Privacy Settings Help





How do I control who can see/comment on my pictures and blog entries?

Log into the site and from any page click on "My Settings" in the top right hand box with the green header.


E-mail notification

Click "Privacy" from the list on the left hand side. You can now check or uncheck the boxes according to what you want to keep private or visible just to your friends.

You can overide these default settings for individual pictures - so for example, if you set all pictures to by visible to "anyone" you can set an individual picture (by clicking on it in "My Photos") to be visible only to you or your friends.

PLEASE NOTE: If you set a pciture(s) to be private (i.e. so only you can view them), they will still show up in the "pictures galley" but only for you. In otherwords, although you can see them in the main picture gallery other members cannot.

Can I check and vet comments before they appear next to my pictures and blog entires?

Yes... you can choose to review comments first. This is done from the "Privacy" link under "My Settings" - see the question above for details.

Can I block other members from sending me messages?

You can block private messages from friends with the click of a button. However, if you have reason to block their messages it may be worth simply removing them as a friend!.

To block messages, click on the friends icon in the very top left hand corner of any page.


Send e-mail

Click on the member that you want to block and click "Block messages from this user" underneath their profile picture. You can also remove them as a friend from here too.
