*scratches head*

So everyone who wants to be added and asked me on the previous post, I'll add you ... as soon as I figure out how to deal with filters. Because um, right now, I don't have a clue. .__. Anyone savvy in LJ-ness who feels like explaining to me? (should I add everyone I actually read to a specific filter, and then add everyone else normally, and then put that friends-filter as my default friendslist? Can I even do that? Or should I add everyone new to a porn-only filter and then -- no wait, then I'd have everyone's entries on my friends page, wouldn't I? Argh. Halp plz. Also should I bother locking up my rare friends-only posts. I don't even remember when was the last time I made one or whether I'd still care if it got out. *lazy* >.> )

Lurkers with a LJ, if there's any concern about expectactions, it's not because I add you to the filter that I'll be expecting comments from you. XD It's not a contract. I lurk in a bazilion places (yeah, yeah, how selfish, I should spend all my time in fandom giving as many reviews as I get >_>) and I understand that fandom, being a hobby, works on a "whatever you want to give is fine, even if you want to give nothing at all" basis, so I have no problem with you never commenting at all. If you don't want to talk to me at all, just copypaste an "add me plz" for your reply to the previous post, and that will be enough.

As for anon people, er. Hrrm. There's the update list? (though I don't remember to use it often, and I very rarely use it to warn for new pictures. ._.)

People on my f-list will automatically be added to that filter anyway, unless they ask not to be. prudes and innocents? on MY f-list? DDDDD: Is it really more likely than I think?





I need to write on Naruto's Inuzuka interlude, and then hmmmmm. Perhaps the Sand Country thing? It's not very necessary to the main plot, and I'm not sure I still feel that bunny very well, but... I dunno, I liked the idea... And perhaps I can stuff a few issues in it.

And then I need to fix some minor timeline ponderings before I can write more. Deciding what filler scene comes before, or after, or perhaps between the first and second stages of the exam.

... I really shouldn't get too attached to the OCs I create, I might end up having to kill them off for the plot. But in the other hand, if I don't get attached even a little bit, they'll probably read as cardboard cutouts there for cannon fodder and then their potential maiming or death will have no real effect... That or I'll chicken out and find a way to save them... Hmm hmm hmm. *prods bunnies with stick*

Oh yeah, Teamwork!Konoha now official has a Danzou. (Sai's old superior.) Added/fluffed that tiny bit in Kakashi's epilogue:

Jiraiya and he had planned to stress to Tsunade that Team Seven had needed to try their own way to save Sakura. If things had progressed any longer as they were, with training that didn't go anywhere and a lack of anything to strive forward, Naruto and Sasuke would have eventually lost patience, grabbed Sakura, and skipped town. Sasuke had already proved that if push came to shove, he would look for his solutions elsewhere, and Naruto... Naruto still wanted to become Hokage, but Hokage was abstract, far away, and his lovers and potential child weren't.

With Koharu around, though... The old woman already thought that Tsunade was way too personally attached to what amounted to a living, ticking time-bomb; she didn't need more ammunition to use against Naruto. Kakashi was also pretty sure that amongst the ANBU were a few of Danzou's men, and Danzou didn't bother hiding that he thought Sasuke should have been destroyed the second they brought him back; at most, he would compromise far enough to accept that Sasuke would only be executed after making sure they had enough sperm samples to preserve the Sharingan genes.

Tu ajoutes tout le monde à ta Flist.
Tu crées un sous-groupe avec les gens dont tu lis les LJ. Tu crées un autre sous-groupe avec les gens "p0rn". Quand tu postes, au lieu de faire un filtre "amis", tu fais un filtre "personnalisé > le sous-groupe que tu veux".
Quand tu lis ta Flist... ben, moi j'ai actionné l'option de la barre tout en haut de LJ qui me permet de sélectionner le sous-groupe que je désire afficher ; par défaut, c'est toute ma Flist mais je peux choisir uniquement les journaux, uniquement les communautés ou n'importe lequel de mes sous-groupes... Apparamment, ça donne un lien comme ça : http://meanne77.livejournal.com/nom_du_sous_groupe/

Heu, ça répond à la question ? ^^;

Alors là, j'en sais rien ; je pense pas ? (mais ça dépend peut-être de ton type de layout...)
Mais tu peux toujours placer un favoris sur le lien. Et dans ton layout, tu peux aussi faire un lien (au dessus de ta tag list par exemple...)

should I add everyone I actually read to a specific filter, and then add everyone else normally, and then put that friends-filter as my default friendslist?

That actually is what I would suggest doing? Though it sounds like you have it under control... is there something exactly that has you confused? I don't want to go through the whole 'this is how it works as I know it speech' if there is just a specific question I can answer for you?

I can help via email or aim if that would be easier on you as well... ^^

All right this could be long – I will try to keep this clear!

The first thing that I do is create my custom friend pages. You will in this example need two of them – the first one for the porn, the second for the people you want on your friends list. Right now (just to be clear) were not dealing with filters, but custom friend groups.

The way that I edit my custom friends group (with the Horizon scheme in viewing options) is pretty simple. I click:

Friends > Manage Custom Groups (at this point it is pretty much self explanatory).

Once I have created my two groups by filtering in and out the people who want to be on your porn list and then the second list of people you want on your friends list I save the lists and go back to the profile.

Now – you have your people sorted into whatever categories you want them to be in, in your custom groups. Now it is on to the filters.

Friends > Filter Friends Page

Now it shows you a list of your customized friends groups, some of them are suggested and already there, so if you see some you didn’t make don’t worry about it. Now click which group you want to be on your friend’s page and then click ‘view’.

This will filter out anyone that you don’t want to view and should hold without anything else. You might need to occasionally re check it? I don’t mess with it to often but when I do it has worked with me (like when a community holds a big challenge and I don’t want to mess with it – etc).

Let me know if anything doesn’t work out for you or if something is unclear. Hope this helps. ^^

I hate that damn navigational strip - so I just switch back and forth in the manage filter link on my profile. It takes a little longer - but ... I *hate* the navigational strip.

If your only problem with the navstrip is the color you can change that in your layout settings. There's a setting to "use custom colors" for the navstrip, check that and then go to the colors section of your layout and look near the bottom for where to set the colors of the strip.

Dude, I totally missed that last post. Just went back to check. Of course I want in on the UNDERAGE NINJA PORN.
If you want someone to guide you through the making of filters, ping me. Only apparently my roomies are dicking around with the internets, so it's so damn slow I can't even open trillian. As soon as I'm on, tho, hit me up. >:3

lovelove, ninjapronprincess =D

[identity profile] iniq.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
so the roomies themselves are stumped by our internetlessness... so I don't have an answer as to when I'll be back, but... y'know. oi. why not comment? since apparently that works.
on the main lj site, you go to http://www.livejournal.com/friends/editgroups.bml
and then you see these columns and under the left one there's a button that says 'New' you go and click and give it some name like ninjaporn. and then you see a whole bunch of names (all your flist) pop up in the "not in friends group"... and then you click on them and move them with the ">>" button into the right column. and those names that end up in the right column when you click 'save changes' are automatically IN the group. the others not.

[identity profile] iniq.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
(you hold em down with the crtl button so you can choose more than one at the same time? also you can choose all and just take out those who don't want the ninjaporn, of course, duh, because hey, faster. but anyway)

also, ninjapronprincesslove...
via AIM that would've been a lot more fun. XD

[identity profile] iniq.livejournal.com 2007-08-21 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
arrrgh.
I don't think so.
BUT... I think there's a way to configure (configure as in play around with the html and the overrides) your friends list link so it shows you only a certain friends filter.

[identity profile] yira-heerai.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I honestly don't know much about the filters. I have an idea of how they work (and you'll need the navigation bar for it to work properly, I'm pretty sure), but I'm fine with whatever you do, of course.

Honestly, I'll do the ML or stalk your archive accounts. I mean, you update to ff.net and aff.net right? XD It's not like we'd be missing anything. I don't want you to have to skip a big, gigantic number of en--

Oh snap i'll finish later XD gotta go. Sorry!!!!!

[identity profile] yira-heerai.livejournal.com 2007-08-20 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right. Hrm. Sorry. I got called for work stuff. Should be good for a bit. *ahem*

...What I was going to say wasn't really that important. Do you plan on updating your stories to GreatestJournal as well? Under filter? You've added me back on there as a friend, so seeing your entries should be no real problem there.

Ummm... if you need screenshots or whatever for the filters and the navigation bar, let me know @_@; I doubt you will, but don't hesitate to ask.

...I babble when I'm nervous and trying to be helpful #._.#

er...you're on my f-list for a while, and lol, never crossed my mind to ask you to add me. ^_^
But now that you mention it XD I'll be a happy camper if you do!

at most, he would compromise far enough to accept that Sasuke would only be executed after making sure they had enough sperm samples to preserve the Sharingan genes.

My thought train: hehehehehe, she said speeeeeerm. how old am I?
oh hey, Sasuke's sperm! :3
...how exactly would they be getting these samples?
-skiping logic goes here-
DANZOU RAPES SASUKEEEE, NOOOOOOOO

Well then, I guess I can say I have one achievment in my life. I am a killer of brains.

You can make it so you only see a filter, yes, and ignore everyone not ont he filter. You can also friends lock just to a single filter of people, and you can have more than one filter. If you use the nav bar, then you get a drop down menu asking which filter you want to look at when you go to it.

On that note, if you're locking up and not heading to IJ, friending? I may not be updating my LJ anymore, but I'm still watching people.

[identity profile] iniq.livejournal.com 2007-08-21 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
that's what I meant when I commented - what forgottenlover just said. about the looking at a friends filter.
yes, badbad navigation strip, but maybe you could cheat and link to a certain filter in your browser window... you know, on top, between the task list and the spot where the tabs open. XD

*is an idiot* - but an idiot who looooves you. XP
