USER PROFILE - Inserting bus & engine info

[ewo1]

So I figured out how we can very easily insert our bus engine and tranny info into our profile header...real easy guys.
We all know how useful this is when trying to help another member with their issues.

How to do it in a few simple steps.

1) In the yellow bar under the blue bus, click on your screen name. a second window will open up
2) Click on account details
3) scroll down to where it says custom title, on that line add in the bus info.
4) hit save. It may ask for some more required info like your first name, I just put in the first letter of my screen name. I am not interested in my info being on the internet.

That is it, real easy, really simple to do. Now get to it!

I love this man. knows no barriers. Only hurtles & he has a jet-pack brain. effin awesome

Lets have a ways and means commitee.

manually speaking to each member to pass down the knowledge gained from a previous generation.like fb, just keep repeating the same basics.

Yeah, that's not an upgrade to software.
that's self-crippling, self-cannibalizing, block busting. whatever, give it a name. same result.

mismanagement is not management. These systems ought to manage better with time not mis-manage or disassemble, reverting backwards....

Hanlon's Razor
- "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity,"

Provides a mental shortcut to favor simpler explanations like ignorance or incompetence over assuming malicious intent.

the data cells still exist. they are located in the [ABOUT] spreadsheet. the individual cell data could easily be added to our names. one copy & paste. they were linked prior to the new install. the links already exist.
instead the administrators would have each of us to manually rewrite all of those fields?
NO.Who has the easiest Ways And Means?
the installers.
Someone is choosing NOT to instruct the installers to complete the install in accordance with the USERS' standards. (consumers)

ie, management and contractors are speaking to eachother and spending reserves but not actually involving the thousands of data entry folks who actually use the product.

again, this is a 1990s database install, including all of the elementary & ancient pitfalls taught in all management feilds. hacks doing a hack job.

we are not a bunch of dumb greasers. most of our members know more than I've written already....

will the programmers, application installers and dBase admin folks please chime in.

I really didn't read the title. I should have posted this in Janet's thread.
I still agree, it's a terrificworkaround Ewo1.
Rucker was doing that on the old system. some newbies responded ill toward him in the face of labeled blank fields .
