WC- Is there a respectful way to change a members profile on FFN so s they're still listed but obviously recognised or identified as being passed away.
It'd potentially also stop other members unaware of the situation posting untowards comments or making friend requests on that persons profile, etc.

I agree, it would be a nice way to have a memorial to our fallen brothers and sisters. Possibly create a memorial section and transfer the necessary profiles to that section vs having them listed as an active member -
It would also be nice to be able to light a candle in their memory.
Just a thought

Actually have gotten a few emails suggesting the same thing this morning along the lines of a FFN Member Memorial Page... Ill add it to the plans for the expanded site this Spring and Summer. Unfortunately, there's no way to manually put something in their profile but I'll check with the developers.
