Private Profiles, How to and How to Commninicate with a Member Who is "Private"

this feature really irks me and i think it's unecessary for this kind of site.

how are you supposed to communicate and/or inform in private when the person puts his/her profile on private?! i didnt even know this was one of the options. i thought this site was 'safe' unlike myspace and the like where there are pedophiles lurking. isn't the setup 'private profile' only used for that?

i am rather surpised tfs would make it as an option when this place is "invite only".

people can still lurk even if they are not invited to join...
so private profiles are for our own privacy and protection...
it is a personal choice how much a person cares to share with the entire internet...

I don't see what the big deal is? You can still PM the person (just left-click the username in a post of theirs).

this is redundant.

simple: do not put it in the profile.


*i thought this is enforced

Left-click the username. You won't be able to leave a profile comment, but the PM function should still work.

that's nice, olga!.

about profiles being private.. mine isn't but I can understand why other people's is.. I know I've left my email address in friend's pages and everyone's real name is used on a regular basis.. same for other information such as address and location.. call it paranoia but with random people clicking on your profile (there are users who have over 2000 views), I think it's understandable if they feel more comfortable in a less public area. it's their own backyard afterall, it's not indispensable for this place as you can reach them elsewhere..

i still dont know what the big deal about privacy when this is a public forum with information being exchanged.

i dont know why members would make private info public when they can do it outside this forum. this isn't myspace and facebook thingy. it's actually making it more like these social networking if this feature is optional. IMO.

*i'm only addressing this because there could be info being mislead by certain person/s.

smartarse..
you have been here for this long and didn't know about PM's..???

...
sorry i would have explained that if i had thought you didn't know about it..
i really couldn't understand what the probelm was..
pm's are actually MUCH more private than profiles...

*edit- i think that the owner of tFS does think of this place as a social networking sort of thing actually...

trying not to sound stupid , which i am regardless, lol, i always click the name for pm [not that i pm alot] and it leads me to the darn profile where the options of send pm is listed.

yeah i know i'm a dunce when it comes to internet. i still don't know how to do imageshack and those things!

.... but if someone can make a thread of how to use imageshack and the like in step by step and in detail , i'd really appreciate it
