Some show a load of details ie age, occupation, hobbies, location etc while others show little or nothing.
Should these details be mandatory on joining the forum or not ?

Nah, say as much or as little as you like IMO. You'll be judged on your contribution anyway, not your social background.

Re: Members profile
What difference does it make to how or why you contribute to a forum? If I want people to know things about me I'll tell them. I don't even have myself searchable on social media. I don't have where I work, where I went to school or update to say when I'm on holiday.
I like to keep most things about myself to myself.
I sound like an old fart lol

Re: Members profile
I think a location should be mandatory. It frustrates me when people are selling/wanting to buy things and you haven't got a clue if they are in Lands End or Inverness !

Re: Members profile
Yeah totally with the sales location. Often the prices are pick up which I don't mind doing at all but often it's not mentioned and could be on for a day out to pick it up!

Re: Members profile
I'm pretty paranoid about having too many details on the Internet so would choose to leave if it became mandatory on an open forum.
Plus if I had to be honest with those details you would all assume I was a boring git before you'd even met me
