Viewing my tree - by default!

GR appear to prefer it this way, as it seems they want to encourage sharing of trees.

It was changed a year or so ago.

I sometimes forget but then I go to my contacts list and stop the access that way. Can be done right away.

Hi
I agree wholeheartedly, it should not be "able to view" by default.

I have drawn GR attention to this but the onus us still on us to delete the tick. I suppose we should be more aware.

I have recently given permission to view my tree to several members unintentionally - not that I have anything to hide!

This is due to the small 'box' in the message page which always has a green tick allowing access to my tree.

I know I should have deleted this tick, but failed to see it until now.
In my opinion, GR should alter this - by asking if you want your tree to be viewed, and if so, place a tick in the box - this way, it's your decision.
