Gone private?

I am saddened by the fact that some of my friends from the old days are inaccessible to me. I hope it’s that they’ve gone (temporarily) private and haven’t removed me from their friends list, although I think that if they had, they’d not be on my friends list. These were people with whom I at least noted regularly in the “old days” as well as people I knew in real life, met through the world of OD. Anyway, I hope that’s what it is. And I hope they unprivatize again as I would really love to be able to connect with them through OD. They mean a lot to me. Funny how some things remain exactly the same, including my insecurities combined with the longing to connect in the way that can only happen on Open Diary.

My friends list came back with only one name on it when I rejoined. It’s sad to think those old connections could be lost. But this is a unique little world we have here in OD and there are plenty of us out there looking to rebuild the communities we have been missing the last few years.

@greenink Well I’ve just requested a friendship with you! Friends are one of the things that make OD unique; it’s hardly the same thing as “friends” on Facebook. Something different. Hopefully our connections will return and grow.

If someone has a members-only diary, you need to be a paid member to view it. The Diary Master wrote about this earlier in the week.

Hey Me Ex, yes, I’ve gone private for now. Just waiting to see what’s what for a little while. Was here testing it out a little while back but, there wasn’t anyone on here that I knew and I was finding that I really don’t have too much to say right now. It’s good to see you back here again. I may get my act totgether soon and come back for real. Xx 🙂

I found that My default setting was on ‘members only’ which stopped people from accessing my diary so I changed that… Also my favourites only started coming back onto my list when they actually activated their accounts. Maybe they are just a bit slow on the update and haven’t got around to doing that yet…

I have my diary public for now but will change to members only soon. Maybe with a little time more previous members will return and begin writing again and will connect. Hang in here with us 🙂

I’ve had the same problem. My friends are coming back on my list slowly, but I don’t have access to some of them. 🙁

@gilraent_1 I think some people are hanging back until they see how things go, what they have to say, stuff like that. Anyway, glad to see you’re here again!
