Timeline

[Ralath]

You mean because you can go back a lot further with the timeline?

Or they actually changed the view permissions?

Both.

I think all your posts past a certain date become viewable to all your friends.

Well. It's complicated. So all the posts made before Facebook came up with these privacy settings become viewable by everyone. But there's a function that turns all your posts into only viewable by friends. However, if you have certain filters on your posts (like I do) where you've blocked certain friends from seeing some things, it turns those filters off.

Which would you prefer if the change hadn't screwed up all your privacy settings?

I've rarely filtered posts from individual friends so the change didn't affect me much at all.

Honestly, I would have preferred all the posts go to private (only me). People don't need to stalk me that far back anyway.

Yeah it does make it easier for people to creep. Granted they DO naturally have access. But its kind of like leaving your diary on your desk vs. on the kitchen counter IMO :P

Oh OK.. I'm stalking myself now.. kinda weird...

I'm pretty sure I've set limits from way back... seems to still be there case..
