My forum profile does not display my ID as clickable

[Morten Ross]

Hi,

Why doesn’t the URL I have in my prfile show up in public profile or as a clickable userID besides the gravatar?

Er… ignore what I said if you saw it. Which profile link? I see yours and your site URL.

[Morten Ross]

So you can click “Morten”?

Logged in or out, I can only see “Morten” in bold – not clickable.

“Morten” is definitely a blue link for me too.

In Opera 11.10, Firefox 5.0, Chrome 12.0.742.100 & IE 9.0 My ID (Morten) is allways not clickable.

When I log in it is still not clickable.

This is what I see

This is my setup

Try flushing your browser cache and clearing your cookies.

Problem is identical on any computer I use – I have tested 5 different so far, all with IE, Opera, Firefox and Chrome.

[esmi]

Weird! I can’t understand why it’s only your name/link that is being affected.

[Morten Ross]

I also notice that the public profile is empty

[esmi]

Um – are you logged in when viewing these links and your profile? Because the only way I can replicate what you’ve described is by viewing this page (or your profile) in another browser where I’m not logged in.

[Morten Ross]

If I was logged in, my profile would display my blog URI (but still no homepage), so the last image is from a public profile/me not being logged on.

When I’m not logged in I can see your ID as clickable and, as well as IPstenu. The same I do when logged on. This is not the case with my ID.

If you can see my homepage URI logged in and out when viewing this thread, as well as when viewing my profile, then there must be something about Locale/region that is beyond my control – I’m in Norway.

Looking through some threads I find that it’s only the minority of “mature” members with clickable IDs. This can of course be by choice, and I cannot check this, but I would think that most would like to market their presence and have their ID clickable to the destination of their choice.

Some examples:

Did you JUST add your domain in recently or has it always been there?

[Morten Ross]

I added my website to the profile a couple of days ago. I changed my Id display name earlier today from rosmo01, and that was updated shortly after I changed it.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Hmm. I wonder if the newness of the URL is what’s triggering it.

Esmi and I can see it, but we’re admins and can see everything. (I have x-ray spex!)

[Morten Ross]

Then I should also see the URL when I view the profile as logged in – I don’t.

When I view my profile as logged in I only see the blog URI – not the web page:

Rosmo01
Member Since May 28, 2009 (2 years)
# of WordPress Sites I Run 1
Blog 1 Address https://www.ross.no/communicate

I entered the blog info yesterday, and can see it when logged in – so why not also the web page?

When I’m not logged in, my profile only displays my Gravatar – nothing else!
