Do you allow guests to view your profile page?
 
I have mine restricted to registered members only. I don't want some guest to have access to all my profile page information.
 
Ive never thought to lock mine from guests.



Speaking of profiles, I just redesigned mine to have an 80's theme.

I have mine set to Registered members only, If they really want to see what's on my profile I'm sure they would register

Looks nice, I tried doing my own custom profile but I failed

I will try again later when I have more time.

I think I have it so everyone can see it.





You do and do you want it that way? I don't like the fact that guests can go onto a profile page when they are not members. They can see all of my about me information and view my photo album. This leaves me wide open for someone to take my information (including pictures) and post this on another forum pretending to be me. For some reading this you might think I'm paranoid but it has happened to me

True, but joining's free and simple; they wouldn't even have to post.
 
Then I could do a friends only restriction

Here's a stupid question; How do you determine which setting you hsave it on?



It's under profile privacy, I think. You have to set each block individually, but their only drop down menu's.

You are correct. Just go to User CP - profile privacy. Each section in there you have to set and there are choices from a drop down menu (see below):



If you would like to restrict the display of some of the blocks on your profile page, select a minimum relationship that other users must meet to see the blocks.



Note: Guests and users on your Ignore List will only be able to view the blocks on your page where you have selected 'Everyone'.

I let guests view profiles, I can see why some do not but I've never had a problem with it nor a member complain.
