Can BUS Posts be found through online search engines?

Post by little-lost-one » Mon Mar 12, 2007 8:41 pm

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know whether posts in the "Place" forum can be found by anyone other than bus members?

I want to give my fiance a few of my posts from my Place, but not if he could put in that wording into google.com or some other web search engine or something and find where I posted it - I want to keep BUS as a place for myself independent of him.

Thanks!

At the end of your rope? Ask God to tie a knot!

I'm trying.... HARD. Really.

i don't think so. i tried it with some stuff i wrote in place, and nothing came up. i also typed "place on BUS" and stuff into google and messed around and nothing came up.

however, i think there was one or two people who had mentioned that family members had read stuff of theirs.. i think their family had typed in their username, though.

i would think by logging out after each use you'd be pretty safe? but these are just my guesses, sorry!

anyone with more knowledge feel free to correct me :)
not on BUS so much anymore- i do check PMs :)

Bus itself can be found via search engines but not particular posts.

You must be a member to view any post that is not in this forum

However, anyone can register on bus and then find your posts if they know your username or search for a phrase somehow.

Deb has taken steps to ensure that individual posts from BUS can't be pulled up by Google and other search engines, though people can find the BUS community itself, and people could also register with the board.
