I have a couple of sites that I have been using for a while and use in a professional context.

However, there are other community sites I would like to be more active on with asking for help from others - however with all stack exchange sites interlinked I'm reluctant to do so.

Is there anyway for handling this without having to create a second account and switching between them?

  • Yes you can set your display name separately for each site if that's what you wanted to know... but the accounts remain interlinked

Each site's account is separate in that you can have a different name, profile information etc. However, by default all your other accounts will appear in the "Accounts" section.

However, you can hide accounts. Select the "Edit Profile & Settings" tab, then the "Hide Communities" option:

Then on the list of sites click the "Hide" button:

This doesn't create two lists (e.g. "professional" and "hobby") but would hide the "non-professional" sites from your public profile. As the page says it doesn't stop people finding your accounts on these sites.

  • That's great thank you very much - one question by extension....of the public communities I can only see the first 12; anything beyond this I can't do 'next page' and have to start typing a substring of a particular community I'm looking to remove from my public profile. I would think it would make sense for members to be able to see their full list without guessing a e i o u
