No more public settings?

Hello, all,

When adding new posts, I seem to have lost the ability to make posts publicly visible, even in groups I manage --

The checkbox (make this post public) is gone --

Is this a new change, or did I just miss the announcement?

And if this was a choice, can it be reconsidered, or what was the rationale behind it? IMO, we lose a lot of the potential to get more people into these communities of they can't see what's going on before they join.

And, fwiw, here's a screenshot of what I see when I'm adding a post in the education group.

Cheers,

Bill

"The label says private, but they are actually public."

I agree this seems a bug. Let's hope those old private/public labels will be removed to prevent confusions, since all published posts are public now.

i did notice that my that are to a specific group say "private" on them though, which is sort of misleading - is that a relic of the old functionality?
