I feel really silly having to ask this, but how do you update the "more information" section of your profile?? When I click on edit there's no field for that.

I just looked at this again yesterday to update mine and it's not super obvious. Hover your mouse of the red-colored "EDIT TEXT" and then click "Edit Properties" when it pops up:

Thanks for the reply Jason. Unfortunately, I don't have the "edit text" button that you showed. I tried Safari and Chrome just in case it was a browser problem, but no luck with either :/

Mine also has the red "EDIT TEXT", like Jason's.

I get the same user experience as Jaime T. I cannot see the "EDIT TEXT" link for the "More information" section:

For someone who can actually see the "EDIT TEXT" link, could you paste the URL here? (Right Click on Link => Copy Link Address)

I looked at the source and the link goes to a page to edit an "object" that has a different a name tag than one's profile. In my case the link is https://www.mountainproject.com/scripts/EditObject.php?id=XXXXXXXXX&action=edit (I removed the "a name" tag from my link here.) I looked at the source for your profile page and you don't have an a name tag for the "More information" area. I checked Jon's profile page and he does the the a name tag. I checked Jamie T's profile page and no a name tag. I'll make the head honcho aware of this issue.

Hi all I'm having this same issue - can't figure out how to edit the More Info section. Thanks so much for your help

We had to disable the More Info feature temporarily, until we finish some spam prevention work.  It will be back soon.
