User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions

Using Jamroom

Unfortunately, I don't use Twitter, so I don't know how you follow someone there. But I have to think, you must be able to follow without the followee having to reset their privacy settings every time someone wants to follow them, and then reset back again.

I still think the descriptions on the privacy options are misleading. Shared is more private than private since they have to be members and followers to see the profile set to shared. And if set to shared, the only thing they can do is reset to Global to get followers, then reset back. That isn't how it works in Facebook. In Facebook, you can still see that they have a listing, you just can't see anything on it when it's private. Then you ask to be a friend, and if accepted, you can see everything. Sorry, but I think the "Follow" option being only in the profile is a problem.

Since I changed from Arvixe to Jamroom hosting, I don't believe I've seen a bottom line score under the 1200s, and I have the lowest performance subscription.

Okay, let's agree to disagree.

Okay, at least I understand what the problem is. Thanks for your help!

Hey Brian, I'm just not understanding why when I set Linne to Private, even the member profile Dave could not see her at all. I guess what I'm looking for is for Private and Shared profiles to show up as having a profile that you can click on the follow button for, even though you can't actually view the profile until you are approved as a follower. I just want people to be able to search and see, Linne has a profile, and then click on a follow button. Maybe I'm being a bit redundant in what I'm saying, but I hope you get the jest of it. And my thinking too is, if they have to set to Global for a short period to allow someone to follow them, then they are being forced to give up the privacy they wanted in the first place, because there is not other option.

Okay, so my question then is "How do they invite and approve followers" other than setting to Global?

No, I don't have any non-Comcast address to use. Just out of curiosity, does the Talldude Networks use a different emailing system since that does work?

Brian, I set the profile to Global, then I could find her and follow her, which I did from Dave. After doing that, then I set her back to shared, and now Dave can see her at that setting. Before changing her to Global, I couldn't see her at all whether she was set to Private or to Shared. How can a Shared profile get any followers, if the profile can only be seen by people who are already followers? Seems to me that they have to set to Global to get any followers in the first place. I guess that's what you are saying is right.
