Privacy, keeping your details safe

[Gemini]

A few tips on keeping your profile more private

If you go to click on your profile picture, a drop down list will appear.
Click on User Settings.
Click on Privacy.

Leave Auto accept subscriber request blank, (otherwise anyone whether you know them or not could be on your subscribers list)
You will see Profile and a list with tick boxes next to each item.
The choices for these items, on the drop down list are Everyone, Members and Subscribers.
By setting everything to Members, casual passers through will be unable to see the details. By setting them to Subscribers, only those on your Subscribers (friends) list will be able to see them.
I have everything set to members, except photos, which I have set to Subscribers.
Once you are happy with your settings, click on Save Changes. Of course you can go back any time and change things again if you want to.
If you want to see what non members can see, look at your profile without logging in.

I hope this makes sense!

Finally! I sat down to get my head round this site today. Thanks for this post Gemini. I still can't put my birthday details in tho'. I've made my friends' requests at last. Sorry if I've mixed some up. Could you tell me the difference between Subscriptions & Subscribers please? If I've rejected any Follow Requests, I'm sorry. I didn't realise until earlier that they were friend requests. It's getting used to / finding out what all these new terms mean. I'm on my iPad now, but earlier I tried logging in on two different laptops & it wouldn't let me do it. Puzzled over that one. Thanks for your help.

Nana I replied to your birthday problem on another thread, if you tell me the date I will put it in for you.
Subscribers are people who sent you requests, Subscribed means those you have sent requests to

Durrrrr, thanks. How simple is that. I hope you three aren't too exhausted with all this 👍
