Dumb Question about the Cross-poster

[ex_beautyofgr925]

If I create a post on DW on my "access" filter, but cross-post it to another site (LJ), then it will effectively show up as public on the other site (and not be filtered in any way), correct?*

My confusion stems from the fact that I have allowed some users with OpenID livejournal accounts access to my journal. My understanding of OpenID is that it is a tool for cross-manuevering between sites, and that the access I give to those users is limited to the DW site, and not LJ.

*I realize I can set my entry default on LJ to a minimum security level of "Friends" and effectively limit the post to my friends list, and somewhat curb this issue. I'm just curious as to how cross-posting something to my "access" list and another site works out.

Thanks. :}

Having just tested it out, it seems not to be doing that now: I tried both manually setting the DW security and doing it with a journal-wide change, and the LJ posts both came out with the same security as the DW ones.

So it might have been a bug that was now fixed. Or it might relate to importing, which was what I was in the middle of when the one that *didn't* have the same security....

Haaaaang on. When I made the earlier post, I immediately edited to change the security level on DW. That'll have edited it on LJ as well, won't it?

Ignore me. I think it's working just how it's supposed to.
