I've never bothered with filters, but I just realized that of course my friends-locked posts go to all the communities I'm signed onto.

Can anyone tell me how I might get the friends locked posts to go ONLY to individuals on my Flist, not to communities? I realize because of when I'm posting this that not too many people may see it, so I'll ask again if nobody responds. Thanks!

You know, I don't think it actually "goes" to your friends, just that they can see it if they have a friends list, and I don't think communities or feeds do that...

I'm just guessin'.

I do know if you go to friends tools and make a group, leaving out all your communities, you can make sure they can't see it, but you have to remember to friends lock it using "custom" and the name you used for that group of friends.

I don't know if that made sense or not. :(

Actually, the communities can't see your Flocked posts. But if you do want more control over who sees what locked post, you can set up Custom filters including/excluding users of your choice, and use them as settings when you're posting.

Thanks for that link because I had wondered exactly the same as chelseagirl47

NP. Glad to be of help.

Actually, my friends locked post did show up on the friends list of one of the communities. I had never thought they did, but there it was. Which made me really nervous. (Unless I could only see it because it was mine, but I never put my own jounral on my F-list.)

BTW, caras galadhon, I'm skipping ICFA this year because I'm trying to defend by the end of the school year. But my husband and I had such a terrific time last year that once I'm done we're hoping to become regulars. So I'll be looking forward to your report!

That's exactly why. My journal isn't on my Flist either, but since I am the originator of locked posts, I can see them while I'm logged in, whether I'm viewing someone else's Flist that has listed me as a friend (whether I've listed them back or not), or a community's Flist when I'm a member. So no worries. ^_^

Aww. I was hoping to see you there this year, but the defense comes first, after all. Good luck on it! I'm sure it'll be a huge weight off your shoulders once you're done, and of course the ICFA and the rest of us will be waiting. *G*

You have really fantastic user pics!

Thank you! That's very nice of you to say. ^_^

I noticed the same thing and actually did set up a filter specifically to keep my communities off.

Go to manage friend and choose Edit Custom Friends Groups. Choose new, then the rest should be intuitive. Let me know if you have any other questions.
