As for members who *do* login but don't update their timeline, I don't have a solution for that. There are some people who just aren't going to play ball, and I guess that's their choice. Fortunately I think it's a pretty small group of people that choose that route, so it's not too bad. But I suspect that timeline abandoners skew the timelines noticeably.
Here's a different wrinkle: There seems to be no vehicle for reporting valid timelines when relationships have been abandoned. Read this from the fiancee:
>HELLO:
>
>Tonight I will be traveling to Cuenca, what about if we talk on tuesday night..... We need to talk about our relashionship.......ok.
>
>Take care
>Cristina
It is not known what this "talk" will entail, but I suspect that she will be dumping me in favor of her new business or for other reasons. I don't plan to push her too hard unless there's an opening for things to get better, but the question for me is, if she says "I need more time" (to decide, to build her business, whatever), to decide for myself whether things can be salvaged and/or how long I intend to continue to let my feelings be disrespected and disregarded. (She did NOT react to the news of our papers heading to the consulate as a loving other-half would/should.)
The above is a circular way of asking this: Because there is precious little information on Ecuador timelines, and because the papers have made much (most?) of their route through the immigration system, is there a mechanism via which "partial" processing information/timelines from abandoned relationships can remain on VJ for the help of others, and to build on existing information that may be sparse? Or is this a Cap'n Ewok question?
Any and all responses to the direct question and to the situation will be appreciated.
We all have our own way of doing things and our own priorities but it is defo nice to know all our options 
You're a fair cop.
