I am unable to view profiles when I am logged on.
This is a bug that is under investigation Cathy
I have been thinking tho - by making too much available to others, this could identify you which given some of the discussions on the boards, is not always a good thing. Some of the issues discussed about companies or individuals within companies can be quite sensitive, who is to say they would not log on and recognise what is being said and work out who is posting?
Maybe I am just being over cautious.
One can never be over cautious on the Internet and the rule we should employ is "if I am not comfortable anyone else knowing this and identifying it with me I shouldn't post it"
As I said earlier in this topic I use my real name on here because it is a professional forum and I have a professional reputation, which I am proud of and which I see no reason to hide - I think about what I am posting and if there are controversial things I have posted it is because I am comfortable that I would say those things within my workplace publicly so there is no reason not to include them on here if they may help others who cannot speak out as readily.
If you do an online search on me you will find me linked to the job I do - but you will also find a much better known namesake who is something legal in the US ... I have no problem if anyone wishes to search online about me because they will find out very little.
Every other forum/membership site I am on I use a name which is not my own and I only ever provide my first name and general location, I avoid providing my date of birth and am careful which security questions I use for password reminders.
We should all be sensible about what we post online and take good care not to jeopardise ourselves. If we are sensible there should be no need to worry.
