So looking at the privacy settings in my profile. What does this do exactly?

Out of curiosity, I went to another browser under which I am not signed in and it lets me see project details for my projects. Does this setting even work?

To be clear, I said "I had dozens of projects from others that I had saved/pinned ". I am not referring to my own self-generated projects but others that I have saved to use for future inspiration.

Thank you for alerting me to this bug. A ticket has been created.

How do I re-order photos in my Project post, so that a better photo becomes the thumbnail?

EDIT. I figured out how to create a cover photo, now I just want to know how to re-order the photos within a post.
See below. I'd like the work-in-progress photos to be last.

how do I find private messages, alI I can find is conversations and that is the same as the regular threads

 

[John Smith_inFL]

The "coversations" is what you want to use (it replaced private messaging).

Click to edit, and you can move them in the order you prefer.

How To Edit Your Showcase

To edit a Showcase, click on your Avatar in the top right-hand corner and select My Showcase.

Click on the title or image of the Showcase that you want to edit.

Once your Showcase opens, scroll down. Above Comments, click on the Kebab (3 vertical dots).

From the drop-down menu that opens, select Edit item.

From here, you will be brought to the editor used to create the Showcase, and you will be able to make changes or add content as needed. Before clicking Save at the bottom, you can add a checkmark to post as an update if you are working on an ongoing Showcase. This will alert any followers to any updates you make to your Showcase projects.

If you want to change the Showcase's cover photo, click the Kebab (3 vertical dots) again.

From the drop-down menu that opens, select Set cover image.

A popup will display the images within your showcase.

Select the image you want as your Showcase cover by clicking on the white dot in the same panel as the image you want. Once it is selected, it will turn blue, and you can click save.

Thanks Cricket.
But I still don't know how to move the photos once I'm in the editor. How does one move the photos?
I was only able to move the photos if I had two showing, then left-click-drag one to the right side of the other, whereupon the editor would place the one being dragged to the right below the bottom one, and thus, kind-of leap-frog it down the page. I tried to left-click-drag it down the page, but it then the editor displayed the "can't do this" symbol (circle w/ slash through it).
It would help if there were more specific instructions on HOW to move the photos once we're in the editor.

You can simply copy/paste them where you want them.

I just returned to this site after being off for a year and everything seems to have changed. What happened to the top three and the views of just completed projects, I miss them. I assume a new owner ?

Software upgrade. Project orientation is gone, now mainly talk.

 

[Underdog]

Is there any way the resolution on showcase thumbnails can be increased?
Ever since the the forum software changed, they're so fuzzy and unappealing.
I'm guessing that's one reason why response totals are so low these days. Used to be we'd get somewhere between 8-15 responses on most really nice projects.
Now If we get 2-3 responses we're lucky.

Did this new program delete the ability to send a "private" message to another member that no one else can view....including admins? If not how does it work?

It's now called a 'Conversation'. You can hover over a member's avatar and see 'Message' in the lower right or click on your avatar in the upper right and choose 'Conversations'.

Les - I've been assured by the VS Staff that private conversations are private and can NOT be viewed by local Moderators or Administrators (such as myself). Only "VS-Super Admins" can view private conversations but they never do that unless a spam or harrassment report has been made.
