Hello.

I would like to ask why the  "subscriptions" in profile are available to anyone ? What is the purpose ?

Am i missing something ?

For example:

https://wpforo.com/community/subscriptions/anonymous20/

Thanks

I can imagine it is a way people can see what other people are into. But that's really achieved by the activity page anyway.

You are probably right. Seeing other people's subscriptions does feel like a privacy breach.

Agree but only if they are not registered users.

I see no reason for someone to know what i'm interested in.

I guess there is a gradient of openness vs. privacy.

Would definitely not want unregistered users to see subscriptions.  Can we hide that already?

As for registered users, maybe they should have control in their profile over whether they share their subscriptions.
