Site Adjustments

[justCoz]

There are a few more color schemes to choose from in the bottom left box if anyone would like to try them out. We're still working on the white background, so bear with us.

Thank you! So happy to have Paradise Hotel as a choice again.

You may wish to check your profile preferences and privacy settings. After I noticed that my entire birthdate was out there for everyone to see on my public profile -- even after I had set my preferences for "only month and day" -- NOT the year -- to show. This is for security purposes, not age vanity. A lot can be done with a full birthdate by identity thieves. Apparently, after the so-called upgrade, the security/privacy settings reverted to a default of "let everyone see everything."

Today I did a check on my other privacy/security settings -- and those, too, had reverted to "let EVERYONE see EVERYTHING" -- including contact info, which I had previously set to "friends only," and other items which I had set to "registered site members only."

So I went back and reset everything. Again. I hope it sticks, as I don't want everyone who happens to stumble upon this site to have access to so much of my personal information. And I hope none of the wrong people saw it before I was able to change it again.

I can deal with the slowness. But I find the security/privacy breaches intolerable. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

Wait, wait, I think you are confusing a few things here.

The "Profile Privacy" screen is new to this upgrade. We didn't have it previously. In the past, if you entered your AIM screen name it appeared in your profile, which is viewable by everyone. You could set whether someone could email you, but whatever you entered in a field was displayed on your profile.

The birthdate did have a privacy pop-down menu starting from previous versions, and yes - that should not have changed between upgrades and apparently did. But the rest of it is brand new and the default was already set to everyone because there weren't other choices. You could choose whether certain things showed on your profile, such as gender, but you could not choose to disclose it only to friends or registered members. It was either on the profile or not.

I think the only exception that was blogs and photo albums. You might be remembering those settings, not your general profile settings. You could make blogs private to yourself, your friends or groups (which we don't use), or public to everyone.

I'm sure I am -- oy! -- and thank you so much for clarifying.

Arcade and Casino (now called "Gameroom") are both enabled now. I made some adjustments under the hood, please let me know if you're still seeing performance issues.

I just saw the Gameroom, and it includes a chat window too. Very cool, everyone should check it out!

Thanks, Sasha!
