Well that was tiresome

It took me a long time to work out how to log into this new forum. My old Adoption Link (Linkmaker) account had control of my email address so I had to remember those login details before I could use them to register for this forum.....again. I hope we don’t loose too many in the change especially if it is not so straightforward as you would like.

I wonder if the moderators would be able to tell me if our email addresses will be revealed to Linkmaker Members if they view our profile, mine has my name in it? It seems the Linkmaker profile is visible to all other members. It is now linked to our AUK forum usernames and to all our archived posts.

Hi Ford Prefect,

Some following information on privacy on the forum:

• Your login username for the Link Maker / Adoption UK community is never shown to other users.

• Family-finding on Link Maker is separate to any community features, and only your real name is used with social workers for the purpose of matching.

• Your community name (your forum username) is shown, and this can be the same or similar to your past forum username depending on whether you want to be recognised from your past posts.

• Social workers cannot see your community profile.

• Please choose a username that doesn’t identify you personally, or from activity on other websites that you would not want to be recognised from.

• You can change your username by clicking on the Adoption UK community tab at the top of the page and choosing the my profile section from the drop down menu. Then click the edit button on the following page, change your name in the Community name field and then click submit at the bottom of the page.

Hope that helps
