Yes, I have nothing against it.

What about the From field?

I hope it's not removed, it's actually useful when people are asking for links to computer parts and knowing where in the world they are helps provide relevant links.

As for the post count and join dates, it really doesn't matter one way or the other to me.

Same for me, doesn't matter. Don't have much posts at the moment anyway. Can't think of a benifit for showing the post count or join date as well.

*no post count*

*no join date*

*dont need 'from'

*dont need member number*

Thats all you really need. The warn should show up for yourself and the mods/admin. At lvl 60 it should have a confirmation with the post so you think twice before you post.

I'm not asking it to be removed, just asking if it would be moved the same way to the profile page.

I don't care too much about the post count...but seeing the warning level during post should stay. I was given a warning increase by mistake because it was suppose to be just a verbal reprimand, I hardly visit my own profile and probably would never have caught it with time to question it or have it corrected..had it not been shown with post...as for the stress..the only stress one should have is using common sense before posting...because you CAN see your warning levels more often.

I suspect that:

Voters of 'Yes, hide it in the profiles' would not alter their posting behaviour if post counts were moved to profiles

Voters of 'No, keep it where it is' would in fact be less likely to post if post counts were moved to profiles, as this seems to be something important to them

I may be wrong here, but, if that is true, then it would make sense to keep things as they are. :)

Would you keep the Stars? And the Group associated with it?

I was thinking of moving just the actual count but leaving the Starts and Badge. Different staffers may have different ideas but this was what I assumed.

I would personally prefer to keep the post count, but if people don't want it then so be it. Can we keep the stars? its one thing knowing who is new, but I'd like to know who are major contributors.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
