Hi William Matson ,

Sorry for late reply to this,

Unfortunately that was not possible at this point of time for select specify username to view.

Now only available the current privacy setting `Everyone, Registered user, and My friends` for "Who can view my followers list".

Hello Arlex --

OK. But I personally consider this a bug, a serious oversight and a breach of privacy. In my opinion, the default condition, if so determined by the website administrator, is to have all settings set to "Only Me" -- only the User can see these fields. The User would then have the ability to reset the viewing permissions. For example, "Who can view my friend list" includes the options of "Only Me" and "Friend of Friends Only". But these options do not appear on "Who can view my followers". The same situation with many of the fields that appear in the Privacy tab. Frankly, this does not make any sense. All fields should have the same selection of privacy options.

Unless there is some logic (that I personally can not see) for offering different privacy selection options for different fields, I strongly recommend that you fix this in a future release of EasySocial.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hi William,

I am sorry for the confusion.

When you login to your EasySocial frontend under Privacy settings page, you can actually configure who can view your followers. Please see attached image.

You can use 'custom' to set which of your friends can view your followers.

Hope this help and have a nice day!

Hello Sam --

I am aware of that method. However, this does not solve the "bug" that I discuss above. Selecting "custom" requires every user to go to through the trouble of making the selection, finding usernames and manually inputting those usernames. I assume that the user can include only his username to limit the view only to himself. This is a very "user unfriendly" process.

As I discussed above, there should be a means in the Administrator to select default Privacy to "Only Me" for all of the fields that appear under the Privacy tab. The user would then have the option to change the privacy setting to open it up to more public views. Some of the fields have the "Only Me" option, and some do not. I am totally mystified why the entire selection of privacy options are not available for every field.

Hi William,

Thanks for your feedback on the Profile's privacy. To be frank with you, not all privacy rule require 'only me' option. Example, 'who can send friend request to me'. If this privacy gonna set to 'only me', then no one else can make friend with you, in a social networking site As for 'who can view my followers', i do agree 'only me' should be one of the option in this privacy rule.

We will revise again the privacy option for each rules and we will see what we can do about the privacy option. I will put this into EasySocial 1.4

Thanks again for your feedback and your suggestion.
Have a nice day and wish you a great weekend!

Hello Sam --

The advantage of "Only Me" for all options as the initial default condition is to allow users to activate these features if and when they wish to do so. If a site-wide reset by the Administrator, then it can be announced as a new feature on the site. I believe that this is no different than Facebook.

Is there a projected date for the release of ES 1.4?

Thanks for your excellent and prompt attention to issues such as this.

Thank you. I look forward to the release of ES 1.4.

Hello William.

You're welcome. Have a nice day
