My husband surely would have said something by now if he had seen any of the posts I have made in closed groups!</p> <p>Honestly, if I didn't want them, because they were gifts I don't need to recoup any money for, so I would donate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919640 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:44:38 +0000 MrsSCB 1919640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a "secret" Facebook group, and the stuff from the group shows up on my timeline, because i'm in the group, but it definitely doesn't show on other people's. With secret groups, I'm pretty sure you can't even search or see the group's name or that it exists. For a closed group, you can search and see the group and its description, but you still can't read posts in the group and they won't show on anyone's timeline who is not in the group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919638 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:43:09 +0000 Corduroy 1919638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This weekend someone tagged me in a pic posted through our closed group and my family members "liked it.". I think the tagging made it public because I've never seen anyone outside the group comment or like one of the group posts/pics before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919634 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:40:45 +0000 Adira 1919634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: This chart should help!</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/220336891328465" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/help/220336891328465</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919630 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:36:44 +0000 snowjewelz 1919630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see that I've commented on someone's post in a closed group (a local mommies group) and it's on my timeline activity!</p> <p>BUT THEN.. On the symbol next to the activity it does say members of the group, versus my friends, or so and so's friends... Hmmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919629 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:36:09 +0000 loki 1919629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: if they aren't things you could get a lot of money for, i might just be tempted to donate and not risk it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919627 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:35:18 +0000 snowjewelz 1919627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: It's just closed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919625 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:35:06 +0000 snowjewelz 1919625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I'd feel okay doing it; I searched and that person is not in that group for sure and we don't even live in the same county so it wouldn't make sense for her to join anyway. It's just kinda scary! </p> <p>@loki: Ugh I know! And I got blue bibs/towels even though I'm having a girl.. She has 2 boys so I feel like these are re-gifts :bummed: And I got this play mat thing that's really strange; I already got the one I registered for so I have no use for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919621 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:33:23 +0000 IRunForFun 1919621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a difference between a closed group and a secret group. Which one are you in? A closed group just means that you need to be invited to join, but that people can see what you post. A secret group is both closed AND only the people in the group can see what you post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919618 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:32:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1919618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I think there is a difference between a closed group and a private group. Other people who are in the Closed group will see your posts in their timeline, but those who are not members of this group should not as they don't' have the privileges. The buy/sell ones I'm in on FB has so many members, I would be scared to do it there. </p> <p>I'm a part of due date groups and those have never been seen by other FB friends, because they are locked down tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919613 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:30:19 +0000 loki 1919613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: oh booo. there goes that idea. then i'm no help! not sure about the privacy settings and if they show up on your newsfeed.. that's a tough one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919610 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:29:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1919610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: That would be a tough one b/c they're pretty specific items... Like.. No the Nose Frida... Or something generic that I could have gotten 2 of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919604 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:26:12 +0000 loki 1919604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>write in the post that you got two! then if anyone ever sees it/questions it they can assume you're keeping theirs??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919601 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:25:50 +0000 lamariniere 1919601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a few private groups and have never had issues with posts being visible elsewhere (at least to my knowledge). And one of my playgroup groups has a few people who are very keen on privacy, so I don't think they would belong if the group was somehow not private. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/closed-fb-group#post-1919597 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:23:49 +0000 snowjewelz 1919597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I belong to a few local buy/sell groups. There are a few random items I received at my baby shower that I want to sell, but I'm reading that people will be able to see what I post, even in a closed group, on my newsfeed?! </p> <p>Supposedly only members of a closed group can see the posts in there but I am nervous! I will be so embarrassed if the person ever found out I was selling what they gave me! </p>
