I just did a Bing search using my full name and happily no pictures from YLF show up other than what I've posted from YLF onto Pinterest. And of course there's Facebook, very public. Thank you Greg.

I love that all of my fashion Pinterest pins, with gorgeous models, show up under my name. But maybe for clarity I need to change my Pinterest name to something else. I post no pictures of myself on Pinterest, the only place you will find them is on Facebook.

Great upgrade. Thanks!

Thanks so much Greg! YLF continues to be the best fashion site ever!

Thanks! Now to post a few more comments so I can move to "active member" status!

Yes, I've been lurking, too! I've been reading Angie's blog and the forum ever since I met her in the shoe department at Nordstrom! I'm glad for the motivation to get more involved.

Brilliant! Thank you Greg and Angie. Even with headless pictures I was a bit worried

love this new policy!

I have been a member and reading YLF for years. Finally, I am making some comments since I NEED to see all the photos. Who knows, maybe I'll post a photo one day soon. Even though I have never commented in the past, I have received a lot of great advice and shopping assistance so thanks to all of you.

This is a great change, Greg and Angie! Thank you!

I too have been encouraged to join since you have implemented new privacy rules around the viewing of photos. I have been enjoying your forum for some time now but have been hesitant to join due to the temptation of submitting photos and breaching my own sense of privacy. I have observed this forum to be like everyone's best friend. Thank you

I have been a quiet observer for a while now and have learnt so much about my own style from reading posts on the forum. YLF has become my daily fix!

Must be Lurkers' Day Out, LOL! I have been reading for years and have learned so much from Angie and the generosity of all the women who post. Thank you all for making this forum and site a daily must-visit.

I noticed this too, a wonderful idea, thank you so much

Thanks so much, Greg. I love posting photos but have always had privacy concerns. I will probably continue to crop my head from the photos, but I will feel much more comfortable posting WIW photos from here on. I really appreciate all you do to continually improve the site and our user experience.

I think it will make many feel much more comfortable (!)

Hello - even though I joined YLF several months ago, I have been quite content to just follow the posts and enjoy everyone else's comments and WIW's. Now with the privacy changes I am going to try to participate and even try to figure out how to upload my own WIWs.

Well this really got me to open up and set up a profile after five years of lurking. Good decision though....

I just found YLF a couple weeks ago, and this gave me the motivation to sign up. Especially now since there will be a bit more privacy. I'm looking forward to posting some outfits and some K/R.
Thanks!

Oh wow! Thanks for the 'Boost' Greg!

Wow, welcome lurkers! I did not think of the effect that people would join the site to see pictures. I was only thinking of existing members who will now post. So yay for multiple benefits of this change!

Thanks, Greg! Great idea!

I've been lurking since summer 2012 and pondering the question whether and when I should take the plunge. Well - thanks for the final push! I guess I needed it Now I'm really looking forward to become an active member (in NINE MORE DAYS, ugh...) and comment the heck out of your gorgeous outfit pictures! And maybe even post my own pics some day. We'll see

I appreciate the additional privacy, and am glad it's already resulting in more people wanting to join YLF.

I do have privacy concerns. I also am not tech savvy when it comes to posting pics.

I am a long time lurker too, about 3+ years and have learnt so much from so many on the forum. A large part of my wardrobe has been shaped by Angie's recommendations.

Another lurker, delurking! Hello all!

I visit this site several times a week for inspiration… Will be happy to get the pictures back.

What are the rules for becoming an active member again?

As many have said, maybe this will be the step for me to start posting photos myself! This is such a wonderful site.

Tierra, after 3 days and posting 3 times (i.e. twice more after your reply above) you'll be an active member.

Thank you Greg! I sincerely appreciate such a prompt reply!

Another "quiet observer" (much better sounding term than lurker!) here who used the new policy as motivation to sign up. I've thought about posting pics from time to time, but always hesitated because of the public nature on the forum. I'm at a busy moment in life right now, but hope at some point to be posting pics. I've always admired what a supportive forum this is, it will be great to be a more active member!

What an awesome change.
So happy about it. No one will understand

Thanks for the boost Greg.
