Into The Forrst

Announcing a new feature on Forrst: Public Posts

I’m excited to announce a new Forrst feature rolling out today: Public Posts. In the past, all posts on Forrst were visible only to existing, logged-in members. Starting today, you’ll be able to selectively make your posts public with a new option on the new and edit post screens.

Public posts are visible to anyone who knows the URL, logged-in or not. Here’s an example of a public post:

All existing posts will remain private by default (but if you’re the author, you can edit any of your posts and make them public). The setting works on a per-post basis, and only the author of a post can make that post public or not.

Privacy is something very dear to Forrst members, and in keeping with that spirit, comments and likes will not be displayed unless you’re logged in.

We hope you enjoy this new feature; it’s now easier than ever to share your contributions on Forrst with the world through blog posts and tweets, regardless of whether your readers are on Forrst or not.
