I would love to see an enhancement so that the moderator/owner can decide what the default should be.? Either Directory On or Off.?

At the user level, they can decide whether their photo and email address is accessible to other members, but their profile name would always be there by default.? I'm experience some of the anomalies that others are reporting in that different group members are seeing different results and because it's not consistent or explainable, I'm forced to disable the entire feature.?

Much of the confusion surrounding the Directory is the fact that all entries are visible to Moderators and Owners.?To that end, I recommend that you establish a second email address for yourself and subscribe that address to the group without special privileges. That way you can get a better idea of what things look like for your Subscribers.

There is already a Directory on/off setting. I think what you're asking for is a three-way decision:? Completely Off, Forced On, and User Opt In. And in your [proposed] Forced On version, everyone would have an entry in the Directory, whether they establish a profile or not. This notion kinda violates the "spirit" of the Directory as an index of user profiles, but I can see no obvious reason why this third option shouldn't be made available.

Assuming we're still on the same page,?keep in mind that both the Display Name and the User Name are optional fields, along with everything else in the profile. If was possible to force people into the Directory and nothing is populated, it will display their email address. Since this is not much different from the existing Members List, you might want to consider making that available to subscribers instead. See Admin->Settings->Privacy->Members Visible.

I hope something in there helps.

Bruce
