Yes I'm back from Streetlife, and look forward to some interesting discussion regarding Lowestoft and other topical subjects.

Welcome Busman and we look forward to you joining in the conversations

Welcome Busman. My Streetlife has just changed to something else not so good, is that what you've found too?

And what's the feeling on the Streetlife/Nextdoor forums in Lancashire, frankiesays?

I don't know BB, I look at the posts and contribute with advice or opinion when appropriate but in my area that is all it is used for, there is no socialising so you don't know who each other are - we do now though since the new owners published the email addresses of all those who have signed up to the new system. I'm not that bothered but it is very bad practice security-wise.

It's not like that here either frankie. Mainly used for discussing local affairs/happenings such as Council Tax and Green Bins but there was still a lot of banter about the privacy issue and the road names and numbers. Nor sure about the email addresses though. You can hide the house number and probably the email address as well.

I've just taken another look and it is only showing names and addresses now but it definitely showed email addresses when I first looked, maybe a glitch or maybe they've had a lot of complaints and taken them off now.

If I remember rightly, your registered email address originally showed up as a point of contact. However you can go into your profile (which I did) and remove it, although it obviously still stays on their database as their contact for you and your log-in.
In the same place where you can remove the email address are also boxes for phone number and mobile number - if you are stupid enough to want to put them on.
