    FYI: through a simple google search of "sheerwhenwet.com pictures" I was able to access all the photo albums from this site with no login or membership. Is this something that is being currently being fixed? Not complaining, just don't want our pictures to be available to everybody and anybody.

    Tested this myself and it depends on settings 

    If your album is set to everyone then it will be able to be seen from even someone not a member through goggle -

    you can see this by logging out and going to: (http://www.sheerwhenwet.com/albums/browse-photo) or (http://www.sheerwhenwet.com/albums/browse) also groups if not set to private can be seen by just typing in the group address ie: http://sheerwhenwet.com/group/## (replacing the # with the group number)

    Setting them to friends only or one of the more private settings (same with groups)  will not allow them to find/see them - so check your settings accordingly

    Moderator...I understand that the site is new and you all are working very hard to work through the growing pains. Please know that I by no means am trying to stir the pot...just trying to help. Thank you Dylan for your valuable input!

    Hi Dylan/MJH, I'm a Shite disturber and damn proud of it.  Just kidding.  It seems the site admins/developers need to build in nannies to protect members from themselves.  Perhaps the easy fix is to make all albums/groups default to the strictest settings (aside from setting passwords) as most members are under the false impression that a members only site will keep non-members prying eyes off our albums and group content.  I would hate to see a mass exodus of contibuting members leave because they don't have confidence in the site to protect their content. 

    Because I know this is a new site built from the ground up I know there will be bugs/loopholes not plugged I had resisted in creating and adding more photos then what is in my profile now.  I too would have most likely fallen into the same trap as most and created a "public" facing album when I really wanted a private members only one.  It does seem odd that a members only (by invitation) site would even allow public facing material.

     

    Just my 5 cents (inflation or the Canada/US exchange, your pick)

    **Update** It seems PW protecting is not full proof either - i was able to see PW locked folder pictures by just clicking the "your photos" thumbnail from a friended acct but who did not have to enter the PW nor had they ever so that seems to be broken till the patch too!

    **Update** If you Favorite group photos (even in a private group) someone (even those not in group) can click on that pic on the persons wall and see the photo.

    Hello

    We are trying to upload a photo for the Wet T-shirt Contest, but the form to upload photo is not displaying properly. I am not able to page up and down on the page. I have tried multiple browsers on my Mac, but no luck.

    Any recommendations?
