Other things to note:

• Currently you cannot set view permissions on specific pictures. The permissions are set by album. If you don't wish Everyone to see your pictures, make sure you set the permissions when you set up the album. Album owner only=you, Registered members=members who log in (not the general public), Everyone=anyone who comes to the site, registered member or not, Specific members=members you specifically list.
• If you create an album, with specific permissions, the next time you create a new album, those permissions will be remembered. Keep this in mind when creating new albums, and make sure you have the permissions for the new album set correctly.
• DO NOT click the blue Request Verification button unless you are submitting the photo so you can become a verified Gold Member.
