For example, if I were to post an actual photo as my profile pic, can I set it so that only friends can see it? Or can any member at all view it? I'm wanting to put a real photo there, but still have a little concern about just anyone being able to join EC and see it. Or does someone have to have been a member for a while before being able to view someone's profile pic? thanks
You have to have an account to look at someone's profile. You can also set a photo album to be only visible to your contacts, if you want the images extra private.
Hi there! In your control panel, under the 'Profile Privacy' option you can choose who can see what on your profile, including your profile picture. If on the other hand you would like to be able for every member to see your full profile, you can upload a picture of yourself in your album and you can set it to 'private,' or that only members on your contact list can see it.
