What information is displayed on a Public Profile?
By default, a Public Profile displays a member s screen name and a generic image, or avatar. You choose your screen name to represent your identity on Boston.com. The avatar is a standard graphic given to all members by default; you can customize it. A Public Profile also displays all recent public activities for that member. For example, if you have recently commented on an article and started a discussion in the forums, both your article comment and discussion will appear on your Profile page. You can hide your content from public view using the Edit Profile screen on your Profile page.
