Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about a couple of possible dangers with the new system.

Thank you Kim for this incredibly important information! I read the whole thread you posted, and I can't believe how unsafe this community now is for many of our members. The lack of privacy will certainly have me thinking twice about where I post. I also don't understand why our statistics include our IP address and browser information.

Shaking my head in disbelief.

TU.

Hi TU -

The IP address and browser info is only for you to see - people have been testing that out with each other's profiles - and that info is NOT viewable by others.

The "public view" shows up to the "statistics" portion

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the techno update. If we all chime in with info. on the new features we test out, we should have this all down in no time.

HA! So they give features to a board where most Enders are struggling with obsession who are struggling with obsession issues at the time of ending an A the ability to stalk. Genius! That should take stalking to defcon 3.

Oh and you are my cyber friend whether you want to be or not! Adding a whole bunch of peps to my besties list! IV said I could…naner…naner…naner!

Hopefully they will add some features so both will have to agree to be cyber friends.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

E1,

You know I'm honored to be your friend. :)

Oh, and btw? I can see you're online. Ha! How you like me now?!

(Sorry for the outburst.)

There are a LOT of changes - and there is so much information to take in, but hopefully things will smooth out quickly.

Kim
