Your profile is in two parts: your basic profile and your extended profile. Your basic profile contains your name, the five tags you chose to describe yourself, and your photo. Your extended profile contains your biography, location, gender, and birthday. All this information is optional – it’s up to you whether you provide it, and you can make this profile information as identifiable or anonymous as you like. Your extended profile is displayed in the left-hand column of your profile page, under your profile picture.

Who sees my profile?

Your basic profile (name, profile image and #tags) is public. Your extended profile is private by default, but you can make it all publicly accessible if you want. Only people you are sharing with (meaning, you have added them to one of your aspects) can see your extended profile if you keep it private. Other people will see only your public information. Any profile information you make public can be viewed by anyone using the web, and can be indexed by search engines

What do the tags in my basic profile do?

They help people get to know you. Your profile picture will also appear on the left-hand side of the stream pages of those tags, along with anyone else who has them in their basic profile.

How do I stop someone’s posts from appearing in my stream?

If you are currently sharing with that person, removing them from your aspects will stop many of their posts from appearing in your stream. A more complete method is to “ignore” that account. This will prevent any of their posts from appearing in your stream, and they will no longer be able to like or comment on your posts. They will, however, still be able to reshare your posts, comment on reshares of your posts, and their comments on posts by other people which appear in your stream will still be visible to you.

To ignore an account, click the “ignore” icon (a circle with a diagonal line through it) at the top right of one of their posts. Their posts will instantly disappear from your stream. Alternatively, go to their profile page and click the ignore icon there. You will still be able to see their posts on their profile page, or by using the single-post view.

A list of people you are ignoring can be found in your account settings under Privacy. To stop ignoring someone, remove them from the list on that page.
