How Privacy Works

I may be being completely dense, but on my video pages the box which allows me to change the video settings from public to private to share with contacts has disappeared. Can you help?
Edit - I just saw the post above this one - doh! I'll try using another browser although I can't from my work computer. Anyway you can fix the bug for IE?
Thanks for the info Dalas.
Tried logging out and logging in again but no joy.
Tried changing to "Just My Contacts" but Vimeo *still* won't let me see my own clip... ;-(
Tried changin the setting to "Public" - then I can watch my own clip - but that kind of defeats the purpose.
It looks like Vimeo recognises me for changing the security settings on my clip, but the logic does not let me *watch* my own clip.
I'm using Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP. Cookies are enabled. Any ideas?
I can even see it after clearing all cookies and logging in again. Hmmmm..... Curiouser and curiouser...
I want Everyone to be able to see my videos (because I'm linking them from my blog), but I DON'T want others to be able to get the source code, share, etc. IOW, I want the only option at the end of the video to be "Play Again". Is there a way to specify this?
What's wrong?
It can be accessed by everyone directly at vimeo.com/694792, but I'd like it to be available to everyone from just my profile page again. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Please clarify
I'm having troubles with album's privacy.
I've put a password on an album.
When I'm logged out I can't access this album. That's ok.
But the video in it still remains visible from other pages.
I mean, if I watch one of my public videos, I can see my "album protected video" on the right panel and I can unfortunately run it :/
Now I've put a password directly on the video too but is there a way to really block access to video that are "album protected"?
and THEN embed the video on my site - and have visitors enter a password to watch on my site??
thanks
Joey
Is it possible? Will the private option do this?
Thanks
The solution is to password protect the video and only give the password on your website.
Discussed here : vimeo.com/forums/topic:9138
the official licensing status of what we upload? Full copyright, or something like a Creative-Commons/Copyleft license?
A users RSS feed (vimeo.com/USER/videos/rss) shows ALL information about EVERYONE of his videos (i.e. tags, descriptions, even thumbnail!), including the ones that are private.
Also, anyone looking someones albums (vimeo.com/USER/albums) can even see albums that contain nothing but private videos, including the thumbnail of the album.
Granted, they can't watch the videos, but they can read all the associated text, see the thumbnail and know it exists. There should be no indication at all of a private video's existence to someone who isn't allowed to see it. Please have a look at how flickr deals with this, they do it right.
Thanks!
