I think OP probably already stumbled upon being able to click "Profile", but I may be mistaken. It would seem more likely that they are either trying to apply for a campaign, or show their profile to someone else that is interested. If they just click Profile on the tabs above, it simply brings you to : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile , which doesn't do you any good for sharing your profile. I've always wondered why it doesn't add the UID into that link, when it would be more universally helpful if that were the case (probably less secure, though)
Whenever I want to see my profile the way others would see it, I go to my most recent post and click on my name beside that post. This brings you to your public profile, as opposed to your personal link.
Pro-Tip : Once your question has been answered satisfactorily you may lock the thread, so you do not get unnecessary replies repeating the same information. This link looks weird to me, and when I delete the end of it, it brings me to an entirely new thread...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2845012.0;prev_next=next
Hopefully that directs you to the thread about locking, once you have your answer.
thanks man, that's very helpful
