AI Thread Summary
Email addresses on profile pages were recently made public due to a system update, prompting users to seek ways to hide them. Users can adjust their privacy settings by navigating to the "Privacy" option in the top-bar menu under "USER." However, some users reported issues with the settings not functioning as intended. The issue has been acknowledged, and a fix has been implemented to restore privacy for email addresses. The situation has been resolved, ensuring that email addresses are no longer publicly visible.

Just realized our email addresses are public on our PF profiles. Is there not a way to hide it?

I think this is a new behaviour, perhaps as a result of a recent update.

@Greg Bernhardt?

In the top-bar menu, click USER. Then in the pop-down menu, click "Privacy". Then select the appropriate option next to "Allow users to: View your details on your profile page:"

I can't see your profile page, so I'd say it's worked.
 
Working on this immediately. Apologies, after the update, I forgot to remove it!
 
This has been fixed
