" and won't be using it, I wish you the best of luck in finding an updater you're happy with.

I am very confident that when I downloaded the Client package on October 19th, there was no mod installed by default, I did notice it installed by default on a new install yesterday. Checked my main PC and it had an install date of the 4th.

Are you gauranteeing me that it was always installed, and the Client cannot or would not ever be used to install a new mod without my knowing?

If so, I apologise.

It's supposed to be installed by default, yes.  It sounds like the new version of the profiler to work with 3.0 was sent out yesterday to you.

@Powerkeyweb

you should be able to modify your birthdate in the account settings of your profile page.

hi i am anew user and as of yet i have not downloaded any addons as i can not confirm my email address , i have followed the links as asked but still nothin, i have also tried the temp logging but that didnt work either. i have the splash screen which asks you for you account name and password i have hit the link recover password and this takes me to this site . i have entered my email address and recieved and email with a link so i go there to change password but i cant because i really dont remember my original which you need to reset you password

pls help im gettin really frustated

thanks

The password you get in your email is the "current password" that you use to change your password to a new one.

thanks for that will try again thanks

:)

hi well i tried that in the profile part of "change password with the 28 digit code and it comes up with "no such username"

also tried in the splash screen with my username and use this as the 28 digit code but still nothin :(

How do I delete a character, or at least make a character private, from my profile on WoWDB? If these options are not available, then they should be. Magelo allows this and I am quite surprised that I cannot do this here.
