How do you invite Snapact Users who are "Private"?

If you are searching for Snapact users or find a Snapact user who has set their Snapact profile to "Private", you can send a request to become "Friends" through the Snapact online community.

Here are the steps to invite a "Private" Snapact user to become "Friends"

1) Search for Snapact users with the Snapact Online Community "Search" feature. The Search box is located in the top left tower bar just beneath the Snapact logo. To search for Snapact users, simply add the first name or last name of a Snapact user and press the "Enter" key on your keyboard.

2) Next, you will see some search results returned. Immediately beneath the Search box, new fields will appear titled, "Search by.... Photos, Albums, Tags, Users". The search term will still be in the Search box. To search for users with that specific search term, click "Users". Next, you will see results for Snapact "Users" with the specific Search term that you have entered.

3) Snapact users with "Private" profiles will display a "lock" in their thumbnail profile image. Beneath the Snapact user's name, you will see the following text "The privacy settings for this profile prevent you from viewing it". If you wish to add a Snapact user who has set it's profile as "Private", you will need to sign in to your Snapact account. You will not be able to invite any "Private" Snapact users unless you have created a Snapact online community account and "Signed in". Once you have signed in to your Snapact online community account, click the Snapact user name and you will see a navigation pane on the left side of the web page titled "Action".

4) In the "Action" navigation pane, you will be able to either send a message to the Snapact user, or you can request to become "Friends" by clicking "Add to friends". If you click "Add to friends", the recipient of the request will receive a message in their Snapact account for a request to become "Friends". The recipient's options are to either "Accept", "Ignore", or "Deny" the request. Any "Messages" received through Snapact can be viewed once you sign in to your Snapact online community account. The top navigation pane of the Snapact Online Community will display "Home", "Profile", and "Messages" when you sign in. The number of messages will be displayed next to the "Messages" link.

Note: by setting your profile privacy to "Private", public users will not be able to view your albums, your Friends, or any details of your Snapact Online Community Profile. However, you can set your Profile Privacy to "Private" and still share/publish Public albums and photos that can be searchable and viewable by anyone. If a user views a public photo or album and tries to click the link leading back to the Snapact user (who published the album(s) and photo(s) and has set their profile privacy to "Private"), they will not be able to view any of the Snapact user's profile details.

Snapact is a great tool to control who can and can't view the photos and albums that you have published for sharing with your friends and family.
