I've run out of syrupy compliments. Sorry.

I have something that I'd like to bring up that has absolutely nothing to do with your post.

During the few months that I volunteered on the support board, I saw a particular piece of misinformation offered more than once, and it had to do with the "Default View" custom group.

More than one person was advised that if they created this "Default View" group, that the entries made by those people would be the only entries to be viewable on their friends list, by anyone. In fact, "default view" only works if you're currently logged in as the user with the list in question. View your friends list logged out, or logged in as another user, and every single person and community on your F-list will show up.

Will you start correcting thatmisapprehension where ever you see it? Pretty please? Or am I smoking crack, and has such a thing never been advocated?

If you make the "Default View" group public, it will appear for everyone who views your journal's friends page.

At least, that's how it was explained to me... my Default View is private for exactly that reason :)

Dear GOD! I've never known what that button did before?

What is the point of that 'public' button, other than that? Or is that the sole point?

So that other people can view your groups, I suppose. I've had a few filters for my Friends page that I made public, just so other people could use them if they wanted, or so that I could view them when not logged in.

I laughed so hard, I almost wet myself and had to wipe tears from my eyes!
