| How to make your profile viewable by other MyChurch users (and the public) |
|
| |
Last evening the switch was thrown, and the default setting for all personal profiles on MyChurch.org was changed to make profiles viewable ONLY by friends and church members, and NOT the general public. This should still allow other friends on MyChurch to view your profile and post personal comments and messages.
Nevertheless, if you want to make your profile viewable by everyone on MyChurch and the public too, here's how. Simply click "Settings" in the upper right corner, and under Privacy (second link from top), uncheck the box circled below. It's easy! (Don't forget to click the "Save" button after you've unchecked the box!)

| Hope this helps! Can you see my profile now? |
|
|

|
|
| Could someone please try to post a comment to my profile? (I'm still unable to post comments elsewhere...) Thanks! |

| Hi Mike, I just tried, It's private. :o) |
|
|

|
|
| Thank you Cece. Could you (or anyone) please try once more? I think I forgot to click the "Save" button the first time. |
|
|

|
| I tried--thanks for all your help keeping us on track |

I can't, Your profile came up, but it has
Add to freinds,
Send message.
I clicked add to friends and it says, You are already my freind!?1
I'll try again. |
|
|
| September 08, 2009 |
|
|
|
Nope only your friends can leave you a comment. I clicked the icon to view your comments, I'm not your friend!
Praying, May you give us all strength Lord and the fruit of the Spirit be our guide today, in Jesus' name. |

Yes, for some reason I too see "Add to friends" on your profile Cece, even though I just verified that we are indeed friends. I hope MC sorts this out quickly. Thanks again for your help, sister. :-) |

Thank you!!! Your the one who brought it out!! OK, your welcome! |

| I've unticked the box now Mike. We are to reach those outside the boundaries of 'our church' our 'our friends' list, not just each other in the happy-clappy club (unless people decide otherwise of course...) As for the rest? Still deciding (but my blog page has lost a bit of weight these past few days) hint hint, wink wink, say no more. |

|
|
P.S. I've just checked. There's some people on my friends list, but I'm not on their's (maybe or apparently). It says 'private. for friends and church members only'. So if I AM indeed on their friends list, why don't it show up? |
|
|

It reminds me of a Queen song: Another one bites the dust. Just tried to wish someone a Happy Birthday - and it won't accept. "you must be on their so-and-so's friend's list". Thing is, they're on mine. |

I fixed it Mike but Sis CeCe just told me she still can't get to my page. OK this calls for a Town Meeting :)
MEMO.....I HAVE NOT DELETED ANYONE FROM MY PAGE......SO LETS BE PATIENT UNTIL THEY FIX IT. I LOVE YOU

| As my ex office supervisor used to say to me, "are you asking one of your stupid questions again?" and I have it in writing when she sent me a "thank you" for all your work since being here, and thanks for all the stupid questions" and she also gave me a box of chocolates as a thank you present. So can I ask one of my stupid questions Mike? Why wasn't all this thought about before they switched over? I could ask another stupid question, but I won't. But I will if you ask, :-] |

This is hilarious, Thank God..............For all things.
For this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! |

|
| lol, Stevie. I would guess all changes are tested in advance, on a test server of some sort, using test accounts. Not being that technical though, I wonder if it's possible that there could be unforeseen factors in the real MC that couldn't be duplicated in a test environment? ...I dunno |
|
|
| September 08, 2009 |
|
|
|
| Ohhhh! You never asked me to ask it. It was a good one, honest! And it wasn't deleteable either. And as for the "simulator cockpit" test experience before it hit the airwaves. Not quite sure its happened in real life, has it? *smile Mike* you know you luv me, LOL!!! |

Thanks Mike! I switched mine. |
|
|
| September 08, 2009 |
|
|
|
| So I can't see most of my friends profiles. Did they change the connections that we created when we became friends. Do I need to re-friend everyone? Anyway hopefully this will get sorted out quickly. |

I believe that you can see mine without much trouble, but I will double check. You beat me on posting this one. |

|
| I can see your profile, but I can't comment on it. Is Mychurch trying to get rid of there users forever? |
|
|
| September 08, 2009 |
|
|
|
Megan, I can see yours too! But I likewise can't comment on it. Apparently something unforeseen happened when the latest change was implemented. I was told they are working hard to fix it. |
|
|
| September 08, 2009 |
|
|
|
| So I can't ask my other stupid question then about the conference meeting being set up that would address all this (and others too)? OK then, I'll ask it. With what is happening NOW, what is the point of this conference meeting - only to tell people what is already happening and what's about to happen? You know the rest of the story after that Mike - and I'm sticking to it. |

Mike, I sent you a message, but on your profile I can't leave a comment. It only says Add to Friends or Leave Message.
JESUS IS LORD!!! |

Yeah I can't post comments to your page either. That stinks. :( |

I'm so thankful I "stumbled" on this blog as it gave me much needed insight. I just got back from camping and went to leave a friend a "comment" and could no longer leave one---on any of my friend's profile for that matter. Thanks for keeping us informed. |
|
|
| September 08, 2009 |

|
| Tomorrow, I may post a blog on changing your profile name back to what it was before MyChurch changed it to your real name! |

| Dear fiends at MC, Can you NOW see that we are not briefed before any changes are made. We are just pawns in a game of "Pretence" it hurts me so much that MOST of us on this site are really IN LOVE WITH JESUS! yet we are just numbers....I have said enough. My email address was posted for anyone wishing to FELLOWSHIP in truth. Love X |

forgot to add a star, this surely deserved a dozen. I added #6501...giving Glory to God because you have touched us with what He lays on your heart and that is a lot of stars. When you cast your crown at His feet in heaven, brother, it will be glowing with heavenly stars, no doubt. love you |

Dear X. Pity you didn't see the comment that was made early hours yesterday morning their time as regards to paying members and bending over backwards for them. One person responded to it (not me may I add) and both comment and response to it were deleted. So when people got up yesterday, a thought may have dropped into their head, what you talking about? I knew EXACTLY what they were talking about - because I saw both comment and response. And why did I see both? Because there's a time difference between over there and over here. Therefore by deleting both comment and response before anybody got up over there, rumour had it - nobody would see what was said after it was posted. Well sorry, I did. Why? Because of the time difference. And I repeat, I never said a word. I just sat back and watched for a reaction for which that other person got.
So whether it be pawns or numbers that make up MC, although wanting people to stay, they're not bothered if they go either. Implication being, unless you pay financially towards it. With that said, it could be a different chess game. Sorry Mike, but it takes paying as well as non-paying members to make something work. Without BOTH - it just becomes a website with nobody contributing to it or than financailly. Its just than non-payers contribute towards it in a different way. So to be trampled on from a great height goes down like a lead balloon. So putting aside finanical contributions which does make this site tick, they are contributing in the only way they know how to - as unto the Lord first. Anybody got a problem with that?
Some people (myself included) foresaw all this before it ever took place. Why didn't didn't the person concerned listen? Because it was viewed as a complaint, therefore was deleted. By the way. I will give respect where respect is due. But the way that person handled it was something to be desired. And as an end note. I respect you Mike with everything you're doing and trying to do (trying to keep the pieces glued together) get my drift? To that end - people are unreservedly grateful (myself included). But what do I know about anything? I'm just a grumpy old fart that don't know what he's taking about. |

Stevie, I love you, you grumpy old fart! lol I'm still sorry for the way things have gone for you. Somehow or other we'll be in touch. And yes...it does take more than just paying members to make this site, and this community, what it is. Besides, I don't think the Holy Spirit is a paying member, and to my knowledge he hasn't quit the site yet! Juanita, if I didn't have wife and kids always demanding my attention, and work, and friends, and others God lays on my heart and mind to interact with, I'd be calling you on the phone daily for more of that sweet encouragement you're so good at giving. =) And the prettier my crown when I reach Glory, the more satisfying it will be to throw it down at my dear Savior's feet!! |

| X, I love ya bro, but it's actually only a small # of ppl leaving the site. Dear ones, all, they (you) will be missed. Please be careful not to disparage work the Holy Spirit is continuing to do here. Your experience does not invalidate what God has done, and continues to do, through imperfect servants. Blessings always! |

| You can't view your friend's profiles either unless they reset that. They say they aren't your friends, but when you request them, they say you're already friends, but you still can't view their profile. |

I deleted my facebook account as it had many distractions and stuff written that was vulgar from unsaved family members and coworkers where it is normal. I lost my password eons ago to Myspace and didn't miss it enough to retrieve it. I don't think I ever got off ground with Twitter. This site, however, is home to me. Maybe not perfect, but I (as in myself) am a bit off center at times too. I see the value of this site above all those others. When Pastor told us about this, he said we could do some things free, but upgrades were another price, I believe it was 120 dollars to do upgrades. Mom and me paid it together for my home church because she supported what was important to me and I was bedazzled by it. I am still. I don't know if it is time to pay it again but I intend to ask my pastor and if it is then I will roust up the funds. Is roust a word? lol
My point being that while I feel that some are upset, it is a blessing to me and I have decided to stay. When I left facebook, and dropped off the other places, never told them why. Just did. Maybe I am not making a difference by voicing concerns there, but I just don't feel led to do more than come on and learn and grow with the folks that run this site.
I am thankful for mychurch. Please don't let anything I just said hurt your hearts if you disagree and don't want to be on here.

| Juanita I didnt know you left facebook! I have been posting you comments there. You asked me in a private email why I hide in a mask so I will openly and publicly reply! I am X because thats the way the site has made me feel. I love everyone here but Higher forces have made it harder and harder to keep in contact with precious friends. I decided to X myself and take a back seat ie not blogging or writing poetry (most of you will already know who I am by now),ok Minister Of Poetry. I thought that doing the will of God was all about encouraging others which I have tried to do in my blogs and poems. A year or so ago the blogs etc were easily accessed, now you need to root them out..WHY? I have had sleepless nights and tears of sadness from how these changes have affected all of us. Believe me when I say that my heart is broken!!! I have always posted poems in a trusting manner (I hold copyrights to most of them) but believed that God gave me a talent to SHARE. I only wish that things were still as loving as when I first joined MC perhaps three years ago. As for me..I LONG to do the will of my Father and feel that there is a "Blocking" effect taking place. Well I have said how I feel and I hope that everyone understands not only why I am X but how I got to the conclusion. Love X aka MOP aka Stu. |

I am glad you are saying who you are Stu. I feel better about that. Facebook is ok if you have a lot of time I guess but I want to limit myself to here and my plant swap group. I have few hours online anymore. We will see what God has planned for us all as we journey and ask Him. Mom always said "Never say Never" which made so much sense and made me laugh at the same time.
You can always reach me via email or here. Love to you all! juanita |
