Hiding from the public in Site Updates

In preparation to allow search engines to index any public content on Prosebox, I offer a special new setting for the more reclusive types. Based on feedback from a previous update, I offer you the following preference setting:

• Hide me completely from public view

This setting does a few things:

• Any public books you have will be automatically converted to members only books, and the entries will become members only as well (keep in mind that entry pages can be cached for an hour and a privacy change may not show up immediately on the entry display, though the setting will be active immediately)
• You will no longer have the option to make a book public, defaulting you to Members Only
• Your comments on a public entry will not be visible to anyone not logged into the site
• Your profile will not be accessible to anyone not logged in
• You won't show up in a user search for someone not logged in

It's basically Members Only Stealth Mode. It's like a Members Only jacket that doubles as an invisibility cloak!!!

Meanwhile, I'm no longer blocking the search engines, since this setting gives you more privacy than you've ever had on Prosebox, if you so choose. Enjoy a life of privacy, or a life of potential stardom. Your choice.
