From my understanding is having access to stuff you put into your account details.

So who can view your date of birth, location, website and stuff.

Don't think so cuz those things have their own checkboxes/settings etc.

Not "those things", the setting you show only regard your birth date.
There's no checkbox for the location, web site, social networks, and all. And like meaning less, I assume it's covered by the hidden identities setting.

I know and I doubt it, location and website have fields that can be left empty if you don't want to share.

But what if you want to share those things like birthdate only with people that follow you, or that are at least registered members? That's the purpose of this feature.

 

[Meaning Less]

True. But it doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. Even setting it to Nobody you can still see them.

You can always see everything on your own profile... But other people can't, right now that's all we see when opening your profile.

I tried it with a separate alt account.

Unless they changed the default XenForo behavior here on f95 then? Because it should be working like that from my understanding.

This is what I found on the XenForo forums. But I can't see the "contact details" section in my settings or maybe I'm blind.
I think it might have to do with the thing where devs have their patreon/subscribestar stuff appear under their profile picture (you can also see it in their About tab under "Contact"). Maybe that option is only available to developer accounts.

EDIT: Yup, its to do with the "Contact" section under the About tab. But I can't really seem to edit it.

The section in account details where you enter your patreon, subscribestar and buymeacoffe is literally called "Identities". So it makes sense that letting users view your identities means letting them see what you've entered in that section.

I have no such section in my Account details

You would have seen it if you included in your screenshot the menu on the left.

The guy said in "Account details" that's why I looked there.

And in "Connected accounts" their is no mention of "Identities" anywhere. Just an option to connect your patreon and nothing else, and even then when you click on it you get this beautiful message:

They were talking generally - going to the account details page shows the menu item on the left, which fits the advice. That's not unlike just about every other social media system on the internet since 2000. Come on.

It appears no one here has the answer you want to here ... so perhaps you should enter a support ticket and report back what you find.

Probably requires a dev badge, then. But then "view your identities" could be moved to that section for clarity of what it is.
