Hi ThoRig,
Below are the steps you need to take in order to make your current public images private:
- Access your Member Profile.
- On the right hand side rail of your profile, Click on “My Photos”.
- You then will see “All Images”. You can manage change image status via this tab or thru the “Albums” tab. There are three default albums: Private, Profile & Public. (below screenshots are based on using the “Albums” tab.)
- Click on your “Public” album.
- Select the image you want to make “Private” and then click the “Image Options” dropdown and select “Move Image”.
- Select the new destination album “Hidden” and select “Move”.
For any new image uploads, you have the ability to select which album where you assign the image. Based on the board you post the image to will determine the default album it will be assigned. (aka - if you post in a public board – the default album assigned will be “Profile”)
I hope this answers your question. If not, please let me know!
Best,
Leigh

1.) Something has definitely changed. In the past all new images used to upload by default to the 'Public' folder. Now for some reason they are defaulting to the 'Profile' folder. This makes absolutely no sense.
This is definitely a recent change, clearly demonstrated by the number of images currently in my 'Public' folder vs. the number in my 'Profile' folder. (I never manually select which folder something should upload to.)
I don't see any way to configure the default upload folder in user preferences, so if this was a systems change made on the back end, please undo it. I don't want every picture I upload automatically going into the 'Profile' folder. This is for profile pictures (meaning pictures used for my profile image.)
2.) Pasting an image directly into a response will automatically add it to the 'Public' folder. (Not sure why the difference...)
3.) When creating or responding to a thread in a closed area, images automatically default to the 'Hidden' folder.
4.) Moving an image from the 'Public' folder to the 'Hidden' folder does not prevent it from being viewed in posts that already reference it. It just means other users can't browse to your profile and see it in your album. If the original poster needs to actually block these images from being viewed everywhere on the site, moving them to the 'Hidden' folder won't help.
4.) Deleting an image from any of the albums will permanently remove it from the site and no longer display it any place it previously appeared. Instead, the 'image_not_found.png' picture will be displayed.
