Hi,

i was not very happy to find my "member info" from vBulletinTemplates listed in Google; please find screenshot below.

Beyond that I would suggest to deny permisson to the member infos for "unregistered/not logged in" guests.

Best Regards
Manuela

I suggest you do not list information in your profile that you do not wish to be public.

When you input infomation into a public profile, you will have little to no control over it. Simple as that.

i think the fact this it's a public profile really works against all logic

I basically think it is a bad idea to have google spider the profiles of members. There are some very malicious people out there that could turn even an innocent piece of information about you, against you.

Spiders should just be limited to posting information from threads.

Yes, the info is too public, I agree.

As stated before those are PUBLIC profiles so if you don't want the information to be all over the internet don't put it in your profile.

If you were to look at the referrals made by search engines, it would far out-number direct hits.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
