Friends And Contacts list in usercp

[jagtpf]

I'm not too sure I asked for that little rant. I, also, don't wish to become a test court case in any future dispute with a member citing an uncertain interpretation of GDPR.

But thank you...

[jagtpf]

I accept that premise. Unfortunately the nature of posts on a forum that, for instance, provides a sounding board for photographs, stories, poems etc could be traced back to an individual - perhaps if...

[jagtpf]

Technically that would work, but they could argue their posts are still on the Forum - and accessible to anyone who knew what a thread title was - plus you would at the same
time as changing their...

[jagtpf]

Does this remove posts from the database?...

[jagtpf]

I've had this problem too - even if you delete according to the manual, it retains the username but redefines them as 'guest'.

The only way I've been able to 'satisfy" GDPR is to use...

Hi Trevor, as screenshot.......

[jagtpf]

It seems, after further investigation that we all have the same problem....

Access to Friends & Contacts, certainly from User, has two pathways.

....../member.php?xxxx-username#friends-content...

[jagtpf]

At least two members have commented they can only view page 1 of their respective Friends & Contacts List - one of these is my fellow Admin and he says he had the same problem in vB3! For myself,...

After fielding a largish number of erroneous new member registrations, a common entry in the profile field for age is to insert a rubbish entry. I note there's a PCRE "trap?" in the regular...

[jagtpf]

I don't get an option to hide - only to set as private (checked as No).
Set on Edit Profile
Field required, always.

Thanks Wayne....Something to consider at some time in the future, but we'll make do with vB4 for a wee bit longer. Thanks for your help and advice - much appreciated.

[jagtpf]

I've added a profile field that uses 3 buttons, Yes, No, Outside the EU. One has to be filled in - there's no default.
(I was expecting this to show in the user's profile fields on the main page,...

[jagtpf]

Seems an ideal example that indicates no one really knows, probably not even the EU legislators who wrote the damn thing! Largely because it was instigated because of the large social media sites such...

[jagtpf]

Can we transfer vB4 plugins as in Awards and Ranks, we discovered no when we first looked on upgrading to 4 from 3....

[jagtpf]

As an aside, of course, this is an EU issue - not an International or even US one....

But if Zenforo deem it important enough to offer support, then perhaps that's a place to go to if another...

[jagtpf]

Indeed - but not in vB4. I know it's a 'no longer' supported version, but this is a major change.
vB5 doesn't offer the custom-ability that vB4 does (or at least it didn't when I looked into upgrading)....

[jagtpf]

I've followed advice on another thread, to create a new entry on the profile, that's set as "required". Not too sure it's working as there's nothing yet on member's profiles. It's set, also,...

[jagtpf]

Indeed ....

And yet they seem to know what to do with v5.......

[jagtpf]

My pleasure, I like to spread happiness around

(as they say in the UK, should have gone to Specsavers!)...

Is setting their username to 'Guest' sufficient.

That I don't know, and I doubt anyone would be able to confirm without a legal case being examined.
In our site a user can identify...
