An option for journal to be open only to RYL members?
 

Recently I've had to set my journal to private
Just because I'm quite paranoid, a lot of people I know (family/cpn/therapist) know that I'm on RYL and they know my username

So for my privacy I had to set my journal to private
The thing is I really actually quite like other members being able to read my journal, think I just like having other people be able to comment on whats going on or something

Anyway, I know that you can set your journal so that buddies can read it but I know personally that I read a lot of other peoples journals who I don't really talk to on here and if they set there journal to private I would be too shy to ask if I could be a buddy.

So wondering if there should be an option so that you can set your journal so that only RYL members can read it

I realise that somebody I know could just make an account
but tbh really can't see them going to that effort
Or perhaps it could be set so that only RYL memebers who have been on here for a certain amount of time can read it
or something, just putting ideas out there

I just know that I've noticed lately that a lot of members on here seem to be quite concerned about privacy, so don't think it's just me

I've just tried it out for you and as far as I'm aware there isn't an option to do that. It would be very handy, I must say. But for now, I think just setting it as 'private' and adding lots of your friends to your buddy list is the closest you can get.

I hope that helped. :)

They already are member only :)

If you log out, and try and access a journal you are prompted to log ing.

Oh really?

Problem solved.

lol yeah :P

Yeah I got paranoid about this before so I logged out to see what would happen. I was relieved!

Oh really?

yay! yes problem solved :-D

sorry that this was a pointless thread!

It's never pointless to ask questions.

The only stupid question is the question you don't ask *nods*
