in Introduce Yourself
I joined a week ago. I don't understand the post system. How it works. I want only people on this program to see my remarks or how I'm doing. Not my friends. Is this possible?

    I'm not sure I understand - anyone on the site can see this post you've just written. And anyone can click on your profile page and see any comments you've made there. You can add "friends" ie other people on this site, who may not be actual real life friends.

    You mean the general internet traffic? You can't on MFP. It's also searchable on google.

    Thanks loads. I get it. People on the program can see whatever I post. Others not on the program can't. I understand a little how these posts work. I guess it just takes time. I'm an old lady so using a computer is confusing to me no matter what I'm doing.

    Actually, people do not have to be members of MFP to see your posts. You can make your profile private, but your posts are public.
