Gio, you have the same procedure I do — new friends kind of go on “probation” for awhile before they see everything my “regular” friends do, including my pictures, interests, etc.

However, I just manually put all new friends in my “probation” list instead of locking down my normal view.

In your case, you could change all of your default permissions to Custom > Make This Visible > Specific People > and then add your lists.

Is that what you were trying to do?

How do I make a default friends list so that its level is the most strict as a default list. For instance, I add a new friend, and that new friend should go to a “default” list so that I can later choose if that person is limited to my profile or has all access to my profile (based on my other lists I created). When I add the person, I dont want them to say see all my photos and wall and everything (I have a group list for this) so I want them to belong to that list first then I can change it to more appropriate list if ever they deserve it.

Thanks.

Hi
thanks for all this. I dont know if you can help with a bit of a facebook problem I have, my partner has a facebook group and he made it as an open group. It has been very successful except for his ex. She is not a member of the group but can see everything on it, presumably because it is open. Is there a way we can make it open except for her?y Thanks very much

OK, So all the articles I’ve found so far allow me to limit access to profile by Friend List. What I’m looking for is a way to allow certain Friend Lists access to certain content I post: Examples:

1. I post a photo album of a friend’s bachelors’ party. I want my “College friends” and “Family” lists to be able to see it, but I do not want my “Coworkers” list to be able to see that.

2. A friends puts a post on my wall regarding an old incident from college, and a few of us start commenting on it. I don’t want my “Family” list to be able to see this. In fact, I want only “College Friends” to be able to see this and no one else.

What I’m looking for is privacy at the level of content I post, or content posted about me (i’m tagged in) and not at the profile level

Hi, I was able to create two new Friends lists following these instructions about a week ago. However, the "make a new list" link on the Friends page has now completely disappeared! Here's a screenshot of what I see. Any ideas what's going on here?

I want to limit access to my profile pictures to all of my friends, so they can see it, but not be able to open it…Do I have to make a list that contains all of my friends to make it happen or is there an option like this that already exists?
Please, help me

P.S. If I have to make a list, how can I mark them all? Sorry for my grammar, I’m foreign…
