If a member wants to leave how do they remove their account as there does not seem to be a way for them to do it from their own profile account.

Also when they do leave do all their posts etc go with them. The reason I ask this is because I set up a test user which had a forum in it. A few test post where added but when I removed that profile the posts still showed in the activity, so when these where clicked on it went to a page not found.

Right now they would need to contact a site admin to delete their profile - we haven't exposed a way for users to delete their profile on their own, but I can see how that is needed - we'll get that added in.

As for the timeline entries - if a profile is deleted, any activity entries that are not ON the profile being deleted will remain. For the most part Jamroom does not make any assumptions about what is "OK" to delete beyond what is actually being deleted.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Brian, I was just doing some testing from a members point of view ( which I do a lot off before getting into fully designing a site ) and was looking everywhere for a way to leave the site and thought I was missing something from somewhere so thanks for the info and looking to add that function in. :-)
