At the moment when any contact is made we have to untick a box if we don't want someone to see our trees.

This having to unclick the box causes a lot of unnecessary distress if someone accidentally opens their tree to someone they don't want to.

It would make a lot more sense and avoid upset if any opening of trees required a definite click to open them. It would also be good if this brought up a little message asking if we were sure (a bit like if we delete something on our computer and get asked to confirm we want to do it).

I've been a member now almost since this site started and it has been the accidental opening of trees which has caused a lot of heated discussion.

A lot of us have talked about this problem on many occasions.

got to agree with you sue that is one thing that should be corrected on this site and as you rightly said it should ask you to confirm before being sent

I agree with you.

I think it should be 'NO TICK' until we decide to open out tree. Then we can allow it .

Hi Sue

I agree to this as well as when I became a member last year I did not know about this tick and my tree was open for quite a while and people had looked at it without me realising the reason why.
