> [@Stefan\_Fairphone](#): > > What’s the character limit that ensures the _about me_ to be displayed on the usercard? Can Discourse simply truncate the _about me_ instead of completely removing it from the usercard? I’d like to know this, too. Actually, I’d like to know what impact the trust levels have on the user card or public profile fields display – combined with or independent of the field level configuration at [https://mydiscoursesite.com/admin/customize/user\_fields](https://mydiscoursesite.com/admin/customize/user_fields) @codinghorror or @HAWK – I’d also like to know if something changed between Discourse 1.9 to 2.0 that caused the usercard to ignore the “Show on user card?” check box on the About Me field. Here’s what I’m experiencing on Discourse v2.1.0.beta1 +280. ![Image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/a/4a4245779fd9edab0909d70e7f485650c390ef8b.png) Text in the About Me field on [https://mydiscoursesite.com/u/myusername/preferences/profile:](https://mydiscoursesite.com/u/myusername/preferences/profile:) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/a/fa836cf5ffffc55bb1f44d01d1009ce1226ebb2d.png) Admin and Trust Level of user: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/1/31ea330b50219de8c33bba203d6362d539b9c5fd.png) User card display: ![Image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/e/3ee3d1cb394e15e66bfa71a9d7ec05f43865930a.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/missing-about-me-in-profile/78917)._
