    Private Journal Entries

    For those of you who journal/blog.... if you do a "Private" entry everyone can see it... real private eh? So essentially this feature (at this point) is useless.

    If your whole journal is "Private" then only the people on your buddy list and the mods can read it.

    Craig, can you please let us know when this is fixed???

    In the meantime, the rest of you might want to resist writing your private thoughts to the world.

    I ran into this as well. I alerted Craig, but have not heard from him yet.

    This is troublesome. Information that is marked to be private should not be visible to the general public. There is no telling what ramifications could occur when private information is made available outside its intended circle on the internet.

    Internet privacy issues are serious stuff.

    Not cool at all. As parrythis said internet privacy is a very serious issue and can cause serious problems. Craig please fix this as soon as possible.

    There's no such thing as privatcy in internet. You are better off if you write in lined notebooks and hide them under the mattress.

    I'm looking into the issue, but the only user that you told me saw it is a mod and was admin of a section. I'm setting up some dummy user accounts to test but it will take a little time since I'm not able to duplicate it easily.

    Yay! Now with a private entry, is it only visible to the author, or a select predetermined few?

    It depends what you choose. You could make it private and only visable to yourself, or create a list of "buddies" you would like to share the entry with.

    If you expect blogs/journals that are posted on the internet to be private, you're in for a surprise.

    True... most of us know that there's lots of people who can hack into just about anything... We are simply asking for the features within f-net to work as they should.

    This has been fixed. So EVERYBODY doesn't have easy access into journals that people set as private.
