Who can see my trips?

There are three levels of visibility for your trips:

  1. Public: Your trip will be visible to anyone on the Tripline site, and the trip will be indexed by search engines. Public trips can also be shared and embedded.
  2. Friends: Your trip will be visible only those people who are your Tripline friends and to people you’ve added to the trip as travelers or followers. The trip will not show up in Tripline search results and will not be indexed by search engines.
  3. Private: Your trip will be visible only to people you’ve added to the trip as travelers or followers. The trip will not show up in Tripline search results and will not be indexed by search engines

In order to change visibility, go to the trip page, click [Options], then [Settings] and change the visibility options using the dropdown.

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.
