I just went through changing a classmate to In Memory. It all went smoothly, and I was happy to see that most folks got an email when the change took place.

I can circulate that idea for future development.

Thanks. I suspect that I could have made some small change to the profile and set it as "Show as updated", but I didn't think of that until afterwards when I noticed that there was no entry in the Profile Update list - which I interpret as "someting changed". Not sure if that would still work after the In Memory changes though.

For the record, I did make a change in the otherwise empty (never joined) profile, set the time zone and saved it with "Show as updated" checked. That, as I'd hoped, put an entry in the profile update list - which when clicked does go directly to the In Memory detail entered.

That is quite the ingenious work around Mr. RunAmok.

Thanks! You never know (until you try) how a combination such as a classmate who hadn't joined and was moved to In Memory, and an invisible profile change to an otherwise empty profile might function - but it worked perfectly in this case. It actually accomplished two objectives: First, those who 'drive by' the site will see an update and check it out. And second, the 85% of our classmates on this older site who hadn't set any of the new Notify Me options (but had originally set the option to be notified on profile updates) got notified. I'll probably continue to do this in our environment where participation has dwindled since the reunion, while encouraging classmates to log back in and change their Notify Me choices. I'd still like to see an entry in the Profile Update list for a 'status change' like a move to In Memory, but if that was implemented it would probably be better for most sites if it didn't generate a profile change email for those who have - for some reason - selected notifications for profile updates but not In Memory updates.
