Activity Stream showing posts from private groups too

[PindralProgger]

I think it's a cool feature here, but should posts in private groups be included?

[spellbound]

Posts to private groups should be invisible to non-members of the group. Private groups are not necessarily exclusionary; should you feel you belong in one group or another you should at least be allowed to petition to join. But some private groups are private because, while the people within the group generally agree with each other, many people outside the group consider those inside contemptuous. But the group like being here and wouldn't be here at all if they did not share a love for progressive music. I don't care too much if my posts to public forums are public in an activity stream or profile, after all they are there in a public forum for all to read, but I prefer my posts to private groups to be private. Why should I invite more enmity than I already have? I'm a nice guy, but my views on some subjects may be quite different than yours, and many people seem to be intolerant of that. Please find a way to fix this. Please.

I agree with Steve and Alan.

And we really don't want the pictures in the NSFW group appearing in the activity stream

Does the activity stream show all posts from all groups....or just open groups and those groups you've joined? I'm wondering if the activity stream excludes posts from private groups you have not joined.

That's a good question for sure. Anyone know? :)

I quicky looksee on the Activity Stream...I went to Groups and saw a couple I'm not in like the Hockey one and another. On the group ID they said recent activity something like 19 and 23 minutes ago...I then went to the Activity Stream and looked for those two groups and did not see any mention of them. So, yeah, maybe it does detect what groups you are in?

Anyone else able to confirm?

It appears that you cannot see posts in the activity stream from groups that are set to private.

That would be a good thing :)

NogbadTheBad said:
It looks like posts in invite only groups appear in the activity stream? If this is so then it kind of defeats the purpose of them being private

You can only see stuff going into the private groups of which you are a member.

You can't see posts going into other private groups.

I just tested this:

I have an alter-ego login user-ID called "DNG", which IU'm using for testing purposes.
As a I posted something into a private group.
I could see it in the activity stream.
I logged out and in again as DNG - could not see it.
Logged in again as myself again - could see the post.

What the heck is activity stream? Can't find that anywhere.

http://www.progressiveears.org/forum/activity.php There's a link in some menus here too for it. It reminds me of the stream at Facebook where you see everyone's incoming.

Again, you are a Saint, Sir Glenday!
