FabSwingers.com forum: Hot Photos vs Privacy

It may well have been covered here before but isn't it odd that images people place in a private gallery (coz they obviously want them to be seen by friends only) get a public outing when fabbed so often they make it on to the Hot Photo list to be viewed by everyone?

Just saying

The Hot Photos page only shows pubic photos so what you're saying ain't right

The only photos that show in the "Top Public Photos" page are public photos.

The only people who can Fab your friend only photos are friends.

If someone changes privacy from private to public (so it re-shows) or from public to friends-only or private it can take up to 5 minutes for the top photos page to update.

our private photos have been fabbed by people who are not friends - how did that happen? (luckily the pics aren't too different to our public ones)

This can happen if you have them set as public then set them to friends only.

I am almost certain we made them private immediately. Looking at the dates of the fabs, I am even more certain they were fabbed not immediately afterwards.

Is it not the case that they can be viewed using the pics button on top of page? So, whether they're private or not All pics, when first posted, are viewable for a short time.

If it is that should be adjusted as surely if you upload a face pic to your private gallery it shouldn't be viewable to anyone unless you attach it to mail x

This isn't correct. All photos are private on upload untill the user sets the privacy themselves.

If you hide your profile do you have to set all your pics to private or by hiding your profile are your pics automatically hidden as well ?

"If you hide your profile do you have to set all your pics to private or by hiding your profile are your pics automatically hidden as well ? "

They are not automatically hidden, it just stops your profile showing on searches + online now lists. Set the pics to private to hide them too

(We intend to change how it works to also hide photos)

This is not the same on the mobile version. I have just tried it. The default setting is public.

However, there is an option to change it.

The default option is public but until you choose that setting the photo is private.

It's good to know pics are not automatically public. I have a feeling in our case some of our private pics were seen, as a I can't see how else they were fabbed. But I assume, from what admin have said, that was a technical glitch and wouldn't generally happen.

the best way is to make your pics pvt and send them via message to people you are chatting with i have pics on my add that no one can see unless i attach them in a message. i posted pics for friends only once and they ended up on the new pic thread
