Yahoo! has changed their profile system and more has changed besides the layout of the page. When transitioning to the new system all of the user data was cleared and pages for aliases were removed. Additionally, personal information such as age and location are now protected in a manner similar to Facebook or MySpace where you must be accepted by the user.

Apparently many users are not happy with the new system as shown in (http://www.yprofileblog.com/blog/2008/10/17/managing-your-alias-and-profile/), (http://www.ymessengerblog.com), and (http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/19/017209). I personally noticed the changes when I looked up someone’s profile and saw that all of the information had been cleared. If for some reason you consider you profile page a work of art and need all of the information back then you can request a copy of the old profile page from Yahoo!
