Privacy Setting Option----Choosing Friends

[Jan214]

We all get friendship invitations from people we don't know.  If you answer a question from someone or offer emotional support they generally send you a friendship invitation.  Most of us feel it would be rude not to accept, especially if it is someone on your own forum that you will have future dealings with.  Granted, we all get invites from people we have no connection to whatsoever and it is easy to decline those.  However, just because we accept an invite does not mean that these are people we have established real relationships with and may not want them privy to journal writings. I would like to see another option on privacy settings where you could choose the people on your friends list that you would like to have access to your journal.  That way you could not only write in journals without the restrictions you now have but it would be a way to send "email" to more than one person at a time without it being spam.  The way it is now is to "all or nothing" and I think most people would like to have this option.  Also, if you could do the same with the photos maybe more people would be willing to share pictures of themselves with their established friends.
Oh, I came back from a weekend away and found the new format.  I really like it.
Thanks Again,
Jan

Are you looking for shortcuts? If so, you can find all the communities you've joined in the Shortcuts panel in the upper right (under the Search bar). Let us know if that's not what you were looking for.

We're working on a project that will allow you to have more granular control over what you share with various people. Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks...and glad to see we're on the same page.

I agree on this request.  I have been accruing a lot of friends after I support them but there are some that I have developed true friendships with that I would prefer to share with differentl

My, my Jan.. your little mind is working overtime !!!! I like this idea as well !! I like this new format but miss the "forum" choices on the left where we could "toggle" back and forth betwen forums.Maybe I just haven't found it yet...

  I also agree as I too have people who I have accepted friendship invites from that I do not hear from very often. But I kind of hate to delete them as they may be back needing support again.

  I also have to say that I too like the new format.

This is a good idea.  I have some people on my friends list that have never contacted me since the initial invitation.  Marie
