Added the ability to make your profile page private.

How does one do that?

[Qapla]

Not sure just when the change was made - but, in relation to the Clubs

 

You can now also change a Club Type in the management - like from Private to Open

 

This was not the case when they were first offered as a trial feature.

I just want to say that I had a lot of chocolate before I saw the change.  Thank God I wasn't chocolate high when I first saw this change. A matter of fact I kinda wish I was chocolate high. Oh well!, maybe next time.

Now.... for the 2019 bonus....

Oh darn! Now just anybody can see my profile, even non-members. Do you plan on reintegrating that feature with a different plug-in?

Not currently. Another 3rd party developer offered to custom make me a plug-in for $95, but I don't see it as worth it. Profile "privacy" is a facade anyway. But that's a discussion for another topic.

 

In reality, we've always had excellent privacy features here at JWTalk since the beginning. We purchased and installed the plug-in back on April 9, so it's only been running here for a few months - long enough to learn that it's causing problems, and the developer doesn't seem interested in working with us to fix it.

That was probably related to the cookie issue.

No software upgrades, but some Administrator changes that we deliberated on together...

• Removed ChatBox+ a little while ago and ended the proposed live chat experiment
• Removed advertising that use to display to unregistered guests
• Removed the Blog link in the masthead for lack of use
• Redacted the previous "Spiritual Musings" forum and renamed "Deep Bible Research & In-depth Personal Study" to "Bible Research, Personal Study, & Scriptural Discussion" as we decided there wasn't a need to have separate sections for deeper topics vs. lighter meanderings.
