Can non-members view member pages?

[kjohnson]

Is there a way that people can view member pages without themselves being a member and logged in? The reason for my question is I wanted to make a link to my page that non-members could view as kind of a pseudo portfolio. That way I can direct people from other pages (i.e. linkedin) to my pf page and they can view the types of problems I have helped people with etc..

If this is not a feature (which I don't think it is) would there be any potential of this in the future?

Hi kjohnson! :smile:

This is not possible, sorry. You might make a blog and post on it, that is visible to non-members...

Maybe Greg is willing to change it, I don't know.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was pretty sure this was not a current feature. I am open to making a blog, but I figured I already had some work on PF so it seemed an easy alternative. I guess we will see if Greg reads this and what he thinks...

If profiles are visible to non members, they are also visible to search engines, when they are visible to search engines, they attract link spammers, as adding web site as your home page gets you a link. That's one of the reasons to not show profiles to those not logged.
