Ill have the engineering department follow up on this and see if its been removed from the template. Will update when i have further details, thanks for the help for now.
@PitaJ it seems I cant find the "edit profile" link anywhere on our forum (might be an issue with the theme/skin thats currently applied). I can access this manually however so that will do the trick. Thanks a lot. I'm not sure if I can mark it as solved myself but that has resolved my issue for the time being.
