Disclaimer: I haven't managed to catch up in here yet, so I've not read in quite awhile, sorry if I ask something that has been handled already.

Can someone tell me what would happen if I delete the profile name from my profile? I don't even remember putting it there, but if I did, and it causes my profile to be viewable, I would like to prevent that.

Thanks,

Brenda

Brenda,

Can someone tell me what would happen if I delete the profile name from
my profile?

If you delete the Profile Name (formerly known as the "User Name") then your profile will no longer be accessible by others.

Wherever your content appears (such as message posts) your Display Name is shown as the author. If you have a Profile Name set, then your Display Name becomes a link to your Profile (and your Profile name is part of the URL under that link). With no Profile name set there is no link, and your Display Name appears as plain text.

The information other people can see at your profile (if you leave it viewable) is:

o your Display Name and Photo (which of course they see anyway),
o your Profile Name,
o the date you joined Groups.io, and
o a list of the group memberships you have.

I believe that list includes only groups which are listed in the Groups.io directory, but that should be double-checked if it is important to you.

I don't even remember putting it there, but if I did, and it
causes my profile to be viewable, I would like to prevent that.

Delete it then.

Thanks Shal,

I got concerned when things were posted about a public profile, and I prefer to be less easy to find online. :)

I deleted it, and feel a lot better.
