Recommendation for everyone

Hey all,
For those that don't know, there are links in your profile that are supposed to allow people viewing your profile to easily see all Resources you have submitterd to the site, resources you have commented on, and resources you have recommended (Rating of 4 or 5). However some time ago (i'm not sure when but a while back) those links stopped working properly.
Those links where very handy, so what I just finished doing and what i'd like to recoemmend everyone else do (or at least those of you who have resources submitted, commented, rated, etc), is use the Talent Details section of my profile to duplicate that broken section in my profile but with valid links.
For those who would like to do this it is very simple.
1) Open up two more browser windows or tabs depending on your preference.
2) In one tab/window open My Garage then in the top left menu box click Edit Profile.
3) In the 3rd tab/window click on the (more) link on the top right of the page just to the right of the search control.
4) On you profile tab/window look for the section that says Long Talent Desription and paste the following text into it:
with your actual name obviously. If you want you can also replace the "x"'s with the actual numbers for each. Or just leave them at x. Your choice.
6) On the tab/window that you clicked "(more)", which is our search tab, click on Search the Resource Database and then click on Advanced.
7) On the search tab/page, about 2/3rds of the way down is a Name field. Type your name in here and just below that select Submitter. Click search. This will pull up all resources you have submitted.
8) Copy the URL of that resulting page from your browsers address/location field. Go to your profile tab/window. Where it says "x resources" you want to put just before the "x" the text (url=) only using straight brackets instead of parens. After the equals (but before the closing bracket) paste your URL. Then after the "resources" add (/url) again using brackets instead of parens.
9) Now go back to your search tab/pane, press BACK on our browser to go back to the search page, and change the selection from Submitter to Commenter and hit search. Again copy the URL and paste it into your profile in the same manner as step 8, only do it on the part that reads "x resource comments".
10) Go back to the search page and change the seection from Commenter to Rater, then below that in the Rating field select 4 - Very Useful, and hit search. This will give you all the resources you recommended. Paste this into your profile in the same manner as step 8, only do it in the "recommended x resources" part.
11) Submit your profile changes, sit back, and smile :)
