I want my Yahoo! Profile to simply be my name “Johanna Andris.” Most other members in my Yahoo Group list their names this way. When I try to change my profile, it will not allow me to use spaces nor capital letters. I wonder how others are able to do this? Please instruct me on how to change my profile/membership, such that my full name can be listed on all of my postings. Thank you! Johanna

How do I turn all of this off. I don’t want to share anything. I don’t want any profile that anyone can read. I don’t want messenger.

This is the worst…. ONce you click on something you are not sure of you find that personal information about is being shared and I have not found how to remove the feature.

@Bev,
First off, I’m sorry this happened! Secondly, be sure to check your settings– for groups, they default to “off.” We never have, and will not default them to “on” in order to protect our user’s privacy as we know there are sensitive topics covered in many groups. Again, my apologies.

If you haven’t already done so, you can log into your profile at http://profiles.yahoo.com to delete that one update from your profile. (Just click the grey “x” next to the update).

-Melissa

My status updates was also default set to share updates with everyone, revealing to every single friend on my list the rather sensitive marital issue group I had posted to, I feel totally humiliated

Gordon why can’t you folks allow “US” to make up our own mind as to whether or not “WE” want that Yahoo Updates Column on our My Groups Page? We for the most part are old enough to know if we want that column or not. I for one do not want to share my information with any one out there unless I know that person and then I can send them what ever I want using my E-mail. Why can’t you let us remove that column if we don’t want it. It is just messing up my page format and I want to remove it from there please.

Thanks, Yahoo gang, for helping me learn how to set things up so I didn’t keep getting the pop-up asking me if I wanted to share. I passed on the information to members of all my groups.

Excuse me, I meant to say that mixed case “email addresses” and “subject lines” remain intact when sent from AOL to Y!G and individual (private) email addresses ..and that’s the client I’m using to moderate these groups.
