A few little things in Site Updates

• Based on some feedback and my own personal experience, I decided to split out an existing setting into two settings:

  • Show main background color of other users to me
  • Show side bars of other users to me

  For the full customization experience, leave both of these checked. However, be prepared for a little retinal shock every time you change between light and dark journals. A little bit of trying it out, and I’m pretty sure that for my own personal needs, I will be opting out of the first, but leaving the second turned on. Side bars seem to fit pretty well with either, and it adds a little something on desktops. Not really relevant for mobile since you can’t see side bars on them.

• Added a setting Show my On This Day entries to visitors. You can turn this off if you feel uncomfortable having others see what you were doing in yesteryear (a small number of you have complained). I still to show it to you, but your visitors shouldn’t see it. I’ve also added the privacy level in the On This Day display. Keep in mind that privacy levels still apply; even if it’s a Members Only entry and you see a Friends Only entry show up in the side bar, that doesn’t mean everyone who sees the current entry will see the same thing in the side bar.

All right everyone, have a nice weekend. :)
