I was told that when I set up albums here that if I turn off the "public" setting and put the setting as "private" or "profile" (how I have it set) that no one can see the albums or photos unless I actually post them in a thread. However, I notice with the new "activity stream" thingie that my photos will show up on it when I put them in my album even if I hadn't posted them yet and when the album is suppose to be only viewable by me. What's up with that?

Never mind. I just logged out and then checked and the album was not viewable and the photos in the activity stream are gone as well. So I guess that means the privacy settings did work and they appear to only me - and only if I am logged in. I'm assuming that other members who are logged in can't see the albums or the photos in the activity stream either - just me.

LOL, Spartana! Same thing just happened to me a few weeks ago... You are absolutely right, only you can see changes/additions to your album/postings through the activity stream.

Just so you know, administrators can see them in the activity stream as well, so you might want to watch some of those racy ones. Gosh it's hard to be honest! :0!

Guess I better remove the nude photos I have of my dogs in my albums :-)! Well there are only 2 "racy" ones - me with a machine gun :-)!
