New Privacy Features Are Now Available!
Good News! This morning, we added a new profile privacy feature allowing you to better control who has access to your profile both on both DailyStrength and across the Internet. The privacy feature settings are located on the "My Account" page where you now will have the option to choose from three settings for your DS profile page: Everyone - Allow everyone to see my profile including non-DS members and search engine spiders such as Google and Yahoo.DS members - Only allow DS members to see my profile. This setting will also restrict search engine spiders from including your profile in their search results.Friends Only - Only allow my friends to see my profile. This setting will also restrict search engine spiders from including your profile in their search results. Three important things to note: 1) People who don't have access to your profile will be able to see your avatar and username. 2) Profile privacy may override any privacy settings you have selected for journal entries or photos - when there are conflicts, we're going to go with the more private option. Here are 2 examples: - If you have set your Profile to Friends Only but you have selected that a Journal Entry can be viewed by Everyone, it will still only be visible to Friends. - If you have set your profile to Everyone, but a Journal Entry to Friends Only, then your profile will be visible to everyone but the journal will be friends only. 3) When you select "DS Members" or "Friends Only", search engines (Google, Yahoo and Bing) will no longer be able to "see" content within your Profile (your journal entries, photos, and your hugbook). However, search engines may still display your username, your avatar and any content you've posted publicly (for example, discussion posts, group content, etc). We hope you enjoy the additional privacy options and we thank you for making DailyStrength a great place to be. Doug

Not a bad addition. I normally don\'t care much for privacy on here, but this isn\'t a bad idea. Thanks.
Thanks for hearing and responding!
Thanks! I would love to keep my profile private for only friends to see! Great idea!
Thanx Doug.
I don\'t know how or why they zero in on my acct.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this!
I think that\'s good - but, posts may need to be changed.... I would say that only people who are signed up can see the posts, and if they aren\'t signed up they can still see the doctors writing and updates and stuff and maybe the persons advatar as you said etc...... Good so far though.
Thank you, I have had trouble with non friends posting on my journal
Thank you, this is a lot better.
I\'m still waiting on the this specific member can\'t see you feature, have been since someone deeply unsafe to me joined this site but, this is a step in the right direction.
Excellent addition, i like it. Thank u.
