I'm not sure if I am correct about this, but I think a non-member at IUOMA can "visit" and read the comments, blogs, discussions, groups, etc. But cannot comment or post anything. I am not sure if a "visitor" has access to our profile page where we have our address and email and other info ?

A "Private" member, is a member. And can have access to everything at IUOMA and if he/she chooses, may blog, comment, etc. the only ones who are allowed to see a Private page are those who have been invited by that person to be his/her friend. If we accept the invite, we then can enter the Private Circle. 

Is it "desirable"? Art is in the pursuit of TRUTH, as mail artists are we truthful, honest, respectful of those in  the art community? Well, it must be remembered that IUOMA.ning is an internet site, and "handle" names of all imaginable types are allowed, it is optional to post your mailing address or email, etc., OR one can truthfully say "my name is", "I live here", "my birthday is this date" and I'll be 17 years old in February. (Oh, wait there was a typo just there). It's all up to the individual member.

I personally like to know the human being/artist to whom I am communicating with, by his/her real name, I even like to meet them!  But sometimes that is not possible because they may not want their true identity out here on the world WIDE web, or to have actual "contact" with cyber-friends. It is their way to keep their identity secure.

We have to respect that desire for "hidden" identity.

This is standard practice with NING and almost every social internet site. It is not something that can be changed.

I've just found out that it's possible for a member to set their page to Private or something like that in such a way that one knows absolutely nothing about them, and can only do so if one becomes their friend.

This worries me somewhat, because such a 'shadowy' person has full access to everything about other members, but they have no access to the mail art, photos and even real existence of a 'shadow'. 5I know that non-IUOMA members have access to the site, too, but think that there is a difference between a 'visitor' and a 'shadow')

I suppose I have to ask a question, and it is: Is this normal, healthy or desirable in our sort of open artistic community?

On the settings page...

You must choose to upload a pic in certain area...the final dimension vary by which space u r filling...

The size limitation is specified there...

In general...the image sizes are 250mb and others are 500mb but the width always seems to be 955

I hope this help...

It is a group "Ask Anything", so anybody could answer.  Questions sent bu message are more direct and are Always answered.  If nobody answers that doesn't work, I agree.

Sorry, but a group like "Ask Anything" doesn't help if there is nobody who answers --> see post "Images in Blog Posts"

Twwo questions that I really want to ask about Guido Vermeulen's incredible flow of art:

i) for each piece, which comes first -- the title or the image?

ii) how many hours a day does Guido spend on his art?

I know that I'm not the only one intrigued by what Guido does, so perhaps he could be encouraged to provide a general answer?

Thankyou.
