Friends Lock - I can has?

[teyla]

Found this link on jantalaimon's journal - thank you!

You know how the new profile advertises the Search option with a nice blue-colored spelled-out link right next to your entry count? Well, this search option was on the old profiles as well, but it was a little magnifying glass that nobody ever seems to have used, judging from the frowny-faced posts about the 'new' search option I see cropping up everywhere.

This search option might make it possible for people to view your friends-locked entries even if they are not on your f-list.

ETA: Or maybe not! LJ is being as confusing as always. Go here for some clarifications.

If you don't want that to happen, go here and follow the instructions.

Well, this is LJ Seek, and it's nothing new. The profile only makes the feature more prominent - which might even be a good thing insofar that people realize this now and go to change their settings.

Still, it's not something I'm very comfortable with, and I don't like it that the profile advertises all my journal details right at the top next to my user name. And I'm still finding it fuck ugly, even after I had 24 hours to get used to it.
