Okay, so it can say both either go back or go back to 1.0, but I have done this like 20 times, and it says it's changed, but it's not! I want to make my profile private, but I can't with 2.0, and it won't change. What do I do? Argh! And when you try to make it private, it gives you instructions on how to change it back, and those are even wrong. It says click on the pencil; there is no damn pencil. I'm getting really frustrated; someone please help.
