When adding friendslocked post as memory, keep title, change security

Short, concise description of the idea
When you add a friendslocked post as a memory, LJ could default the "Security" of the memory to "private", and should automatically fill in the post title as it does for public entries.

Sounds good to me. The current behaviour does seem annoying.

That must have been changed in like, the last three days. And I dislike it for that exact same reason you do. I keep memories as a way of finding entries I need to refer to later and I have always changed to private security but left the entry title instead of making it 'descriptive!!'. You already have permission to see the title, so making it so you can't is a bit redundant and is in fact encroaching on your permissions -- especially if its your journal in the first place, so its making it that you can't see your own content.

PS> can anyone find the code in changelog or lj_releases that says when they actually introduced this?

But I do like the idea of setting the default for protected entries to be protected memories! You can change it afterwards if you really want to, etc.

Yes, I pretty much always want friendslocked posts to be either friendslocked or private memories, so this would be convenient. It's easy to change the setting when you're saving the memory, but if it defaulted this way, I'd have to change the setting a lot less frequently.

Good idea.

I've almost stopped using Memories so I hadn't noticed this change. It sounds like an exceptionally silly one and I'm all for going back to the way things were.

I wasn't aware that this was going on! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

This seems like a reasonable suggestion to me.
