so, just noticed one of the new features: when I go to my profile, it tells me who’s been checking me out. so far, only Gfactor.
seems creepy, somehow. (not Gfactor looking at my profile, but the whole concept). not sure why it feels that way.
what do others think of this feature?
I thought much the same when I saw this new feature. It’s slightly off-putting.
How does one navigate to this?
Never mind.
Just, ah, checking up on things…No need to be concerned, citizens!
Yeah, I don’t really like it either. How can I be properly jackbooted–well, it’s more the ominously omnipresent surveillance before the jackboots–but anyway, I feel vaguely weird now checking out the profile of some newly registered potential spammer or troll.
Northern Piper and Gfactor, sitting in a tree . . . :eek:
Since you mentioned it I had to look
does seem a little creepy
Hiya! Yeah, a little wierd. What percentage of posters in this thread will look at Northern Piper’s profile? I’ll guess 90%.
:smack::smack::smack::smack:
And yet,
I kinda like it. Although it makes me wonder why the person who looked at my profile did so.
I’ve had 7!!1!eleventyone!1! I’m just gonna nosey right back at 'em.
I always thought I was totally invisible on these boards, but three people have viewed my profile. Which means three people need to have their eyesight check and stop hitting the wrong username.
Damn. I’d better put something pithy in there now, in case anyone…
…
Bah. Nobody’s going to look there anyway.
ETA: Incidentally, my profile seems to list my email in the clear. And the new board’s going up coincides with that particular email address getting a whole lot more spam.
HMMMMMMmmmmm.
Oh, weird. Somehow, I’m not so concerned that people will know I was curious about them, but I’m kinda freaked out knowing who’s been checking up on me. Yet I have no problem with that limited amount of info being public - I don’t care that people do check up on me, I just don’t really want to know who or when. I think this is one of those “ignorance is bliss” times…
No one has checked me out. I’m not surprised.
It’s the Facebooking of the SDMB.
It’s kinda meaningless. After all there are dozens of reasons for someone to look at your profile. But still… I don’t need to know. Don’t want to either.
12 people have looked at mine. Woo!
If somebody looks at your profile, look at theirs in retaliation.
There’s visitor messages too. Another forum I’ve recently started posting at has those too. People visiting your profile can leave you messages that can be seen by everyone. I don’t know if you (the profile owner) can set those private or not; I haven’t used them yet.
Viciousness!!:eek:
