AFG SecretariatHow to Make your Profile 'Public' but remain 'anonymous'
Updated: Feb 8
In order to access AFG Resources
Access to the RESOURCES area of the site is contingent on 'making profile public'. This is due to the architecture at the back end of the site.
We have devised a work around for those of you who would like to remain 'private' and want full access to AFG Resources.
Here's how to do it.
Make sure you are logged in: Select 'Log In'.
Click on your name. A small dropdown menu appears select 'Profile'.
To edit your name in the blue banner, navigate to the 3 vertical dots on the right of the blue banner. Click on these to reveal 'Edit Profile' and change your name to: 'Private Member' as you see fit.
Next you will assign the profile picture we have created for this circumstance (below).
Please download the 'Private Member' image here. Or 'right click' on the image to the left and download it to your computer. Save it.
Back in your Profile click on the circle beside your name, you will be asked to select an image. Browse and choose the saved image. Upload the saved image as your Profile Picture.
Finally delete any text from your 'About' section as this will be visible to other members and the general public.
You are now ready to 'Make Profile Public' but remain anonymous in so doing. Once your profile is public you can freely access the Resources. Select 'Make Profile Public'. This dialog window will appear:
Select Confirm and you're done.
Please note: you are free to make your profile 'private' again at any time.. To do so click on the 3 dots to the right of your name. Select Make Profile Private. Click Confirm.
NOTE: Once you have entered text or image content, and any time you make adjustments or edit you much complete the process by clicking 'Publish'. If you do not do this you will lose your work.
