I have configured Custom Privacy levels including:

Living Relatives

Photos = Members

and am surprised that when I sign-out and view a Photo-Tree then I can see the photos of Living people. What am I missing?

Thank you Tony for following up.

After your check I wondered if the visibility of living photographs on my pc was due to a cache or cookie issue. To check I logged onto the link below from a device that has never visited tribalpages.com and living photographs were still visible in the Photo-Tree view. Living photographs were hidden as expected in other views (Tree, Family, Ancestors, Decendents), but visible in Photo-Tree (and in the homepage slideshow).

I have also rechecked the privacy settings for Living Relatives Photos is set to Members.

I wonder if your checked the Photo-Tree view? What am I missing?

Thanks

After trying all the available setting within custom on my own site the only way to stop the thumbnail photographs of the living been visible, is to de-select living relatives and set to members only

this means you have to be a member to view the photo tree it also hides the living unless your a member

Thank you again Tony for following up.

I can confirm that setting [Privacy Living Relatives Names = Non-Members] prevents access to the Photo-Tree view by Non-Members. However, interestingly, a thumbnail photo of a Living person remains visible in the Homepage slide-show.

Is this a feature or a bug?

I would EXPECT that setting [Privacy Living Relatives Photos = Members] would prevent Non-Members from viewing photographs completely; full-size, thumbnail, slide-show, photo-tree, whatever.

I would EXPECT that setting [Privacy Living Relatives Names = Non-Members] would make these names generally available, but have no impact on access to photos.

The current behaviour seems odd, and counter-intuitive to me.
