over-emphasized Apr 3, 2003

As a statistician, I appreciate every bit of systematic information. But I think the duration of Simple or Platinum membership is over-emphasized where and how it is displayed now.



It should rather be placed at the end of the KudoZ list, and it should be displayed only optionally, like other personal information.



If someone wants to show \"Hey, I\'m here since such a long time!\" it should be his choice. He could include it into his other information. T

Please, take off that stupid date Apr 3, 2003

Who cares when was the last time I paid my dues? I do, ProZ does, my clients could not care a bit. Straighten up things that need changes, and leave alone those that are fine.



Thank you!



P.

That\'s not even the case. That line only shows when you renewed your membership last time. So, in my case, I\'m a Platinum member since 2002, when in fact I became one in 2001...

The date is supposed to be your *start* date (not renewal) Apr 3, 2003

This line is a way of thanking platinum members for their support of the site.



Based on the feedback here, we will de-emphasize the line in profiles. It is true that this need not be a concern for outsourcers.



Note and request: the date is supposed to show the first month in which you became a platinum member. If it does not show that, this is an error (there are many, because of the way the dates were generated automatically.) We are ready to correct th

Sorry, but I'm neither impressed nor convinced Apr 3, 2003

I would have thought there are other, significantly more urgent issues to address.

Sorry, thanks, but no thanks. The information is incorrect, for one thing. And I would think that you\'d just be swamped with requests to change the information to the correct date by everybody.

PLEASE... remove the date and just leave the platinum symbol.

Your Platinum Membership start date is now displayed in your profile and also in the Featured Pro box on the ProZ.com home page. The date displayed initially is the last date your upgraded/renewed your Platinum Membership. If this date is not the actual start date of of your Platinum Membership, please go here to have it corrected.

I agree too that the information is potentially more harmful than helpful.

What was the rationale behind creating this new feature, anyway?

My vote for removal.

Agree with previous postings Apr 5, 2003

I don\'t see the use of this information either.
