Shared Defaults Please!

Posted in

It would be nice if I could save defaults of who I want to share with. The default is Self, but nobody can read then, correct?

Default settings

Thanks for the suggestion! The default sharing setting is currently set to nothing, but you are correct in that means only you can view it. The "Who is this probe about" setting is the one that defaults to "Self", meaning that the post is about you (as opposed to another group or person). This setting is used for filtering purposes only, so you can limit how much information you see via the "Show Only About" menu. The "Who can view and/or respond to this probe" setting is what controls who can view the post. Checking the "View" box for the "Anyone" social circle, for instance, allows all users to see the post, regardless of who it is about. Instead of default settings, we are planning to use the settings used for the previous post, so the defaults adapt dynamically to the current situation. We would love to hear feedback on that.
