Why must you be logged in to view thread pics but not journals?

[Lo Budget]

You can pretty much wade through journals w/o being logged in. Pics, friends, posts, etc. Everything but post, basically. Is it supposed to be like this?

Its so the NSA can track you properly of course lol

 

[Lo Budget]

I'm not worried about the NSA* as much as google and other web crawlers. I think it's reasonable that the forum text be available to them but I don't like them storing all the journal details, etc. But that's my unsolicited opinion.

*They're standing right behind me, aren't they?

  the answer would be because people have it set to public even guests. and not site private only

 

[Lo Budget]

Yes, that makes sense, although for security reasons I would think a better option would be to have it set private by default and let the user open it up. Thanks sunni!
