Hi,a member on a board I am on has asked me how she can delete her profile and leave the board.
I cant find any way for her to do that.
Help please.

Re: Leaving Runboard.
The user cannot delete her profile. Runboard doesn't offer that option.
However if she really really really really wants to leave, she can just log out of her account, and never log back in.
In case she is tempted to log back in, as an extra measure, she can got to her control panel, and change her settings, with the password, just mash the keyboard indiscriminately so she has no idea what she has hit, change the email address to 1 that doesn't actually exist, then log out, and walk away.

Done for a reason. That way for example, if i left tomorrow and deleted my account.
Somebody could then register with the same name. Most people would assume that it was me, when clearly it isn't.

Re: Leaving Runboard.
The Admin of the board could also delete the person as a member of that board and if it is a membership application protected board, that person will not be able to get back in.

Re: Leaving Runboard.
But that's not leaving Runboard. That's leaving that particular board, and then what prevents the user sending in another application ?

Re: Leaving Runboard.
Well, the person did want to know how she could leave a particular board, Beavis, so deletion from any member lists it might have is actually a pretty good suggestion, imo.
I'm just sorry she feels the need to delete her account. Camm, does she realize that her Runboard account can be used to post at any board on our system, and not just the one she has been posting at? She could use Runsearch or browse The Runboard Directory to find other Runboard boards that might interest her.
