Kat, if you are so worried, when anyone posts on your profile page, answer them by PM (conversation as it is called on here) and delete the post on your profile page. Then no-one can see it. Likewise, never post on anyone else's profile page - send them a PM instead.

I am not over worried , it is just that I don't like the fact that it is so,public on the threads page ...
I hsve happily used the profile page before
But not where all members were viewing ....I fid not know about that ...

So it's a bit like telling your good next door neighbour something (and you don't really want to tell the whole world), but then finding out all the neighbours are behind the fence are listening and then gossiping about it :eek: :wideyed: :stop: is that a fair assumption.......................:shy: :oops:

Profiles were never intended to be a place where users could engage in private conversations - that's what PMs are for.

@Giverny, yes thank you, but I do know that, I did not say 'private or even confidential' in my post, I know how to use the pm system very well. If I wanted to say to a 'friend' on their profile 'Happy Birthday you old so in so', I expect it to stay there and not on show on the front house ?? Is that correct or incorrect ?
Regards RRB

This morning ....when I sent a request to Giverney ....a response was made on this open thread about keeping it more social ...
So it is the pick and mix paper :watching: the response was made to another member ...openenly ...
