I just read a post in my asthma community, that if you google your profile name (ie: htag profile on dailystrength) your whole profile is open to the public! I just tried it because I couldn't believe it myself! SOOO, I just deleted a ton of my journal entries and pictures. I was angry that my life's pain could be an open book to others. Just letting you all know.

Yeah awhile back someone posted the same concern. We sent our concerns to Doug. You can make your journal "friends only" this way it is not open for the public. After pointing out the concern to Doug many members changed their screen names to things that were less identifiable. I guess there is very little that can be done---I mean this whole forum is open to everyone so I guess it is just one con to a great site.

how do you change your profile name without losing all of your friends on your list or starting over? I tried to figure it out and couldn't.

I am not sure but you can message Doug and ask him or maybe someone who did it will reply.

I cant believe that you can see that on the internet. That makes me pretty upset

This was brought up before and a lot of people did change their stuff. Unless you use your name as your screen name, the chances of it being an issue are slim. As kyspier said, this is a public forum so the info is open.

Wow this is crazy! What is the point of locking your account from people who aren't your friends. WOW...

By golly, you're right! I'm angry too! No journal entries in my profile but still lot of info. Thanks for this alert
deleted_user
Lock your journals and also don't use your real name. Doug can help you change your name. Pick the name you want and he will do it. I think he said this how they promote the site so. IDK good luck.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
