disabling "public" in privacy settings

makes all the profiles unaccessable to members and admin. Is there a way around this?

Well, let's think about this:

Public:  Doesn't that mean open to all.  I mean, if we have a public parking lot then anyone can park in it, right?  Correct me if I'm wrong, so wouldn't this mean that anyone could view a public profile.

Private:  Something that is NOT public.  My underwear color is private, only needs to be known by me and my lady, the rest don't get to see them.  However my shirt color is not private (it's a grey turtleneck at the moment).

So, if you remove the public option then that makes the profiles just like my underwear, not available to the public. 

How would you like it to work? 

I mean, we'll be happy to contact Webster's Dictionary and have them change the meaning so it means whatever you say here. 

Sorry but I just can't resist on this one.

I realized that on the profiles themselves there is a privacy option as well, meaning people who have shared their profile with "Public" are not viewable to anyone if the public option is now disabled. I realize now this ins't a bug just my confussion that there was a privacy setting on the profile pages themselves and of course members don't automatically have priviledgeds, like something that a network administrator would setup in an ACL, sort of a heiriarchy.

If you disable the public option in the privacy settings then when people upload vids or pics or create albums they can only share it with "Members" "Friends" and the other enabled options.

I'll use phpAdmin to change the number to the one that corresponds to members.

mydatery: there isn’t a private option so not sure what you are going on about... but it sounds like you had fun! ;) Wait there is a “Me Only” maybe that is where you can put the color of your undies!

I'm only leaving this up so if someone else has the same issue they will know that preesisting members, albums will have to have their settings changed before hand or through the database admin screen.

Trying to understand this thread reminded me of how much time I spent trying to understand this picture.  There are certain things I am just not intellectually capable of!

What's so hard to understand about the picture?

Where are the clouds?

What clouds?
