[goshalim]

Accidently today i discovered that any of my users can see an read comments and conversation from ohter users in their profile !!!!!

This is very bad, because conversion are private.

Please can someone help me to chenge this.

The funny think if you put in the google the username of one of my members its shows all of the conversations.

Please urgently i need help to change this

You are talking about Visitor Messages? Those are meant to be public, although if you have profile privacty turned on then the user can make it so only his friends/contacts may see the Visitor Messages. If users want to correspond in private, they should use the Private Messaging system.

Hoi Lynne

Yes i Know its for puplic but, can any member of the forum can watch all the consverastion between other members things which they wrote and written

Also as i said , if i put in the google the name of one of the users , it will show me the whole conversation whicj that member made.

although if you have profile privacty turned on then the user can make it so only his friends/contacts may see the Visitor Messages

How can i do that please , can you explain me .

[Lynne]

If members don't want them in google, tell them to use the profile privacy and make them not viewable by unregistered users. Or, you, as the admin, can make the whole profile page not viewable to google.

Other members can only watch the whole conversation if the profile privacy for visitor messages is set to allow all users to view them. The user can set it so only friends can see them. However, they cannot set it so only the user writing the message can see the conversation - as I said above, if the user wants that then they should use PMs.

User CP -> Profile Privacy
(Self-explanatory really...)

[goshalim]

ok, its clear , how me as admin can make it not to be b=vieable in google

[James Birkett]

By making it unviewable to guests you're making it unviewable to Google.

[goshalim]

yes but my question si Where do ia find this option excactly , to do it.

This is my question .

[Lynne]

If you want to make the entire profile page not viewable to guests, and therefore not viewable to google any longer (it will take a while to get it off of google though), go to Usergroup Manager > Unregistered / Not Logged In Users > Edit > Can View Member Info > No

Hi Lynne

i was working all night on that but aim still havining some seriues questions.

1) I do realise the the profile is for puplic and members can see what is written there , thats clear for me and also The user can set it so only friends can see them.
this is clear.

But , the main issue of the problem is , google, if i make the entire profile page not viewable to guests, and therefore not viewable to google any longer then tha profile page is not working in other words its not available to the user(s)

No , is there is something which iam doing wrong ?

Is it possible that the profile is viewable for the puplic but not in google.

Thank you again.
