Paul McKnight Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I was always under the impression that TNG withheld information of living people. That appears not to be the case. Yesterday I was showing a Genealogy Society TNG 13.0.4. The question was "do you withhold information on living people?" Yes was my response and went to my profile, I was not logged in, and much to my amazement there was information there that I expected not to see. There was no profile picture or birth dates as I expected. Further down in Photos was a group picture of all 7 living direct family cousins. I clicked on the picture and the tag names showed for all. I then clicked on each tag. Out of the seven, two showed the profile picture, the rest did not. All withheld birth information. What's up with that? I was expecting not even to see the picture of all 7 of as we are all living. I checked to make sure living was checked for each person and it is.

Rob Severijns Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Paul, Have you checked these settings in the user profile, And did you check the privacy settings Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhemph Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Also check the media to see if the "Always viewable" checkbox is checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKnight Posted July 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Thanks for your input but none of the 2 individuals are "users" . I have checked and rechecked settings. They are both unselected in "open in new window" . What am I missing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Severijns Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Paul, Could it be that when you switched as a non-user your browser cache or browser history made you show the pages? Does your website require a login? Providing the URL to your website might give us a clue. You can do this in a PM if you don't want to expose any more data before the problem is solved.

Paul McKnight Posted July 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Thanks everyone. I found it. If the individual is living, the media attached to this person "always viewable" must be unchecked. Looks like I have a bit of cleanup to do. Thanks for your quick responses. Cheers from steamy Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Roy Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Paul, The same would apply to pictures linked to Private inidivuals, so it might be best to leave that box unchecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
