Site Security Settings

[nomorejellybelly 77]

I don't know what made me think to try it, but it must have been because I don't like the changes to this website. I signed off the site earlier and then as a guest, I clicked on at least one user profile. ....and lo' and behold, if someone is viewing the site as a guest (not registered on the site), they can see your profile information. I had pictures on here before, but haven't been able to find them since the change to the site. It was easier before the changes and when I tried to view my gallery as a guest, I couldn't see anything there either. But, I don't want anyone that might be "sneaky" to be able to find my b-day information and/or my location. I've changed my gender and b-day so they're not showing. I didn't remember having to put my city and state before, but when I tried to save the other changes, the site required me to put city, state and zip. What the?????? In this day and age, I do not feel safe having that info out there, so since it had to have something, I gave invalid info.

So, I was curious to know what everyone else thinks.

I haven't searched that far yet, but i can tell you since they changed the site, my original log in name & profile is unaccessible. I tried the password recovery, emailing the link provided, nothing works. Had to create a new one. I did notice to save some things though i needed my state & zip code. I'm new to the form so it's not a big deal being i didn't have many posts to begin with but what a pain in the butt.
