- find a user with a hidden profile - go to /u/username - see “this users public profile is hidden” - find an “invite” tab there - clicking it will show that there are no invites (so it’s not exposing anything from the hidden profile 😅) - it will show a [create invite button](https://meta.discourse.org/t/weird-invite-button-behavior/401819) that doesn’t do what you’d expect ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/f/c/6fcdadb0dafd8d64777fcbbeb99f45fb01570fd6.png) Expected: a hidden profile won’t show an invite tab at all ---
