Why is sharing disabled on one of my trips?

We disable sharing links on the trip page for trips that you specify visibility : private or visibility : friends.  We also hide the embed code for these trips. While outside people couldn’t see these trips anyway, we wouldn’t want you to inadvertently post links that would just bring people to an error page – you’d have a lot of  explainin’ to do.  So we hide the buttons.

Note that for trips with visibility : friends, even if you have connected your Tripline account to Facebook, for privacy purposes on Tripline, your “friends” are your Tripline friends. So be sure to get your Facebook friends to connect to Tripline. When they do, they’ll be added as your Tripline friend automatically and will then be able to see your trips with visibility : friends.

What are characters?

Characters are a unique feature that allows you to add  famous or fictional people to  your trips. Say you’re interested in the life of Abraham Lincoln and you wanted to plot out the course of his funeral train as it traveled back to Illinois to lay him to rest. You can create a character for “Abraham Lincoln” and add him to your trip detailing the train’s journey. Using characters will build up a library of trips associated with these character which other users can search through if they are interested in that person.

NOTE: Before you create a new character, be sure to check if one exists already by typing the name in the existing characters box.
