Private Messaging

Good day...good friends! There was a huge pile of hoopla here n myLot yesterday breaking early morn (my time)and if you go to Forever_The_Lamb's discussion on Page 2 of MyLot discussions and read this post; "here's a quarter, call some-one who cares"...it will give you the basics of the battlefield! Many of ours personal data...e.g. you; bunnybon, your real name,address, etc., is all shared on the new myLot trial site...and Googling your user name will give you the same personal data...pages cached there! For the month or so..this site was up...by Googling your real name, all your discussions would be available to all public..including any of those that we may not want some people to see..like about family, friends or bosses. Nothing we have done here on this site was private anymore... @the sids...so nice to see you back, dear Bro! The discussion by Lambie that I have noted above will give you good basics as to what all the hullaballoo is about!

i still can not find that discussion you are talking about. i looked all over lambs discussions, etc. not there

These are just the right words I would have keyed in too. I have been away from MyLot most of the past several weeks now and I just logged in today to check if there was any discussion to respond to and I too got that alert but I guess, it is already too late...

Sorry, echo...but private messaging is not protected by my password...anyone on my friend's list, I can PM without using a password! I just would like an assurance...a definitive answer...and I guess it will be something that I need to address Admin with...

Thanks, echo....I wish, truly wish I could have faith about this place I felt comfortable with for so long! An old friend (myLot) of 6 years + has just turned the tide on me, and exposed my secrets. I get very hurt with friends that do that...and I lose my trust and faith in them! MyLot was a place I could come and relax...and NOW, that ambient feeling has been stripped from me...and probably hundreds of others...NO comfort zone left. Thanks for taking your time, amongst this hoopla to respond!

No one can see private messaging without signing into the site. Without signing in you don't usually even see the option to "private message" so it is protected by each and every one of our passwords. You don't have to input a password to send one but you're already signed in... see what I mean?

I'M NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT IT. People that are smart w/computers can get all your info if they want it. I don't know why in the hell they would want mine, they'd be awfully bored, lol. I don't use credit cards so i think that's a plus when it comes to such as this. Had to have the nail on my big toe removed thurs. So not only am i a sore tail i also am sore toed.. Have a good night. love u.

Sorry, my dear Celtic...I feel bruised and battered, and VERY, VERY insecure, as to what I can believe or NOT, after today's huge revelation..and my level of trust is SUB-ZERO!! My bestfriend, myLot...just exposed my trusted secrets! I am looking over my shoulder...and truly DO wonder what they "hey" the long-term results of this may be...just NOT today, but one day we are sitting at our computer, and we wonder where the "HE!!" did that come from.."OH, yeah...it's from the breaching!" NOT excited about where this path may lead!!!!!

I know first hand how you must feel. I have been betrayed by a person I thought was one of my very best friends. I had known her for 35 or more years. She actually accused me of stealing from her. I am not that kind of person. Then after three years she contacts me and wants to re-establish the friendship yet still thinks I may have stolen from her. THE NERVE! Why even bother if you STILL feel the person has stolen from you? SOme people are just WEIRD!!

Oh, I see.Forever-the-lamb is one of my mylot friends. The only alert I have read Today is the one from mylot admin,by which I know they want to give mylot a facelift.Anyway It is a good news.Thanks you a lot!

What I've seen was my full name and location. Thankfully the location is incorrect. All my comments and posts are there too. I actually got worried that my name is there with all my activities posted. I instantly informed an inactive myLot friend about it and she was also not happy about it. Especially for her that she have discussed a lot of personal things about her life before. Yes you are right, we have been breached. And I do hope it woill not happen again.

Yeah, perhaps they should have done this differently like, using code with not live data... done the work for the site offline... something.

If nothing else about the site was/is secure...why would that be segregated? I have made wonderful friends here, whom I have shared things that I would like to remain personal....and I have also shared, very definitive info, like adress, phone #, etc. Makes one wonder if there are any vendetta's out there!

Well, well...that would be a feat! BUT with your propensity for Mental gymnastics..and agility...PHEW!!! I am blushing..think I better go wash this dirty old mind! $hite...no more Scrubbies!

You betcha I am! I shared a lot of private info, with some of the great friends I have made here....things that I would NOT share, other than in private life! I don't know what you mean by nothing to hide...I don't wish my name, the things I have discussed..my phone number to be out there in cyber world!
