Thanks for the information. I did not know that. I have updated my post accordingly. I am still waiting for Groundspeak to answer these questions.

My pleasure. I would still greatly appreciate answers to the questions asked in this post, this post, and this post. Thank you.

Do you speak for Groundspeak? If not, I am still waiting for an official reply. And fresh from the adding insult to injury department, this. Yes, that is my current profile page. Thanks for nothing, Groundspeak.

That would be a clean solution. There are countless of ASP.NET driven websites out there where the owner of the main site has little to no control over the content served by third parties. But there are ways to clean up the code on the server side. Why Groundspeak did not implement something like that remains a mystery. And an insult to people who spent a lot of time and effort to make statistics more enjoyable for other geocachers.

Actually, no. It would, however, make me fundamentally question your level of exertise regarding the prevention of Cross-Site Scripting in ASP.NET.

Do you work for Groundspeak? If not, would someone from Groupspeak care to provide an official response? Including which problem(s) exactly Groundspeak was trying to solve?

The EU-GDPR was implemented on 25 May 2018. Has Groundspeak been breaking EU law for months? If not, which EU-GDPR related issues exactly were addressed by this change to the profile pages?

Well, yes. First we were promised that what worked on the staging site (which was abysmally slow for some reason) would work on the live site. It worked on the staging site, then it didn't work on the live site, and now you're confirming that it won't work again, either. I work in IT. If one of my teams had rolled out a major change like that, I would have summarily fired the entire team. That roll-out was amateurish, and its communication is unprofessional. Many people, myself included, have spent countless hours tweaking their profile pages. You just flushed that work down the proverbial drain. What can we expect in return? Two years of free membership? 2019 is coming, fast. And we still do not have a website that works properly on mobile devices. Where did all the money go which we paid over the last (in my case, nine) years? Was that all spent on amateur bloggers churning out meaningless, ugly souvenirs that are, by now, the only part of our profile over which we have some control? Most GDPR related issues were issues under US law for years. Have you been breaking US law for years? If not, which GDPR related issues exactly were you trying to address? In a nutshell, no. No, Groupspeak, this is not how you roll out a major change to a website with high membership fees. This is not how you treat long-term users and their interests. And no, this is not what I intend to pay for any more. I have three memberships (one with 18186 favourite points), and unless I get something meaningful in return, I do not intend to renew them. Shame on you for this Charlie Foxtrott, Groundspeak. Robin
