Forum Visibility & Privacy

There are three main types of forum visbility on Urban75:

1. Fully Public - the forum and threads can be read without registering. Will be indexed by search engines etc. Most of the board's forums are public.
2. Thread Title Public - the thread titles can be read by anyone, but reading posts in threads requires registration. Search engines can only index the titles.Only the "general chat" and "drugs" forum have this visibility.
3. Community - these forums are only visible to those users who have been registered for several weeks and made a certain number of posts. They are not visible to search engines. These forums are currently part of the Community group.
   • community chat
   • birthday greetings
   • in memoriam
   • health, relationships, sexuality
   • urban parenting
   • recycle your stuff
   • feedback forum

The latter two types give slightly more privacy than the first, as content is not index by search engines, and requires account registration as a minimum.

Please remember that anything you post on the boards is effectively "out there on the Internet". In the case of the Thread Title Public visibility, anyone can register an account and see what has been posted. Although the Community visibility gives more protection, if someone is determined to see what is in there, it is very possible that they will register and work towards gaining access.

If you don't want to risk people you know or your employer seeing what you are posting, don't post it!
