GenoPro Support Forum

e.g. On Google search page enter ""kerry burns" family tree" and the first reference is a sample of this occurrence.

I can't find such reference.  Can you paste the URL of the query?  By the way, the password-protection mechanism is done at the server level.  If your pages have been indexed, it is because the publication was once public.  Just rename the folder to something else and all references from the search engine cache will be invalid.

One was to a page on this forum

Navigating from Family narative to individual from index - [ Traduire cette page ]

but there was no way to find your tree from this.

The other one was effectively ke**y-k**ley.com/ but this site seems to have no password protection at all and doesn't have any Burns on it so is probably not yours.

Which tree did you protect and how?

I have 20 private trees containing the "living" which have a double password access which even stops special hacking software which was lent to me to try and it was impossible to get past the first password page and siphon off the contents.

All there private trees are in another location and not in the main file on my site and so cannot be found by hacking my main tree.

Try going to my site where the main tree is open to all as it contains no living details and then try and get into the private trees (the source code is scrambled to hide the passwords) http://www.beath.net/

If you have problems with you password access I could show you the simple method I used which is based on Java script.

Yes I agree that security to my site is not breeched , but the picture of the site and information shown on the Support Forum is maintained on the Google web site. i.e. a picture of one of my report pages.

It may seem a small matter, but when we guarantee Family members anonymity and then have them locate these references complete with photos etc on Google, it can be very embarrasing.

I do not see any need for the forum pages to be allowed to be accessed by Search Engines.

Yes, this did happen once, fortunately Google were quick to remove these references when I requested it, from their Search Index and I have password protected it and carried a Robots.txt file ever since.

It is the images on the Support Forum that concern me at this time. It is often necessary to show copies of actual pages to demonstrate to you bugs that exist in the Betas.

Do you want me to remove the images?  I use images to help others understand the thread.  Don't worry, nobody will complain about a screenshot on a support forum.

I agree , however it demands a lot of unnecessary work, when listing the reports on the Forum is unnecessary and could easily be stopped.

I want to be able to report faults, even when I am wrong , in the benefit of Genopro, and am currently constricted by the fact that I have to think twice before lodging a report or else spend too much time protecting my info that fellow Family members do not want released yet, or else make a fool of myself because I find myself on the Worls stage rather than on a closed forum.

Also, we plan to support a feature of excluding comments from a family tree.
