Profile photo showing on google search...

Hi everyone, When I search for my full name on google, my profile photo with a link to my travel blog shows up on google images. I have set everything in my profile to private and the only place my full name is mentioned that I can see is my email address. Anyone know how to stop this from happening? Thanks

Hi Sarah,

Even after making the changes on TB they may still show in Google search results until they refresh their cache. Usually this happens within a couple of weeks, but is something TB has no control over sorry. Reply to this

Hi Jo, I made all these changes to my settings months ago so I don't think its anything to do with google being refreshed.

In the meantime, I am trying to change my photo but can't seem to be able to do this either. The only option I can find is the 'Upload portrait' button on my profile but clicking on this just links me back to my profile page! Any help appreciated Reply to this
