How Can My Multiple Community Profiles Be Merged

I have 3 Mathwork community profiles. One from my current company, another associated with my personal email and a third from my previous employer. Is there a way to merge the profiles into one?

[Ajay Kumar]

I don't think we have something like that.

Even if sometimes staff members look on this forum and post from time to time, the help on this forum is mostly provided by people who are doing this as a volunteer. You can contact Mathworks support directly with the Contact Us button at the top of the page.

Is this a case of MMCCPD? Multiple MATLAB Central Community Profile Disorder?

Did you manage to find a solution? I'm in a similar boat.

@Leonardo Maia Did you read the answer?

[Star Strider]

As an interim approach, provide the URLs of the other two profile pages in each profile page. Attach a small description to each URL if necessary (and desired). That would at least make them easier to find.

@Rik Yes, I did read the comment. And that's why I contacted costumer support earlier today but also decided to check with OP in case he had success contacting support himself.

You cannot merge them yourself. We could not help you directly to do so either. That is, an MVP on the site does not have the power to do what you wish.

Could someone do it for you though? Thus perhaps the site admin? Possibly, if you talked very nicely to them. ;-) After all, all of this is database driven. Someone could in theory go into the database and merge the respective sets of information into one profile. I'm not saying they would make the effort to do so of course, as the postulated individual has real work to do as a full time job, that does not involve side projects. So by taking their time away from their real job, you also cost them some time from their job to make true site improvements. And I can state for a fact that there is indeed constant work ongoing to improve the site.

So you would need to convince some individual with the ability to edit the site databases to do this task, that your wish to coallesce your multiple profile personalities into one profile is worth the investment of their time. After all, what does it really cost you if there are there are three or one?

My guess is, unless you could find someone on a very good day when they had some totally free time to play around, you will not have success. Remember that by hacking a large database as would be necessary, they might also cause some unforeseen problem. So send the site a request, via Contact Us. Explain why it is important to you. And hope you get lucky if it really is important.
