URGENT!!! Posts made to the new "other" site are VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC!!!!!

[Oak2004]

I just read something in the mail from the new site on my iPod (which I've never used to access the site), and absentmindedly clicked on the link. The entire bulletin board can be read without logging in -- only posting was prevented without a login. I confirmed this from another computer.

The site as configured is effectively PUBLIC. This either needs to be fixed, or people need to post only what they don't mind the whole world reading.

1. Often pages on private sites can be viewed if you know a phrase to google.

From the target page, that is.

Privacy...isn't. I post as though everyone I know and who knows of me, can read every word.

2. Please note: This site was originally set up as a Private Site, I just sent a reply to the admins

I had the choice of making it either public or private and once the decision was made it was made clear it was Private. It also was indicated that the settings couldn't be changed once the sign up was established. So, that is why I chose the private setting at the time of creating the site.

I'll let everyone know what the admins do about this. Sheesh, I hope I don't have to delete this site and start over.


Thanks for the heads up Oak :hug:

on our behalf in reference to setting up this new site.

5. And with weeks of work you've put in...

I hope this can be worked out.

4. AND I signed in with my real name because I didn't know

I didn't know it would be used as my screen name. Sometimes when you sign up it asks for your real name and then you also have your handle.

That won't work for me.

6. So did I--it seemed that was the only option. I haven't posted yet, though. nt
