Old Profile Retirement Update
With today’s release, the old profile page is retired. As of today, all players are moved to the new profile look.
As we shared in October, this step is critical to streamlining the website experience, and will help improve our ability to make future improvements to the profile page. Since the announcement of the retirement of the old page, less than 5% of active players have opted to go back to the old profile page.
In addition, we would like to extend a special thank you to players who have noted privacy concerns with the profile page email flow. In addition to retiring the old profile, we have also streamlined the email feature to use the secure Geocaching.com email flow exclusively, which will prevent private email addresses from being shared unintentionally. If you would like to share your email address with other players it can be added to the “About” section of your profile.
We would also like to thank everyone who shared feedback on this retirement and the future of the profile page. We have a great list of potential features for consideration! As an example, we have received a lot of feedback that the “edit” option is not as easy to find on the new profile page as it was on the old one. We are working now on an update to make this option easier to find. Until then, here’s a screenshot to help locate the edit option on the new profile.
Thank you again for your continued support. We welcome your continued feedback, and will ensure all ideas are considered and evaluated for future updates to the profile page.
