I've just tried to update my profile as requested and, though I've completed everything asked, it still tells me my profile is only 90% complete. Can't work out why or see place for further entries. Is this just me being dim?

Hi,

I seem to remember I had the same problem when I updated my profile some two years ago. I don't think it's you at all, but something to do with the system. Anyway, I decided if it was 90% full, then that would have to do!

PS: Maybe someone will come back and tell me I'm wrong!

Same with me....

No Maria, mines the same 90% l think for me it’s something to do with my post code because l’ve moved house since l created my profile.

But l’ve just looked at yours & you haven’t added a photo in the Avatar (your profile picture) it doesn’t have to be of you & there’s a space to have your Banner Photo too, so that may make you 100%

Kind Regards

MrsN

Thanks for that. I don't at the moment have a facility for taking digital photos - I'm waiting for my ancient dumb phone to expire before acquiring a smart one.

It’s good to keep 10% to ourselves! 😉

I will have a look and see if I can tell what's missing but dont worry 90% is great. YBB

Mine says 90% I think - the only thing I haven't put something in is "illnesses interested in" or whatever it is! And someone suggested it may be not having a "real" picture as an avatar - well, tough!!!!!

Mine changed from 90% to 100% when I added a banner photo....

Will have to get back to you on that! I can’t remember the name of the mountain and I am on a train just now. I was staying in Villabassa at the time though so it wouldn’t have been too far from there. I picked it as I like being up mountains and it was a nice panoramic photo so it fitted in the banner space!

Niederdorf in Pustertal you mean? It's about 25km from me :)

Highlandtiger in reply toPMRpro

Yes that’s it. I loved it. Lucky you!

The scenery was fab but so was all the historical stuff. I hadn’t realised it had played such a big part in both the First and Second World Wars before I went. Hearing about the trench warfare on top of Monte Piana (? - I think that was the name) was quite humbling.

Oh yes - you learn a lot of history when you live here! And yes - Monte Piana.

It's a picture of Paddington in Paddington station.

in reply toHeronNS

I thought it was a Canadian bear 😂😂😂 I haven't been to Paddington station. My trains terminate in at st pancras and I have been to kings cross too.

I believe it was 2014. There were Paddingtons all over the place as an anniversary thing, and I happened to be staying in a small hotel in the area so I took pics of the Paddingtons I came across - including this one who is actually in the station. A week in the UK was my retirement gift to myself. I worked my last shift on the Monday and took off for the UK for a week the following day. I think I had PMR by then, but didn't know it yet and I did very well while away but kind of fell apart when I got home. Wasn't diagnosed until the following June.

I am glad you got to enjoy your visit before PMR overtook you. I like the bronze Paddington and the photograph at at Paul's is nice. It's years since I have visited London. I did live in a campervan down by Victoria just a walk from Westminster. I found a beheaded parking metering a back street, and worked a couple of cleaning jobs down there in the early 90s. I had done conferences in the fringes but I don't think I could cope there now.

I didn't expect to do well, thought I'd be a mess after my first day which I spent walking around London, visiting British Museum etc, with all my heavy valuables and a water bottle in a backpack. But I was fine, I think because I had left all my stresses behind, only to be completely flattened by them upon my return.

in reply toHeronNS

It does show you the power of stress. Also giving up work is a big thing too. I used to collapse almost at the end of each teaching year like a ragdoll!

Same with me, and mine used to be 100%. I can no longer enter my postal code so I figure that's all. But it does make it impossible for me to be situated accurately on that page where they find people who live near you.

in reply toHeronNS

I think you & me both are Post Code Girls!

I think the system is a bit buggy. It took a couple of years before it would agree to accept my version of my birthdate. It always wanted to make me a day older. Now it says my postal code is invalid for my country. Sigh.
