Gaia-Check Your Privacy Settings!

[SteveR]

This has come up before, but an online article that I read earlier this week alerted me to continued sneaky actions when updating Gaia. I checked, and yes, my privacy and default visibility (found in Settings-Account) had been reset to public without my knowledge. I don't use Gaia often, but have found it a useful tool at times. In light of this underhanded behaviour, I'm going to re-consider.

Thanks for the info. Just changed my settings and will keep an eye on it for the future. Right now, this old dog isn't in the mood to learn new tricks, so I'm going to stay with Gaia at least for now...

Ever since Outside took over Gaia it has been a disaster. Customer service is basically non-existent and it is so buggy now with constant issues. It is too bad a good mapping service has been ruined.
