When I Google on my username, the first four pages of hits have nothing to do with me. The fifth page does have a link to my profile here:
FooZe - Forums at Psych Central
forums.psychcentral.com/member.php?u=75515
However, unless I'm logged in, when I click on the link all I get is the usual
Status Message
You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons...
Pretty much the same thing happens when I log out, then go to Forums at Psych Central as a guest. If I click on any username (someone in the Welcome to our newest members list, for instance), I get that same Status Message.

I'm not sure, but if you google your username sometimes the article or thread you post can be available. One time, I had my username as my email address and BOOM, everything showed up too, like you said. I became very nervous and scared and made up a username that has nothing to do with my personal email.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
