Hi,

Want to get back into the SETI game, by lending my computer resources for processing the projects' data. Tried to update my profile, but my old one keeps showing up when I try to update. I deleted the profile, and then decided to upload new info and again the old profile shows up! Something I'm missing? It's frustrating to see an old profile u don't want to show up first on Google results! I've cleared cache and all that. Something else I'm missing? Thanks.

Saf

When I click on your profile icon to the left (near your name), is that the correct profile, or is that your old one?

Are you simply concerned by the Google search ranking?

Hi,

Thanks for quickly coming to my aid.
The text about my 'personal background' and 'thoughts of SETI' have now changed to 'No, next question!', so that's new. However the picture still remains the same. I guess you could say that you saw my new text profile with the old picture. But I still like to get the picture deleted or changed. No, it's not about the google ranking, I really do want to change the picture and the profile...I just don't want the old pic to show up on images.google.com any more...I want a new pic that does. Perhaps I should go through google on this? Thanks.

Edit: Let me also detail another thing. When I choose to remove the old pic, it's gone from my profile. However, when I want to replace it or put in a new pic after deleting the old pic...the old pic always shows! Even after checking the box for asking it to be removed from the profile. Thanks

It seems to have changed now. There is no pic, and both questions are responded with "No, next question!". Is this correct?
