    What happened to the About Me, Hobbies, Favourite Movies/Bands, etc. sections on profiles? Hopefully they're brought back eventually.

    I'd guess it's something to do with GDPR, because everything is.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    There's some commentary in a current Help Desk thread:

    As Tom says - it's probably to do with GDPR, and removing fields/information where posters may inadvertently leave personal info up

    Yes, these fields were removed in relation to GDPR. We hope to restore some, but require a little development work to further clarify why we are asking for this information (even though it's optional) and to explain how it will be used or displayed.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    That makes sense. Thanks.
