Shirt size now required data for User Profile

[Wayne M.]

Tried to log on to Tech Board but get message that I need to update my profile. Seems that a "required" data field now includes shirt size. Is this some kind of Columbus Day / Canadian Thanksgiving day joke ? What next ? waist size ?

Once I complied, all was OK. Any others encounter this ?

I have no idea why shirt size is suddenly critical, but I can virtually guarantee that anything FREE is not being contemplated..........

Re: Shirt size now required data for User Profile

this may simply be a rhetorical discussion, but on the off chance people really do care about why shirt size became a required field in the registration form, we will move this query to the Help forum.
(my guess is that since many sign up to judge, and T-Shirts are frequently the judge's gift, shirt sizes are needed to facilitate that gift).

I received the request too

Inasmuch as you have to register for the meet to judge, somehow the most up-to-date info on shirt size could be assumed to be on the meet registration form. It is, however, good to note that all apparently agree that it would not be FREE.

If anybody wonders why the Corvette Forum gets so many more hits than the NCRS Form, this is a good example!

It could also be because the CF is free to everyone, even those that can't spell.

Hey, I spelled the first one correctly. Give me some credit. Seriously, the annual cost is not significant to most Corvette owners so the difference may be due to perceived value. Requiring shirt size to sign-in is "heavy-handed". It is small hassles like this that degrade this great forum. Another example is the length of time required to develop an online for-sale site and its end structure. It appears from examples like these that the members are not at times viewed customers that have choices. I have chosen to belong to NCRS and this forum. Unfortunately that does not appear to be the case for many Corvette owners.

we could always use an extra volunteer to help setting this up, are you free the next couple of months to implement and test?

Re: Shirt size now required data for User Profile

It was overlooked that the shirt size would be mandatory by default. It has been changed to optional. We use shirt size as was mentioned earlier for judges shirts or having it on hand for purchasing shirts for events. We added this information to the user profile in case members needed to edit the size as they shrink or maybe grow. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Absolutely. Let me know what I can do to assist. NCRS should have my direct phone number and email address. My criticism was not directed at the time to implement but rather the time it took to make the decision to implement.
