get a notification that. I've a new follower, when clicked on his profile showed "0" Posts

and "0" Reputation points. Anyway decided to Test how the "Private profile works" after

switched to private mode. My username in public changed to aReply4u0084-7714

But when I Sig in and click my profile, shows.. aReply4u0084 - as shows here

Tip : I do know that my URL - on the 'Net is : https://learn.micrsoft.com ... .. ends on .. 7714/

There's a setting to change the username, but it doesn't show how,.? Also, there's a warning that

would break links to receive notifications, reputations points,. Etc. So, wonder. if somebody

could fix this or tell me. How to do it myself. Thanks in advance for any assistance

    Hi,

    Just my guess that it might be related to

    you changing your Profile to Private.

    Unprivate your Profile and see if it fixes it.

    Also, I have no issue with who follows me.
