User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130329030856

Steps to reproduce:

1.Create a new account using signup.
2.Don't choose any of the functional areas from the list provided under "Skills and Groups" when prompted to complete registartion.
3.Click on 'create Profile' and comeback to Home page.
4.The 'Member of' field would automatically display all those functional areas which were not chosen during registartion.


Actual results:

'Member of' field would display all the the Groups which are available under 'Skills & Groups' as functional areas during registration, irrespective of what Groups user has/hasn't chosen.


Expected results:

Only those groups which you have selected should appear on the Home page.
If you have not chosen any of the Groups while creating a profile, then nothing should be displayed.

When your profile is viewed by other mozillians, it would give an impression that you are a member of a group which infact, is not chosen by you. If a mozillian tries to share/discuss things related to the 'group' which you are a member of (displayed on homepage), you would be confused. There is no option to edit/remove this field.

This was fixed in another bug so tagging this one WFM. Thanks for reporting annashree.l! 

If error persists feel free to re-open :)

Bumping to verified invalid -- the new user creation workflow has changed. Unvouched users are no longer able to add themselves to groups during the account creation process
