I just spend 15 minutes + updating my interests (I still have biography to do) and was just finished the the interests section and clicked to submit it to my community profile and there was no affect....I will try again later but that was a lot of work...
Just thought I would let the tech people know in case I am not the only person who had a problem.

I do enjoy the forums, haven't tried the chat yet...

If it takes longer than 3 minutes to type it out, after you are finished copy that entire message/profile first with a Ctrl C, then click Submit. If the post doesn't go through because of the timer, bring up the screen again and click Ctrl V (paste) into the reply box again and click Submit right away.
