No messing around, straight into something useful that people could take away and use, and not a sales pitch, like the others.

I have signed up for the #moodle #MootGlobal25 in Edinburgh, really looking forward to going - will hopefully be selected to present something.

This is a really good article and one that is very pertinent. a couple of my clients are currently grappling with this issue - but it is really tricky, as it doesn't seem to be clear where something stops being a digital asset, and starts being a taught course.

I am using Bluesky to try and recreate the early days of 'the other' platform - e.g. when it was good, and it felt like I was interacting with real people (most of whom I knew) rather than corporate accounts, advertising and general rubbish, #ALTM25

So what I am trying to do is work out why the one that is working is doing what it does, so I can do the same to the other one. The settings in the profile are identical (apart from different name, and options etc). It has totally confuddled me

In general the profile fields that are on the sign up page, appear in the table, the ones that aren't don't (which I guess is an expected behaviour) - but I have one field that is not on the sign up page, that is populating and an identical one that isn't.

The fields are NOT set to appear on the sign up page (and must not be). However, one of the fields populates, and the other one doesn't - these are the settings.
