Posting access

[boji]

In light of the current LJ-fail, can anyone tell me if it's possible to crosspost so my Dreamwith posts are public and my Livejournal ones f-locked?

I'm wondering if I can do this in one-step, so to speak, rather than having to post access-locked and then unlock the post here.

ETA: Sorted. Thank you all for your replies.

If you do as the previous two commenters mentioned and change your LJ settings to friends-lock, your posts here will respect the settings you set while posting while LJ will be friends-lock. However, if you make any edits to a post on DW that is not locked, your LJ settings will change accordingly. When I was cross-posting, how I avoided that was by forcing myself to check the cross-post box every time I wanted to cross-post. Then, it didn't happen accidentally when I went back to edit something here for a spelling error.

Thank you for letting me know.

I'll have to check it out because jenett seems to contradict you above on this point specifically. But, if you're right I imagine that not setting crosspost as default will help.

I just double-checked to see if that behaviour had changed since I stopped cross-posting. It has not. If you edit a post on DW that has access set to "Everyone", your LJ post will be updated to have the same level of access.

ETA: The coding to change this has been written but has not been committed. Expect the behaviour to change at some point in the future. dw_news publishes the link to codes committed if you want to watch for when it goes into effect.

Thank you for checking this out for me. I appreciate it.
