There has never been any upload to Meet Our Members page. All content on that page is set via the member profile and/or membership management, and by setting the member profile to be public.

The Meet Our Members page is basically a read-only "report" disguised as a web page.

I understand what you are saying, however, I have always been able to sign in as the administrator and then login as a member and I was able to take care of all of that for my club members who are totally not wanting to be bothered or just don't get it.

You have to log in AS THE MEMBER you want to update, that is still possible.

Al,

You can just do all that from Membership Management by clicking the edit profile button for the member of interest. There is no need to login repeatedly as different people. A message is generated for the member so that they know you edited their profile--transparency is part of the approach.

I have never been very keen on the ability to login as another person without their knowledge, regardless of any good intentions. It is a recipe for problems. The ability to do so must always be by permission and with the member's knowledge.

Per my discussion with Brian, I will keep the admin login as member functionality, but subject to some constraints. It will be converted to act similarly as accessing the profile from Membership Management. That means that a member can revoke the admin's ability to edit their profile (it would only be viewable then) and anytime an admin saves edits in the member's profile, a message to the member is generated to inform them that their profile was edited by the admin.

I would *strongly* advise you to focus on the new Membership Management stuff.
