advancements in post filtering

[arethinn]

the_lj_herald claims:

"Users will be be able to filter their entries according to their security settings by appending the argument security=friends, security=public, security=friends or security=customgroupname to their journal URLs. Style System 1 users will see filtered pages in the style that is used to display their tag pages and not in their own styles."

YES FINALLY

When this is implemented I will be thrilled. I have wanted this feature forever, the ability to see what posts I posted within a certain filter. Now that I actually use tags, if I am careful to tag entries as I make posts to custom filters, I can use that to gain sort of the same effect, but, for example, I don't tag my posts locked only to friends-in-general as "friends", so I don't currently have an easy way to display only those posts when looking at my own journal. Security=public will be useful too -- right now what I have to do if I want to see what my journal looks like to someone I don't have friended is to either log out, or open Internet Explorer (where I am never logged in anyway).

yaytastic!

SWEET! I've been wanting to go back and redo certain entries, but there's no way to tell what's under what security without going through manually. Hurray!

LJ-Sec (http://www.mp3vcr.com/ljsec/) can help you with altering the security level of various entries without having to load up each one by hand, if that's what you mean.

And it's about bloody time. Thanks for the update! :)
