hornblower Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm tiptoeing because I know there was hubbub about it but I don't really have time to figure out exactly what the issues were & the resolution.....but I did want to report that I can still see posts from private social groups on the New Content page.If I try to go to that post, it says I don't have permission. But hovering over the post gives a chunk of info in the pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I've signed out and looked at New Content as a guest and cannot see my private group information at all. I did have to tweak the settings to make it that way, though. I think on another thread I posted instructions on what I did which is good since I can't remember off-hand what I did! I had to change the profile page of the group to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 So. . . Hornblower can see the content from one of my hidden groups. I can't see it when I log out though. I even checked to see if she was a member and simply forgot, but no, that isn't it! Curiouser and curiouser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoseInABook Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I've noticed this happening a lot when looking at new content too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clocked on it and it told me I couldn't access the post, which is good, but I could still see the preview of your post on the new content list. Actually, I thought I messaged you to let you know, but it looks like I wandered off without sending it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is weird is that if I log out and look as a guest, I can't see any of that content in New Content but if an actual member (but not of the hidden group) looks, they can see it. Frustrating. I don't mind so much about my own posts because I've shared much of the same content on open areas but some people in the group really want to protect their privacy and should be able to do so.

stripe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I've signed out and looked at New Content as a guest and cannot see my private group information at all.

I had to change the profile page of the group to do it. I had this happen earlier today; it was a thread started by you. I didn't realize it was in a chat group and tried to open it. Because I'd read previously that people had been able to hover and see the beginning, but hadn't been able to duplicate it last month, I tried it out again and I can report that I did successfully read the first few lines of your post. I immediately purged it from my mind, but I was a bit surprised. I think it's the same thread Grover is referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraha Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Right now when I bring up new content, not only can I see an Orthodoxy thread, but I can click on it and read it if I want to. Not that I did, but I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The Orthodox group has never been a private group, as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 ok, looking further at this - Jean, if I go to your profile and click on your topics, I can see your entire post in that closed group - more than I could see from the new posts listing. I'm not usually a snoop, I promise, I was just wondering if it worked that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks, for telling me - and I hope that OtherJohn is reading this too! Because if it works this way for me, then it works this way for others too. (And don't worry about reading my posts. I'd posted about that topic publicly already - I was just whining a bit more than I like to do publicly!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Paging owner of Moms of Teen Aspies (TechWife) ? - your group has same issue. Posts show up on New Content & first few lines of posts are visible. (Is there a way to tag people like in facebook?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMi 4under3 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I can still see posts from private social groups on the New Content page. If I try to go to that post, it says I don't have permission. But hovering over the post gives a chunk of info in the pop up. This has always been the case for me. I can see the first and last post when I hover over a thread on the New Content page, but when I click on the thread it says I don't have permission.

hornblower Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 People who are posting sensitive info really need to know this. Hose first few words can contain really private info that isn't meant for the whole board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
