I thought that if the picture was in a private pool it couldn't be viewed as part of the group if you're not in the group.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, I am not sure I know the difference between pool and group. Are you saying that our group is public but the pool is not? I guess I always think they're synonymous? As long as there is a way to have my F2F photos made "private", and send them to a pool that only Buffistas can see, then I'm good.
ETA: I sent a "private" marked photo of Juliana, Suzi and Deb to the pool. Is there a way to check to see if a non-member has access to the photo? If there is, and s/he doesn't, that's awesome.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
java, I logged out of flickr, and I can't see any of the photos.
From flickr:
Only group members see the pool.
It looks like a public group marked private allows the group to be found in a search and show up in your individual group contacts. You must be a member of the group to actually see the photos.

Thanks for checking that!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yes. This. I picked this specific type of group because I wanted people to be able to *find* the group, but not be able to see anything in the group without being a member. The only difference between the group as it is and a private group is a private group is totally hidden from the world and I saw no need for that.
Anyone who wants to join must be screened by an admin.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can see this creating a potentially sticky situation when a family member or co-worker asks why they can't see any of the pictures in that group. (Or requests to join the group and is rejected.) Honestly I'm not sure why having the group be public on Flickr is necessary since anyone who wants to join would need to be a member here and could simply follow the link.

Jessica,that's my thought, too.

The group can be switched to private, but I'm not sure how people would request being added to the group then.

The answer to that is that you don't control the group and the moderator prefers to only add people that s/he knows. And that you've already posted those pics to your general flickr site anyway (true or not)
