  Hide Unpopulated Fields on the Member Profile Currently when you go to your My Profile page, every publicly available field shows up even if it has not been populated with data.  Who wants to see fields that they specifically chose not to fill in?  Why litter the Profile page with unused fields?  All fields should only show up when you go into the Edit mode.   I like to run a clean web site and I can't figure out why the current functionality works the way it does.

This applies at least to checkboxes and  text fields. I will move this to the wishlist and let's see what people think. Dmitry Buterin, Chief Apricot
