To create a post or a group or a blog post that only invited members can see? Not that I want to exclude anyone specifically, I just don't want this subject open to the general public.
go to forum , community, groups, create group, at the bottom there is a drop down menu that says public, moderated invite only
Cool. So the moderated invite only one can not be seen by anyone not invited to the discussion?
I'm pretty sure that guest can still see it but not post. Let me log on as a guest and do some checking to make sure. There may be a feature on blog posts where you can restrict to only "friends". I'll find out and let you know.
It looks like anybody can view any group whether or not they are members or have been invited to join that group. The restrictions seem to be on posting.
For blogs, you can set it up so that only those on your contact or friends list can see it. To do that select....
Blogs
Blog Settings
Permission & Privacy
If you go that route, I would do a "test" entry to make sure it works the way you want it to and the way I think it will.
As a note - moderators can see all of the blog entries regardless of permission settings.
Ok great. I'll do a test. I mean, it's just an opportunity I have and an idea I'd like to brain storm with my trusted buddies (not the public.)
Welderguy, would you see if you can see my test blog post that I just made? Or any of you?
here is what i got
welderguy, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Sweet! Now to friend my buddies lol. Anyone is welcome to friend me.
I posted a response to the blog entry. Welderguy, can you see it?
Just checking to see if responses to closed blog entry is visible or not.
Cool. Now - can somebody on 1st's friends list look and see if they can see the post and reply?
Oops now you are on my friend's list Welderguy. Lol unfriend me and see if you can see the post comments.
ok i un friended you, clicked on your blog entry and I can still see it. and the reply. so its visable to friends and non friends, however I couldnt see a place to post a reply either as a friend or not
Just below her blog entry it says 1 comment (mine). Click on the word comment and you should be able to leave one.
when i click on comment it shows me your comment but thats all no other functions available
We have a test account that is simply a member. I logged in under that name and I can't access your blog. I'm completely blocked from seeing anything. Exactly what welderguy received in post 8.
I can see the blog, and Crash's comment, but I can't see how to add a comment.
I saw it as well along with a "create post".....but I'm on the friends list.....so....????
I left a comment as well since I'm on your friends list!
