News: Creating Lists and Sharing with Specific friends

You may want to create a list of certain friends so that you can post certain status updates, photo albums, links, or application posts for just them to see. I'll show you how to set up lists

Step 1 Select 'edit friends' from the top right corner of the screen under 'account'.

Step 2 Create list for FarmVille

You should also make one for family, coworkers, strangers, children, etc.

Step 3 You're done! 

Wasn't that easy? You can add more lists, add people to lists with the drop down menu next to their name, or edit lists by selecting the list and clicking edit at the top. 

Step 4 You can hide your posts from certain lists of people.

Perhaps you don't want your coworkers seeing your FarmVille posts, or maybe you suspect some of your friends are cheating but you don't want to delete them. You can create a special list for them using the above method, then change your privacy settings so they never see any of your posts. Keep in mind that if you do want that list to see any of your statuses, links or posts, you must manually change your settings for that post. 

Here's how you can change your privacy settings:

You can change whatever setting you want by clicking customize. Here I show the first one, to block posts from people I suspect of cheating:

Click save and you're done! Those people will no longer see your posts.

Using the lists for FarmVille Posts:

Now when you're ready to publish a post you can select custom from the lock icon:

Select 'Specific People...' and start typing in the name of the list you want. It will show up and you can hit enter or select it. You can also type the names of specific people. This is useful if you want to share a rare item with some people who have helped you out a lot in the past. 

If you want to, you can hide the list from certain people in the next text field. You might want to hide your post from coworkers or underaged children. I like to keep a list of people who I suspect might be cheating and hide it from them here. In this case my list is called 'zero people' as I have no one in it.

Click save settings and you're ready to share your post! 

Now when you hover your mouse over the post you will see that only that list can see the post

Another method for sharing links

You can use the above method to select a few people to share an item with, or you can send them the link for it through chat/ private message. To get the link, you need to right click the picture of the item when it pops up, then copy link address/location. Paste that link into your chat or message and you're done! 

If you send out all available items privately, please dont publish the post to the feed. I keep lists of who needs what items and if they've been good neighbors to me. I give them an item privately in chat, make sure they get it, then publish the remaining items. 

You can send 5 foals/ consumables from the stable. 

You can send 10 calves from the dairy.

3 people can collect from mystery eggs. 

5 can collect foals and calves from the nursery barn.

5 can collect and return slop found when harvesting the Pig Pen.
