i had my profile public until i noticed the hide option which i didnt know existed until about some months ago, i choose to keep my public profile hidden so that every crazy post ive made in the past cant be all viewed and stuff also dont want people who may not even be apart of the forum to find me and go through all my posts etc.
Yeah I’m the same way I’ve made my fair share of crazy posts in the past I’d rather they not be linked all together.
I don’t find hide option, where is it?
This is a recovery orientated website and for me it therefore feels best to be as anonymous as possible. Hiding my posts is great in case someone finds out who I am 
Yea I didnt find the hide option either where is it.
I found it. Done.
Where did you find it at
Search for “interface”
Is mine on private aswell?
Yes. My account is now hidden right?
Thank you!!!
I just hid my public profile as well. It may be too late for me, but, oh well.
They should have a button that says show public profile so u can see wat it looks like as on fb they do that. I hope mine is hidden?
The problem with private profile, is that you cannot PM anyone 
It’s hidden, yup
Oh, is that so? Thanks for the information.
They can’t pm you but you can pm them with private profile
PM? What PM means?
Private message !!!
Strange I’ve been able to pm and received pm too
