IrmaJean Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 The community forum software was upgraded yesterday. Due to this, blogs that had no privacy restrictions on the previous forum software transferred as visible to everyone, including non members. We want the forum to be a safe and comfortable place for members to share and express feelings. We also want to do everything possible to respect members' privacy. I have made changes so the blogs which had no previous privacy setting are only accessible to the blog owner. This way members can come to the site and change the settings to their own level of comfort. If you saw the announcements yesterday I did not change your settings. Also, I have written a few members and informed them so they can change the settings if they wish to do so. I recommend all members with blogs check their privacy settings and adjust them to your level of comfort. To do this, go to your blog and click 'manage blog', then 'edit' and then you can choose to leave your blog readable to everyone or only the members you choose. I hope this information is not too confusing. Feel free to ask questions or for additional help. I apologize for the any inconvenience this has caused.

smallstar Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Don't apologize ij, you work hard to keep this place running, it's kind of you. I just don't know how I can feel certain that my blog is private. I post so much there that I really don't want it public. I post whatever I want and not anonymously.

Victimorthecrime Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 How is it not anonymous smallstar? Unless you use your real first and last name I don't see how anyone could know who you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallstar Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 With what I've written in there. I use my real name and my families and friends real names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I would go back and edit that if possible. I hope I don't sound like an idiot, i don't know much about the blogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallstar Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 No you're not an idiot but what you don't know is my blog goes back to around 2009 and most of my writing is done in the comments and there's thousands of comments.

IrmaJean Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I went in and checked your blog settings, star, and you have a list of members who can read. So your blog is only accessible to the members you have listed and it isn't accessible to non members. You can see this if you check the blog page when you are offline. Did you know you can add a photo to your blog cover page? I made mine cherry blossoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallstar Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Oh that is so dumb of me, I could have signed off and checked myself. Thank you for checking for me ij. I noticed that you could put a picture. I tried to put a picture of my nieces but it kept saying the picture was too big. I am not very good with things like that though.

IrmaJean Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 No, not dumb, Star. I'm glad I could help. I have a similar problem with uploading photos. You aren't alone. Usually I keep trying until I find one that works. :/ There is also a place for a photo on our profiles. That's actually where I used cherry blossoms. My blog page has columbine flowers. Lots of flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I added a pin to this thread as well as changing the title to hopefully get the attention of our members. If this is the first time you are visiting our site since the software upgrade, please check your blog settings and adjust them to your level of comfort. I changed the settings on many blogs to protect the privacy of members. Due to this, blogs will only be visible to the blog owner until the blog owner changes the settings. Go to your blog and click on 'manage blog' and then 'edit blog' and you will then be able to make changes. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them here or pm one of us.

Daveuk Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Where is it where you can do a blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 In the right upper corner, you can find a link (button) to your profile. There you should see, among other things, "Blog". (You can search for it there with the Ctrl+F (or Command + F) function.) Or, more easily, you can go here http://www.mentalsupportcommunity.net/blogs/ and then press "Add new entry". Hope it helps.
