Getting old is no fun

[wiseheart]

I've overstrained my left leg a week ago, while baking with the kids. Now it aches in certain angles (fortunately not in all) where the tigh bone joins the hipbone. Strangely enough, bucking and sitting cross-legged are the most painful positures, which is a bother, as I do sit cross-legged a lot. Well, usually. *sighs*

It promises to be a long process. *sighs some more*

And since pain always makes me grumpy, I'm considerin another re-vamping of my flist. Having my friends page covered with huge entries and large pictures that make the page an eternity to load are no fun, either.

When did I start turning into this unpleasant old hag who always has something to complain about? *sighs a third time*

Go to your profile page while logged in, and select Other Friends Tools from the Friends dropdown. Under the header Sort and Filter Friends, click on Custom Friends Groups. I think LJ initially suggests some friends groups for your (eg family) and it's probably easiest just to rename one of these using the Rename button. Once you've got a subgroup named, just add people from your full list to it by clicking the double arrows between Not in group and In group. When you are done, you need to press Save button to save.

Then go back to the Other Friends Tools page and click this time on Filter your friends page. There you can tick boxes for all the subgroups you want included in your default friends reading page.

What I did was make a group called Default (set to default), and a group called Extended which I link to in my links list. That way you can access the longer list without having to faff around ticking and unticking groups all the time.

Hope this makes sense -- I set mine up years ago now, and I think LJ has made the interface slightly different since then.

It's definitely different. I haven't seen any Default group, but perhaps I just looked in the wrong place. Although LJ tends to change things at a whim all the time, which I find really annoying.
