Hi :) Errrr, wrt to the older User Profile page 1. i found the Faq pointed to the older one so i fixed that to point at the updated one 2. when the older one is ready to be deleted it's "best practice" to keep it but make it into a redirect so that people landing on the older one find themselves on the newer one.
Many people probably have bookmarked, or articles or whatnot may link to the older one. It'd be nice to avoid breaking those links and help them get to the correct place.
