I think the new social stuff is great. I have a website where the members of the website would like to be able to view the profile information of other members. For example, if I enter a biography other members should be able to view my profile page and see this information. I changed the configuration to allow all members to see this profile item and it still displays on the profile page as ******.

This is frustrating my customer who would like to have this information available to help members of the site get to know each other better. The philosophy is that the members only need enter the information they want others to see.

Being a friend doesn't seem to affect this either.

If this is posted elsewhere please accept my apology. I spent about a half hour searching for a related item and can't find anything that addresses this issue.

I found that I can correct the user settings using the updateuserprofileproperty procedure. To update an entire user, I did the following:

select 'exec auhmwdne_vktp.dbo.updateuserprofileproperty -1, ' + str(UserID)+ ', ''' + str(PropertyDefinitionID)
           + ''', ''' + propertyvalue + ''', 0, '''', ''6/27/2012'';' as execvalue
 from auhmwdne_vktp.dbo.userprofile
where propertydefinitionid > 26
and propertydefinitionid < 39
and userid = 3

For this community, we want basically everything the user enters to be seen by others.

I also found that there must be a maximum length for the biography. I have a member of the site who has a very long biography and his profile is not displayed if the biography is visible.

Does anyone know the max length?
