my profile page

[mpcrsc562]

if i give the url of my profile page to someone (Windows 7 Forums - View Profile: mpcrsc562), will he or she be able to search my page even though he or she is not a Seven Forums member?

It depends on the permissions you have in effect...

Click on UserCP->Profile Privacy->Adjust it for your needs

Hello Marvin,

I just tested it, and yes they can view your User Profile page link even as a nonmember.

 

[mpcrsc562]

Thanks to both of you.
The same goes for Vista Forums too? (Click on UserCP->Profile Privacy->Adjust it for your need)

 

[Brink]

Yes, the same goes at Vista Forums as well.

 

[mpcrsc562]

Thank you for your help!

And the same for theeightforums.

You're welcome Marvin.

since i started the thread here in seven forums, i'll keep it going here...
here's the problem i'm having with the url at vista forums:

(i have the same settings for both forums and but can't see the page in vista forums )

It looks like the settings have been changed at Vista Forums to where you must be logged in to view a member's profile page.

i suppose it's not too big of a deal... windows 7 is where we [all] are headed for anyway, right?:sarc:

thanks to all for your very swift help!

Would it be better if this was the default setting on all the forums for security reasons?

Isn't their actually a few settings that Vistax64 has in place over SF?

...and I agree to Dwarf's comment

i agree to a degree... i'm trying to do a career transition (diesel / auto mechanic by trade trying to translate / transform myself to an IT guy) and having a my profile to show that i'm into [trying to] help others (and learn in the process) while having a little fun too, should help... right? i'd rather have a potential employer look at my SF profile page than a FB page with maybe some questionable content contained within (even though i'm not on FB), but you catch my drift, right?

Well, yes and no I suppose.

The user profile page will not show anything that a member doesn't fill in or allow, so it will be completely up to the member what they want displayed.

It could also be helpful to always display if used as Martin described.
