I should have posted this here to begin with but posted in Q&A. I'll go back there and delete my post.
Until I saw this post yesterday, I never knew that even if I had a password protected gallery that an image could still show up on random for the world to see. I always thought I saw "MY" random images but until I checked using IE where I wasn't logged in I never knew that the images I thought were protected really were not. I have a ton of little kids in my galleries that are playing sports and some family stuff and I thought they were safe. Well I guess I didn't read the fine print. Now nobody can see my sports images after I made them non public unless I send each and everyone of them the separate gallery links and I don't have all of their email address.
I do have to say that Brian responded to my question about this yesterday pretty darn quick but unless I can make my galleries public but password protected where nobody but those that I give the password to can see the images then I'm going to have to find another hosting service. I really like Pbase and would like to continue to support Pbase but I cannot if my images are not safe from certain people. These parents trusted me to put their kids pics up here after I told them they would be password protected but they weren't.
I vote for getting rid of the random images completely and I wonder how many other subscribers didn't understand this.
