Question.. In the control panel, under Profile Privacy...

There is this statement that I think is a triple negative, in fact it might be a quadruple negative in theory with the statement "see the blocks".

"If you would like to restrict the display of some of the blocks on your profile page, select a minimum relationship that other users must meet to see the blocks."

Ok, so does "see the blocks" mean that group can see the "contact info" for example or are they blocked fom seeing it? And even the statement "restrict the display of some of the blocks"- does that mean restricted from the info or do they see what was blocked? Is the info blocked be default or displayed by defualt? It's just poorly worded.

If I select "Everyone", does everyone see my contact info or is everyone blocked fom it? Wouldn't there be a much more simple way of stating that, at least one that makes sense, and without the double negatives? I think that must be default forum software text, I think I have seen it on other forums.

I can't test it as I only have one forum profile, as everyone should.
 
It's who can see your info, not who can't see it.

If it's set to Everyone, those that haven't registered, Registered Members, Contacts and Friends can see your info.

If it's set to Registered Members, Registered Members, Contacts and Friends can see your info but not those that aren't registered.

Etc.
