"No, I was relying on the text "Search engines: You can choose not to have your profile listed on search engines like google. If you opt out, your profile may take a couple of weeks to disappear from search: We have no control over this." - I should be opted out but it still appears" Ive never been opted in and my details are showing. Theres a problem Fabguys! As you say, no photos are showing thank god but the latest status message in all its glory is visible. | |||

"It shouldn't show on google if you use that setting. However if you search for your profile name when logged out you will see the text on it unless you block that to unregistered users. They are two different things "Obviously if someone doesn't know your username they wouldn't be searching for it | |||

"Mine used to show up on google search, I checked and I hadnt ticked the no show option, I did so, but it took a few days for it not to show again, I just checked again and couldnt find myself." You're right you don't show but I have always been checked and I'm still showing! Though b don't know if it's significant but the list says 300 members on my area yet I didn't specify an area. | |||

You aroused my interest and I searched for your profile: "_otchercock Ivor (63) Man from Telford, West Midlands, UK" is the only info that shows in results, but clicking on the link then takes me (obviously, a REGISTERED user) to your profile, amongst the other +300 who've also not opted out. I then searched for my own and "We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us." is what shows up (I opted out of both). | |||

They've never been anything other than all switched off since the account was created ages ago. | |||

"I have the search engine and unregistered user options unchecked in my privacy settings and if I search for my user name nothing comes up... I'm either not understanding the issue or it is working as expected." Hmm! I just checked, same settings as yourself. I googled "username fabguys" which yesterday bought up a list of 300 members with statuses and now - it doesn't! Just takes you to a search results which is a link to the login page. So either something has fixed itself - or has been fixed.... | |||

"Nothing has changed since yesterday. If people use the privacy settings provided they should work how they are meant to" Well I'm only saying what happened, I certainly had both privacy options in place but I saw what I saw. Today though it seems to be correct. Well I'll put it in the "fancy that!" Category for now and try it from time to time. If it does happen again I will report it but hopefully it won't. | |||
