No, I can not reproduce the error. sorry, I Uninstalled the program and reinstalled it this morning and so far it appears to be working. 

Although the 'Ban Individuals' option had disappeared. ?  I'm happy though, Thanks.

Glad to hear that you got it working. It is strange though that that option, (individual users ban), is not appearing there. I just re-tested it on the latest version, 4.3.4, and the individual users ban options is displayed fine.

It was there on the first install.  I grabbed a photo cause I was explaining how to use it. I like it fine how it is. I don't wanna mess with it. (Big grin)

The problem is most users that are not currently following will not understand 

furthermore most users who set this privacy level will not understand what they are doing. They likely assume people will be able to follow 

it mostly looks like an error or poorly thought out oversite on my community. Many complaints are coming in. Like LOTS!!

instead assuming everyone is going to “bother to read”  can we solve for this and make it user friendly?

I see this still hasn't been dealt with. I am going to have to remove this mod from my site. It just makes no sense whatever to have a ridiculous option that nobody understands.

While well intended:

• the users don't know what they are doing
• the folks trying to follow think it's a fat bug.

It just plain doesn't make any sense.

Would you like to remove that option from the plugin? If so, let me know and I will make the changes and send you the modified file.

I would LOVE that! Can we also include some SQL to undo it in the database and reset all the folks already using that option?

Yes, we can. To what new option would you like for those users using the followers option to have? 

[SJ77]

Registered members only.

What would be AMAZING, is if the option for "members who are following me only" provided a button on the hidden profile for members to still be able to follow. Allowing folks to use profile visibility as bait for more followers.  Which is how everyone thinks this works (and how it should work in my opinion)

 However, as mentioned above, if that is off the table I will take "registered members only"

I have pm'ed you a new plugin file and the sql query that will take care of both things that you requested.

Any plans to update and release this product for IPS 4.4x?

Hi,

There is a major flaw with this plug in.

It blocks this page

https://invisioncommunity.com/profile/571929-faqole/

but does not block this page https://invisioncommunity.com/profile/571929-faqole/content/

This has my users highly upset.

Please help ASAP

Ok,

Also just found out if you go to a profile and add &do=profileprivacy at the end of the url you can edit that users privacy.

That's right, anybody can edit anyone else's privacy settings.

This is a big flaw!

Also this mod uses the members table and adds a default value of 'everyone' to every single member record.  Slows down your entire member table.

I guess FYI to anyone looking at this or who is already using this.

This dev isn’t around anymore. It isn’t purchasable anymore. Your best bet is to stop using it.

Or just start using my mod:

Profile privacy options:

• profile is open for all
• profile is open for registered users only
• profile is open for (approved) followers only
• profile closed for all (except admins)

 

I won't leave you. Im in this world over 12 years now
