Community set to friends-only posts

[xxasimont]

Very reluctantly, after escalation of the problems a number of the trans communities have been having with posts being leaked via screencaps and posted elsewhere, we, along with many of the trans and trans partners communities have had to set the default for posts to friends only. Hopefully we will be able to change this in the future, but at the

Hi Simon,
I just wanted to add in the comments that if people post something and truly WISH to have it public, they can do so by posting the entry, and then going back to edit mode and choosing public.

Did you cut and paste that email address, or type it in? Because my email address is suevill@alphalink.com.au (not aphalink), which would explain the problem-you're missing the l after the first a.

Edit: Oops, sorry, it was my typing error in the original post, which is now fixed.

I've tried emailing to join the community three times, I keep getting a post delivery error for email. Do you have another email address?
