DandyDon... I send you a comment AND added you as a friend and I'm going to check your profile every day!! And next I'll add diverb0b! I'm going to join ScubaStacy in stalking all these great SD fellas. Yup, that's my dive plan!! Woo-hoo!!

I got the email that you'd commented, but I can't get to wherever I need to go to approve it. So I changed my settings. If you would like to add the comment again, it should go thru, and even FBasset can lible me. I don't think I can see what the comments are, but I enjoy a little risk & thrill now and then.

I have a profile? Hmmm, that can't be good.

OK, kiddo. I commented! And I think you got it working now. Whoever designed this site used every gadget and gew-gaw they could throw in, I guess....

[DandyDon]

TY for the comment Cat Fish, whatever it says. I can't see it, but coming from you I'm sure it was sweet.

LOL Damn! Guess my days of secretly stalking the male SD members is over for sure now!

Fairybasslet, you dimed me, girlfriend... and I would have had your back!

Sorry about that girlfriend. I was trying to be specific to creep Don out a little since he couldn't view his profile. Though I'm sure he doesn't mind you're stalking him.

Yeah, not like something I would write huh?
BTW, I didn't rate you because I don't know if they refer to:

1)how well you can dive
2) how good you can cook
3) how good you are in bed
4) none of the above
5) all of the above

I told ya a dirty joke, Don. Sorry you missed it!

I really don't want to know who looked at my profile or see records displayed of everyones' online activity, including my own. What is the purpose of these features? I can't think of another message board that is set up like this other than searching for "last posts" "threads started by" and "photos posted."

Not only not happy about this but also confused & afraid to look

[DandyDon]

Well it does suck that I can get to Approve comments nor see comments on my own profile.

Last 5 viewed threads or profiles is a bit much. Never seen that on other boards...

( Insert Iagree smilie here)

actually find it a bit comforting that the admins now have some means in place to make it easier to see it someone is paying undue attention to anyone or any group of individuals on the website.

Is it Orwell's 1984? No. Far from it. I think most of us see 1984 as the fiction that it is or a bad Apple Computer commercial. In all likelihood, the ones squeaking about the perceived "creepiness" or the supposed "Big Brother" analogies would be the first ones squeaking about the 'lack' of SD's concern for them if someone was stalking them or a stalking incident occurred and SD had no way to track them.

While these tools could possibly be abused, I seriously doubt any of the admins have nothing better to do than to 'watch' what each of us does. I assume that my moves are logged somewhere, I assume they have always been available to the admins, now, they seem to be equally visible to the Premier Members and above whose accounts I have some affect on.

I don't feel any insecurity, nor do I feel I have anything to hide when I post, view a thread, start a thread or even look at my fellow member's profile. Granted, I don't do a lot of any of these things, but honestly, how are we to get to know each other if we don't look at each other's profiles?

I am not a premier member and can't see these functions, I don't have PM capabilities, so apparently these new features are only available to Premier Members and above...

Have you become so afraid of who you are and what you do that we can't honestly 'visit' each other even in a virtual world? Isn't that the reason for having a profile in the first place? Or did everyone fill in bogus information to the fields they didn't want to be honest about?

I agree... I guess you just can't please everyone. Some will like it, some won't, some just won't care either way.
