I have just come across something I have not seen before - putting in a cachers ID in the profile name box - to be met with a large yellow triangle with a big black exclamation mark and underneath This profile does not exist
I am aware that when cachers dont wish for their stats to be viewed they can select that option and the page comes up with the statement about opting out etc - but the above seems to suggest the cacher name is not recognised despite it being copied and pasted from the GC profile - is this a glitch or another option that cachers can select ?

This happens if the user has entirely opted-out of third-party data-sharing. To us, their "profile does not exist".

This error message will be improved in the next release of Profile stats.
