I've noticed that if you are a guest you can't view members profile is this done to protect members or is this a glitch

It's probably done to protect members.

It's intentional. You'll also notice that guests only have access to X number of pages in the individual folders as well. This is to help keep the servers from getting overloaded to the point of crashing, which was happing with great consistency a while back and prompted Greg to shut off guest access entirely a couple of times while the problem(s) were sorted out.

Guests can't see attachments, either. ...Although I don't know if that's new or if it was always like that.
