There may be some who do it just because they never go to their page and don't want people to feel bad if they post a message and it doesn't get seen or replied to for a long time. |

I have changed mine to mostly "registered members". I think if someone is interested enough to want to look at my boring page, they should at least be registered with YT. |
I became friends with Nancy when I first started to beautiful my profile. It was Halloween and we went back and forth looking at each others pages and helped to tweak them to perfection. There are others that I post to their pages too and never PM with. I just never noticed this prior to this past year when more and more pages became closed. I've handed out my email and phone number to members that needed help for various reasons. So to have a page blocked is just odd. |

There have been a few times I have wanted to leave comments on a members page and was not able to. I wondered if it was just me. Glad I am not alone. :) Comfort in numbers. |
I'm not sure if unregistered members can view profile pages either, but one of the options is "Registered Members". I will changing my profile to "Registered Members". As far as whether or not profile pages are public or private, I do believe that it should be a personal choice for ALL YT members Vendor or not. I don't know if my sales are typical, but the majority of my business takes place either in the public part of the forum, via pm's or contacting a my website. It seems like it would be easier for a newby to hit the reply button in a sales thread and type a question to a vender if they don't understand the pm function. I respect all of the hard work that many members put into decorating their profile pages. However, I am not a fan of the "decorations" and have the "hide customization" turned on. I guess this is what makes our YT world interesting -- we are thousands of individuals each with our own personal preferences. |

Everyone Friends Contacts Registered Members So this is even more bothersome since it would seems to me that only "friends and contacts" can be chosen as an option. So I guess those vendors that have chosen this option should only expect sales from their friends. Sounds like a pretty small circle for business. |
Here's the vendors list: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ore-sites.html, and you can see the second part of the link gives the vendors' profile page. For those vendors who wish to keep their profile pages set to private, I could change the link to a PM to you. Let me know on this thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tes...g-test-16.html, if that's what you wish to do. |

I haven't seen any YT Vendor who uses the profile page for sales. Shoot, I have been selling at YT since 2004 and the thought never even occurred to me. Advertising and sales should take place in the Sales Forums. Contacting vendors can take place publicly in the Sales Forums, privately via pm's or by visiting vendor's websites. I do understand that some people post on profile pages -- both praises and complaints, but the appropriate place for reviews is in the Review section. Other than an alternative method for contacting a member, I don't see what the profile page has to do with selling. To me it would open a backdoor way for non-contrtibuting members to sell which would be grossly unfair to those of us who do contribute. |
