User profiles
I had a P.M. from Damo6230 kindly inviting me to go breaming in the Blackwood as like me, he is a Busso area resident. Damo mentioned some of the bits in my user profile were familiar being an ex NT resident himself. Out of curiosity i looked at the user profiles of those currently on line and i was a little disapointed to see the majority had no details at all. I understand those of you with extensive contact with the legal system or an unfortunate fascination with goats would be a little reluctant to advertise the fact - but a bit of basic info would be good. Like a lot of users i am familiar with the more prolific and outgoing users such as the Cols, Adam, The Faulkners etc but often wonder about a lot of other less frequent posters. I am not stalking you people but it's nice to know a bit about the posters and a bit of a profile gives an idea.

Good point Ian
I think it is helpful in making this site achieve one of the things it was created to do - bring people with a love of fishing together.

Profile is an effective tool!
I fully agree Ian and this has been brought up many times and more the better i reckon. Doesnt take much as Matt said (not that hard) . I often go into profiles also especially when they ask questions to often not answer their question ie; "where are the tailor biting".....i dont know if he/she's North? or South?....L/B? or boat base? etc and yes it has many other benefits like mentioned!

I agree also
Yep! Profiles are great. In fact, a nice addition to this site would be the ability to search the profiles section by location etc. That way I couldpester locals for a fishing buddy now and again.
Does search already cover this?

you can search by location
just go into Members and click on the location tag and it should come up in alpabetical order.
I use it to PM invites to SW BBQ etc.
(as Ian indicates) I use it regularly and it is a great tool
