Isn’t suggesting pictures you don’t have permission to view just a hair on the idiotic side of things?
Edit: actually, it’s downright asinine.
I have a camera video of it happening if that is required for validation of the happening.
Asinine is a good word. It’s been neglected for too long!
The default setting for the galleries is “Private” under who may view this gallery. I am sure it is just a case of members not scrolling down and taking the time to set it to “public” or “All Members”. You have to do this for your profile and for each new gallery you open.
Regardless of the setting it does not stop the forum program from pulling out random thumbnails for the home page.
Ask me how I know this? Because I once tried to pull a pic from one of my galleries without signing in. BD’s server was happy to give me the one finger salute for my efforts.
