Logout means logout (and keeps intruders out)

Dear admins,

I have just discovered that my profile page and links on my profile page can be displayed in detail after logout.
This means that any person can type the link of my profile and see my info. I noticed that media are not displayed (because of my settings) but my story, my forum posts, my groups can be viewed by a random web surfer.

Please, let me know, if there is a way to change settings by myself. I want members to view my info, not everyone.

    Only way is to set your profile to (private) , but I don't see the point of having a private profile on a social website. If you're worried about people seeing your profile, maybe this is not the right site for you.

    Thanks for the reply. Private profiles are only visible by friends. (Is this correct?)
    In this way, no other member can see who I am and what brings me here.
    Yes, I am worried if my profile can be seen. (If I stay here for a long time, I possibly change my mind in the process) :)

But not many people want to make friends with someone who hides behind a private profile.

    [quote]But not many people want to make friends with someone who hides behind a private profile.[/quote] Me too. I may continue this topic under the "Newbie" category. My occupation prompts me to be precautious. I feel comfortable in a nudist environment (and a virtual nudist environment) but because of the site's privacy settings I do not want to share my choices with people who do not appreciate this type of activities.

    I found a different way to express the original observation to the admins.
    I applied to a private group. The moderator viewed my profile and blocked me, which I discovered as soon as I clicked on the moderator's profile, from members-who-viewed-my-profile list. As soon as I logged out and pressed the "back" button of my browser, the profile page appeared in full detail except from the possibility to view media and send messages.
    Blocking protects the blocker in his transparent house from any intrusion but info, story and friends are accessible. The question remains if the system was intented to work this way.

    Anyone who views this site has access to all open profiles. This is to increase the membership for those who are willing to pay for the privilege of accessing hundreds of thousands of pictures, (mostly not genuine nudists) . This is the main reason we don't have may genuine true nudists on here. It's a real shame, because Admin started the site with good intentions, but like so many people, found money to be more important, even if it has to come from over 90% of none nudist thrill seekers.[quote]I found a different way to express the original observation to the admins.

    Money is good! I wouldn't blame the admins for their choices. There must be a way to design a safer system and implement the design with low cost. Now that I opened a new thread facing a potential scammer (not sure 100% yet), I realize that an open system (sorry, a not adequately protected system) allows scammers to steal pictures.
