Comments.Text: +1 for the checksum extension, very helpful for this sort of thing. Also, I'd check permissions in your Joomla setup. I'm not familiar with Joomla, but in Drupal, you need to give public (anonymous) access to profile pages, otherwise the system thinks they're accessing a page they're not allowed.

Comments.Text: Thanks so much @artfulrobot you sent me in the right direction. This is how I fixed the issue: 
  
  1. Joomla > System > Global Configuration > CIVICRM
  
  2. Click "public" to manage the permissions
  
  3. Change profile edit to Allowed

Comments.Text: @maxrebo797 great, glad it helped :-) - if you post that as an answer, you can accept it (in a few days). The benefit of this is that someone else looking can then see that there is a good answer, so it helps the usefulness of this site.
