If you click to the "What's new" section then scroll down to the "Latest profile posts" part I'm seeing a couple forum member's profile posts which includes their phone numbers. Shouldn't these posts be private?
I've seen those posts too. Don't know what to make of them. But, if they're puting their numbers out there, it's their choice. They gotta know it's going to be seen.
If you open a member profile you will notice there is a text line for posting on the profile. This will show as a "notification" for the recipient. This also appears to be public access.
Please note there is a separate button on the profile for "start conversation" which will post a private mail
Profile posts are meant to be like a social media page, where you can post things to your personal profile that people can see publicly. I need to see if I can just turn it off, I've seen confusion around it a few times now.
