logging on this evening i notice that the home page has changed ....it now shows the latest members online, complete with photo.
Meaning that internet users browsing the net can see members pics without even having to even join sh, two of the pics were of people i regularly chat too in the rooms & am pretty sure they would not like their pics to be so publicly displayed.
Is there a way to 'opt' out of this on out accounts.
I've just asked Admin to have a look at this.
:thumbup:
I work on the basis that if I put it on here it could feasibly be seen by anybody.
We have it on the aussie, had it that way for a long time. Its the main profile pic, on a persons, profile, if people, want to see the full pic/profile, they would have to join the site. To see them.
They would be all non adult pics they can see.. If there was an adult pic, being used, until they join, it would be blurred out. As well.
Hope that clears some of that up.
Before i logged in i could see adult pics ! Im glad i dont have any pics here anymore !
Sorry not impressed, we don't wish for any of our pics to be seen by non members. We definitely need an opt out tick box somewhere if this is gonna stay, till then all pics have gone private.

That's fine, but some people use face pics, with the belief that the only people that can see them are members, but if, as you say, you have this as a feature on the Aussie version of the site, then this is clearly a design feature, not a site fault.
And another justification for me not putting my face pic on my profile.
You can see the non adult gallery photos before you log in, this to me is just an extention of that.
Thought non-members had always been able to see public gallery pics, or some of them, without ever having to joint SH or log ion, hence why so many of the wiser people have 'hidden' identifiable pics of them selves in private gallary (s)

Same here....
But then on the other hand some will view the profile and think because there are no pics to see that I have something to hide....
Can't win either way....
Let's hope we get an opt out option soon....
I can understand why people are not happy about this.
Anyone can zoom into the front page and see reasonably good images. Enough to recognise someone you already know in many cases.
Along with some clever photo processing software it could be quite easy to build up a collection of photos.
And were they ever asked?
Slightly worrying for some.........

Im not sure i said anywhere, that you need to be impressed smile
Then doing that is your option, close enough to a nicked box.. and then you will nearly know who can see your pics. Great job, for thinking, NOW i am impressed. :)

Maybe it is, BUT then it comes down, to those that want to show and those that dont. IF you dont want your pic seen.. DONT place it on the net.. ITs honestly that simple. Admin have set the site up.. So that you can hide pics, away and only invite those you want them to see. Why not use what admin have given you, If you dont like well then... i believe the door is some where over thee >>>>> ... or was it there <<<<<< Either way it comes down to common sense..
