What is with...

[halfrek2]

... some of my FList's comments not being shown but a link stating it is "adult content"? is it just me or is it something in their settings? i am finding this very annoying. i understand the occasional NSFW rant or explicit content, but what i don't get is that some of the comments are simple things like BDay wishes and general ramblings...

Go to the bottom.

For "Collapse adult-oriented material written by other users:", choose "Do not collapse"

For "You can choose to filter mature or offensive content out of search results." choose "Do not filter my results"

:D

adult concept THIS LJ. grrr. i cannot select "do not collapse". i have no idea why. but i was able to change the last item. weird. maybe i need to correct something else in my profile. hmmm.

otherwise. ILU b/c you totally help 'splain things so i can understand it. {{smooch}}

Oh, have you told LJ your birthday? Including the year? YOu need to do that.

Don't worry about showing it - you can also tell LJ to not display the year.

yeah, i suspected that...though that doesn't explain why i could clicky on "adult content" without having to put in a year of birth. guess there are some bugs in their system. shocking, i know. *rollseyes* thanks again, b/c once i did the year thing, i was able to select that other thing. ;)

Hmm. Mine seemed not to have defaulted to 'collapse' so I haven't seen this at all yet. And frankly, it's silly to be collapsing everything a person says just because they've mentioned their lj may have adult content. stupid lj.

probably b/c you had, at some point in time, put your year of birth in...you were deemed an adult so you aren't being shielded from all the pottymouthed comments. LOL that is what had happened to me. i hadn't bothered to give them my year of birth.
