Q: User product version in https://discussions.apple.com/

Automatically, no.

ron...........

I have to disagree with Barry - the Original Poster (YOU in in this case - ME proving it  in this example) gets their My products automatically inserted at the end of the OP.

Pismo: USB 2.0 thumb drive - will it work at all? | Apple Support Communities

Where at the end of the OP there two lines of products listed

1. " -- " preceding list = Copy/Paste the list that appears at the bottom of the OP COMPOSE  pane
2. The list that AUTOMATICALLY  inserts itself at the end of the OP

Apparently, the opportunity to add your products presented itself during AppleID creation in at least the LAST iteration of the SiteWare. Thats when I remember doing it.

You can ADD MY PRODUCTS on your "Your Profile" page under the "Bio" category - it's at the bottom (kinda obscure spot, but that's where it is)

When you click the "Add a product", it takes you to a new Wizard-like page to do the deed.

Unfortunately, the only way to get at that list at other times is on your Bio page, say if you were replying and thought your products were germane to the discussion.

A workaround I use is that I have used System Profiler to get detailed info about my Pismo AND my browser info (Firefox-About Firefox) and then stored it all in a handy place - a Signature in Entourage (my Mail Client) that is always open - just switch to MS-E and copy it from there and voila PASTE

You could use anything you want - Stickies for example, floating and window-shade rolled up.

Hope this helps, and that you are still following after Barry's answer.

In the last iteration, the profile was added automatically to every original post. If you wanted it to show in subsequent posts, you had to use the advanced editor. Now that they've re-instituted the products list, I'm using the advanced editor to reply and see if the behavior is still the same.

Edit: I just did use the advanced editor and my profile is not showing. They might not have re-enabled that part of the feature (yet)?

It is not available in the Advanced Editor as before.

I dont know if ronanhaim did this after his OP or my Reply but here is what HIS Bio page sez

EDIT = sub .jpg for .tiff (strange that SiteWare has no prob with other file formats [extension?])

Without knowing when and whether whatever - the first line appears at the end of his OP

Most of us rarely respond to other than the OP. However, since my name was mentioned twice, I will. I suggest you (ChitlinsCC) limit your responses to the OP; there is no need to comment on or evaluate other's posts (people who are frequently quite experienced on a variety of Apple products). Your personal view of other's posts is irrelevant. The hosts have recommended that we limit comments to the OP's posts.

To reiterate, the OP's question was "could product and software information be automatically added to the profile." The answer is still NO. We all understand the current version of ASC now adds product and software information to an OP's original post.

Hopefully this will clarify, ronenheim's products were part his Bio yesterday, long before anybody answered.

When you click the "Add a product", it takes you to a new Wizard-like page to do the deed.

I need to edit my version info, but I can't see how to edit without removing what is already there.

Anyone using a TextExpander, TypeIt4Me or even System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts could put their info and assign a shortcut to expand. I used to use this method when filling out bug reports for Office.

[1] i see what you mean, I think (?) - could you just start over as an Add Product then make it the Default and delete the old one?

[2] I guess these are utilities of some sort - not browser add-ons?

[3] I thought aha! but then... I can't quickly figger out how to do it though I will give it some more work later (HINT HINT - tips would be nice - keep it in the system so to speak with this method)

I can figger a way to get all the stuff into the default using the "other details" field... pretty sure Ian did his that way (first line is default - other two don't display in an OP)
