ProBoards - Privacy PSA

[litasail]

Hey guys - the only tiny detractor about ProBoards is that it defaults to show your full birthdate (month, day, year) in your profile, which I'm sure some of the privacy conscious among us are not cool with.

You can turn it off, though - go into your profile, modify profile, and choose "no" on "show age."

thanks - I made this an announcement so everyone can see it. I am not sure if it shows your email by default or not but if so you should hide that, too.

Yes, and I would like to know how you can see past posts that you've made. Is there some way to see that?

Click your name.

But it really doesn't matter if you've put your birthday as Jan 1, 1900.

If you click on the Profile at the top menu bar, it'll show you your 10 most recent posts.

Thank you! I kind of liked that it showed my age, but showing my birthdate too is something I'll take a pass on. Changing that now.

How do you change the birthdate you put in??.... I can't find anywhere that lets me change it- only whether I want it hidden or not.
