Profiles now visible to non logged in users.

Profiles are now visible to guests who come to the site. This way, if you have to show a friend who isn't a member of our site your profile, you can simply give them the link and they'll be able to see it.

If you'd rather people not be able to view your profile without logging in, go to Profile > Edit Profile > Privacy or click here and set your Profile Privacy to "Site Members." Only registered users of this site will then be able to see it.

Nick,

Are you able to make profiles visible to members only by default? I think for privacy reasons you should always opt-in to this kind of thing rather than opting out. I believe this is even more important with the type of fleet we are.

Also, when I changed mine I didn't get any sort of confirmation it had been done. The page just kind of refreshed. Small thing but thought I'd mention it :)

I can set the default to Site Members, but it'll only affect new account creations. It won't retroactively affect everyone's account.

Before, we had a component that allowed you to create a short url to give out. This is currently broken since the upgrade. I'll up date it ASAP and then return the profiles to as they were before. Unless popular demand wants me to return it as it was.

There should've been an alert near the top that said "Privacy setting saved" It's oddly placed above the Network menu.

I've returned the profiles back to their previous settings. They're no longer visible for those not log in.

If you'd like a URL to give out, you can create one by clicking here. Anyone who sees the URL will be able to see your profile. You could consider using this link in your STO Forum signature.
