Hidden members and guests??

Just noticed at the bottom it says there's 2 hidden
Members and 9 guests,

Just wondering how much they can see when not a member? May just change my Avi pic haha only because I was considering sharing some pre op pics with lades similar to myself but as I can't pm yet I'd have to put my password in a thread.

Hope this makes sense,

I'm more than happy to share info etc this is the net after all but I also wanna make sure I'm only sharing personal things with ladies going through the same.

Hope that makes sense :) x

As this forum is on the internet anyone can gain access to it & the more general area's .
When sharing pics it is always better to password protect them, that way you can choose who you share them with.
Won't be that much longer before you become an active member on here by the number of posts you've been making, so maybe hold out until then & you'll be able to PM details.

Yeah that's what I'm gonna do, thanks Hun was just wondering what could be seen.  Sometimes when your speaking with people you forget who can see it without being members etc and these days you have to be careful :0/ I've not put password on anything etc yet just gonna wait until I'm allowed :) 

I've changed my pic :) more so it feels a bit more
Private if that makes sense :)

Thanks for replying xx

Makes absolute sense and this is why we have a 'Private Message' facility on the forum along with a 'Picture status' feature. 

It's really not adviseable to disclose any personal information on any public forum Laura and please be aware that we (Breast Buddies) cannot vouch for every single member here. We sometimes catch the odd male disguising themselves as a female here but there's some very clever and devious people out there in the world and the fact that pictures of naked breasts are shared between women on this forum would be a bit of lure for those types of creeps. And as I said Laura, unless you actually KNOW the person you're passing your pictures to on a personal level, or have taken time to get to know the person personally ie: maybe checked out their FB, you will never quite know if they're 100% genuine  

We do place great emphasis upon the saftey of each and every one of you ladies here, not only having a visual prescience of Admin and moderators watching over the forum, but we also have a 'picture status' status facility here. This is an additional measure put in place for your saftey and as they're YOUR pictures, YOU get to share them with whomever YOU choose to. If that's with anyone, your picture status which is stated under your avatar and can be changed via your profile at the top of the forum will reflect YOUR choice and anyone thats a member here will know they can ask to see your pictures. 

Those that are a little more wary of the net and the possibilities of handing your pictures over to anyone knowing there's a possibility that person may not be who they seem, may choose to state they will only wish share with those on the forum theyve been given some time to get to know, like yourself Laura and as you've clearly stated in your picture status would only like to be contacted by active/addict/elite members and only those members

And then there's those that would rather be completely safe from the possibilities out there and they do not wish to be contacted by anyone on the forum to see their pictures. NO-ONE can ask these members to see their pics. 

It's there for members choice and to hopefully help those like yourself Laura who are Internet savvy and would rather do what you could to hopefully avoid those creeps that crawl in EVERY forum EVERYWHERE. 

So, the PM facility helps those that do wish to share have that additional saftey measure again, to pass on your details to only those you choose to. 

This is a 'public forum' and as such 'Non-members' can read the forum and we do encourage members not to write anything on the forum you wouldn't want shared with undesirables.

Using the picture status Facilty and the PM feature WILL help those who want to share have some security if this is what they choose.  

We do catch many creeps before they've even had time to post on the forum, but we should all be aware, given the personal nature of our pictures, that as much as we do what we can to make the forum as safe as possible, there is always the possibility of one slipping through the net.

I hope that helps hun. Xx

Fab thanks for clearing that up for me cookie, I've changed my pic more for my own comfort but have no problems with anyone wanting to check who I am via my facebook haha, just like to be in control of who I speak to and who sees certain stuff etc :)

I can imagine the kind of people that can sneak into places like this and it's a bit weird but that's the Internet for you I suppose and happens everywhere.

Anyways like I said thanks for clearing that up for me :) xx

Not a problem sweetheart. It was a good question. 

Keep posting, allowing for us to get to know you and you to get to know us and you'll soon have access to all the forum (the PM Facilty) xx

Fab, can't wait.  Thank you :) xx

You should already have access to the PM Facilty Laura? 

Are you able to use it?

Yayyyyyy it says I'm now active :))) 

Small things at haha 

Xx

Just noticed cookie!! Will try it now :) thank you!

X

Haha. Your avatar actually confused me. I tend to recognise members from their Avi's and that totally threw me. 

Gotta get used to the 'new you' now 

Haha my latte with the heart! 
May change it back to my face ;) got a bit wary earlier but I don't care who knows I'm having surgery nowt to be ashamed of plus the only people who should really be here are people in the same boat :)

Xx

There we go back to a pic of my ugly mug ;) x

Beautiful!  Xx

I must b the biggest wierdo ever but I do not have FB account, well I had for a very short period of time and then disactivated it if that makes sense - I hope this is not gonna make people concerned or anything, anyways it's gonna b my 6th week post op next week and I am aiming to finally start my picturetrail! X

I only used FB as one example Camilla, so don't worry I'm sure if you take time to get to know people you want to share with and them you it won't be a problem at all 

I don't have Facebook either. 

Or me!! After 7 years of dealing with "she called me a horrible name on facebook, and i want her dealt with. And no, I won't just delete her as i want to know what shes saying about me, It's your job to sort this out" 

I hate it. With a passion. 

LOL, yes, there's a whole lot of that in FB isn't there, along with the status aimed at someone with 'clues' rather than just knocking on the bloody persons door and hashing it out with each other. 

I don't think I'll ever understand those wanting to air their dirty laundry with the world I really don't. 

I do have a FB account but I rarely use it to be honest. Xx
