OOC: Friends Locking Experiment, part two

[demonbelthazor]

I'm trying to prove to LJ that there's friending weirdness going on. Please comment here and tell me if you can't see this post (which is under a straight friends lock, no filter) and I have you friended (I don't have the new students friended yet). If you're feeling particularly ambitious, please check with all your characters. Thankee. :)

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

Can't see it from hotceltogoth or oncourtandstage (nor this account, but you don't have it friended yet anyway, so moot point).

If LJ's looking for more specific information, the problem appears to be that, when adding friends via the control panel, and adding them directly to filters at that time, they appear to add only to the filter, and not to whatever root-level database friends are stored in. As you do have them friended on the upper level, they will show up on your f-list -- but general f-locking appears to derive from the root of that database, so if you f-lock a post that's not a filter, those people won't be able to see the post.

Uh, yeah, I'm blocked. FH wackery or LJ skullduggery?
