Public Profile Removal Part 2

Part 2 of the original:


https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/public-profile-removal-steps


I'm trying the work-around Sahil gave yesterday about changing your public profile name from your first and last name to Private Private. However, it will not let me change the picture. Obviously I do not want my real information or picture to be used, but I don't see an option to change it.


Click on your real picture next to your commish count on the upper right hand side (web version), click on "My Portfolio" then click the pencil to see the "About You" section. No option to edit the picture. How do we fix this while we wait to have the entire thing removed?

Update: I was able to edit the picture via the mobile web version.

Hope this helps ๐ŸฆŠ

I don't have the app so I can't speak to that process.

@TennisandSales: You should be able to do it both through the destop version, the mobile website as well as the mobile app.

I guess the only other option is to close your eyes when you look at it. By logic, you shouldn't be able to see it then.lmao

That's lame
Moreover I can't delete the company associated with my public profile since it was created by LinkedIn.

@CuriousFox: Even in the desktop version, the edit button is present and functionable.

Step 1: Click on top right icon of your profile
Step 2: Click on My Portfolio
Step 3: The profile picture you see here, would have a small pencil at the bottom right which is clickable and allows you to update a new picture.

Thanks Gasty! The pencil was not on my picture via the desktop version earlier. I wouldn't have made this post if it was ๐Ÿ˜Š

Itโ€™s a very faint pencil tbh. Bound to be missed. Good to know though youโ€™ve sorted it through the mobile app !

Found it on the mobile but not desktop.
Looks like bravado is now hiding that it is still connected to my LinkedIn though. That button on settings has disappeared.
This shit is not ok.

@LordOfWar:You should be able to do it via desktop version or mobile website or mobile app. In case you're not able to, I can get a quick troubleshooting done for you. Won't need more than 5 mins over a zoom call I guess.

I found the icon, ya'll need to make it a bit more contrast but it looks like its there.

Looking forward to completely disconnecting our LinkedIn account. Please let us know when that is available.

Sahil's AMA said its still needed for login, but I login with google now so.....

Same. I don't like the public profile showing first when I comment every single time. Anxiety city even with me changing the same to private.

It works! Pencil was hard to see because of the whitespace in my profile pic where the discreet pencil logo is, but it's there.

This definitely worried me - I logged on and couldnโ€™t figure out why it was now showing my public profile avatar in the threads. Luckily it fixed itself.

It's not fixed. Be careful before you post or comment.

Very late to the party as I took some time off the WR, and saw a ton of changes I'm not too ecstatic about.

THANK YOU Foxy for the guidance - much appreciated. Hated seeing my pic at the top right and was nervous every time I hit 'post'.

Always. But I now feel *slightly* more confident at the very least. These sausage fingers may still be my downfall

Commenting for visibility. Not seeing an option to change the picture either.

I have to say that to me this is absolutely bad and I am very disappointed. Privacy is such an important thing and this platform has beeen great but without ensured Privacy Iโ€™d rather delete my profile. @sahil if you may share how you are protecting from future and current data slippage and my selfies shared to others via email or other methods please. <br><br>I want to ensure I am comfortable while expressing here.

The private photo, but public LinkedIn profile. Should you do this if you're hot as a nice surprise once connected? Or if you're ugly to remove bias?
