Is it password protected or can anyone on a shared device open Camcaps?

It's password protected. No one knows the password of the account used except for the account holder.  If they decide to share it then that's totally up to them.

All one needs to know is the e-Mail they registered their Cam Caps account with as that's what will be the new sign in process once the new software is installed. That information can be found in the Users Account Settings. It will be important to write it down and use it when it's needed as If one cannot remember their credentials they'll wind up having to make a new account if they cannot provide the e-Mail to verify it's them so any changes can be made within to any accounts having issues.

No.  The only thing seen on the forum is the Username that you are using now. The e-mail is only for signing into the forum.  One will need to use the e-Mail that they created the account with. They claim it's more secure when using e-Mail than a username.

Okay, thank you!

I've noticed with the last update for Version 4, the ignore process has a better function now. When someone's ingnored their posts are now out of the way so one can only see a spot they've ignored the poster and won't be able to see what the ignored poster comments.  I don't know if that includes quotes or not but it's still some improvement compared to previous.

You can tick boxes for what extent you want the ignore to be, but it doesn't make you not visible to them.

It does not make you invisible, only the ones that you have chosen to ignore.
