I got tired of the bitching here and finally took a look at each of my pics
on my FB. Seems that some, but only some were set to "Public". I don't
know why. Only thing I can figure is that it had something to do with the
many changes they are always making to it. Those pics were apparently put
on there either before or after or perhaps even during one of those changes.
Either way, I think I took care of them all. Not even sure about that
because not all of the albums give me the same options. At any rate, it
would have been nice if somebody could have told me what to do about it
rather than just harping at me and telling me that I did something wrong.
But based on what I've seen here, that's not likely to happen. At any rate,
not going to lose any sleep about it one way or t'other. Most of those pics
that were set to "Public" are also on my friend's pages somewhere. So it
wouldn't really matter how I set them. Oh and I still can't find a
"Private" setting on there anywhere. So to the person who mentioned this to
me, kindly tell me how to do this. Not that I necessarily will mind you. I
just want to see it on there.

There's an "only me" setting, but that's too private AFAIC. I put
pictures onto FB to share with some or all of my friends (I don't have
hundreds) and family. It's pretty simple. If I don't want them to
see a picture it doesn't go to FB. One precaution you can easily take
is go to the gear icon, Privacy Settings and toggle the "Limit Past
Posts" button from time to time - which dials back Friends of Friends
and Public to Friends only and doesn't affect your custom settings on
images. Honestly, I think it's pretty tacky to post anything set at
"friends of friends" - you're needlessly annoying strangers.

I don't care if friends of friends see my stuff. Chances are that I know
them anyway. But I have been told that there is something that says
"Private". I do not see anywhere on there that spefic word.

I don't have any pics on FB that I don't want anyone to see. Which is why I
can't see why people here were getting so bent out of shape about it.

My point is that you're needlessly bothering them. If they want to
see your stuff that badly, they'll send you a friend request.

That's why I despise Facebook. I don't bother with it because they
screw around with it constantly. I don't need them suggesting other
"friends" simply because I might know someone who knows someone who
*maybe* knows me.

It irritates me sometimes I can't print coupons for Persia's cat litter
unless I re-activate my FB account. Too many merchants are jumping on
the FB bandwagon. Guess what? I'll just buy a different product rather
than sign into FB. They lose.

Another sane person!!
I cancelled FB, with difficulty, but they still keep one on file. I have
blocked all messages from them but one crept through last week extolling
some new policy.
The local rag now uses FB for their comments facility.
Damn them!

You lose too. I print out $2 off $20 purchase coupons from Shop'n Save, and use them Mon, Tues, Wed every week. I used 4 of them this week. Saved $8.

I went onto FB once. Never been back, regardless of pleas from children and
grandkids. I suppose I am still on on there somewhere but I've heard
nothing now for many a moon Just the way I prefer it

I joined at the behest of Mike for the uk food group. After a few months of
"friending" as FB raids one's e-mail address book, I got fed up with the
barrage of requests, and other trivia. Also, it seemed that every time
someone farted, they updated their page and that led to another round of FB
e-mails. I really don't see the point of it.
Linked-In is similar.

How am I bothering them? My stuff doesn't post to them. It just means they
can see it if they want to.

I have to link to FB to use Target Cartwheel. They allow me extra items if
my friends sign up.

It's necessary for me to be on it. More and more businesses are using that
as their form of communication now.

I'm on Twitter but I only log onto it maybe 3 times a year. Just don't much
see the point of it.

FB and their constant updates are annoying. FB people should go back
to the old mailing lists and eliminate Facebook altogether.

I don't allow FB access to my address book, and I've turned off most
notifications.

Jill,

Glad I'm not the only person who never joined Facebook. Are people so insecure they have to blast all their business to their friends?

FB doesn't have to be that way.

I'm on faecebook but have no 'friends' on there. I'm there for the
many for sale groups in my area, and also for a few interest groups,
such as camping and hifi, for example.

So, it reflects your real life. When was the last time you sucked a dick Jebus? Did you swallow or gag? Or did your partner gag?

I didn't say I never did. I did, and found absolutely no use for it.
And then they made it extremely difficult to "unsubscribe". For a while
I was getting an email every time someone said "oh!" or "Cool!". They
hid how to turn off email notifications pretty well. I finally figured
out how to unsubscribe. The I deleted the account. They hide that
pretty well, too.

And again, I hate it when retailers jump on that bandwagon. I'm not
joining FB just to get a coupon or a discount for some product. I'll
take my business elsewhere. It's their loss, not mine.

Same here. I was on FB for about 15 minutes before I knew it wasn't for me
at all. As you say, it's not so easy to delete the account and it should be.

But I will be missing out on a lot of things. Like the Target Cartwheel and
special sales and local events. It is also the preferred method of
communication for some teachers. So for me it is necessary.

I didn't mean Jill on that one. It's an elderly person that we know. Her
aunt urged her to get it. She asked us to get it for her so we did. But
she never could figure out how to use it. People would get annoyed because
they were sendning her messages and she never responded. We showed her time
and again how to do it but she couldn't figure it out. She also no longer
seems to be able to figure out emails much of the time, but once in a while
she does. She will tell me that she never got my email but when I look on
her computer, it is there, unopened.


Then every night around 2:00 a.m. I would get these weird messages from her
about giant octopus and other such nonsense. I knew that she wasn't up at
that hour and wouldn't be sending such messages.
Twice, I urged her to change her password, thinking she had been hacked.
She became furious when I told her this but did nothing about it until the
rest of her "Friends" began telling her of the same thing. So she got even
more angry and had someone else remove the FB from her computer.

So now, any time we mention FB, she gets upset and says that she would like
to have it but could never figure out how to use it.

IMO, it's not all that hard to use. Certainly not as hard as Twitter which
once you know how to use it, isn't hard. They do make changes and that's
annoying but seems easy to me to read and respond to messages on it.

I accepted that help, Steve, and I've been using it for months. T-bird
isn't a "supported" application anymore. Facebook simply isn't my cup
of tea. I'm certainly not jealous of anything. Obviously Julie didn't
know much about FB either; she's the one who started this thread.

I do know about it. But I was being told that all of my pics were public
and they were not.

Huffing and puffing? No, I'm rather glad the snooty ones like
Terwilliger and his fan club would rather spend time on FB.

Snooty? Not at all. I simply don't like or need the interface. You
yourself said they change everything every few months. What's the
point? If it works, leave it alone unless you're applying bug fixes.

They make it very difficult to unsubscribe. You have to jump through
hoops to turn off notifications. And even then, they don't actually
delete the account.

Hell, they even had a fake account allegedly created by my father, who
never touched a computer in his life. Yeah, that's ethical. <sarcasm>
My oldest brother pitched a fit and they removed that "account".

I am not adverse to change. I did software QA for years. Of course
that was business software, not social media crap. The programmers
weren't constantly changing things just to make it seem more "cool".

There are plenty of other ways for me to stay in contact with family and
friends (the ones I want to) than FB. If people love FB, more power to
them. I'm simply not one of those people.

You don't know as much about facebook as you think. I am not your
facebook friend, nor am I a "friend of friend". That makes me
"public". I could see multiple pictures, not just your profile pic.
So, don't assert we are the liars, because it's simply not true.

Several months ago I subscribed to facebook just to check out the
cooking section and to see what all the hoopla was about. It didn't
take long (about an hour) when I was informed by the keeper of the
gate via email that I was not wanted there. So I unsubscribed. I
never posted anything, I was subscribed for less than six hours. I
will never again darken the doors of those know nothing sicko facebook
freaks. Why pray tell would anyone want to make all their personal
bizniz available to everyone on the planet, only reason I can fathom
is that NONE of them face book freaks have a life.

Not mine either. It holds no interest for me. If it did, I would learn all
about it. It's not rocket science.

Same. And I don't allow FB to send commentary to my friends about the
games I'm addicted to. I turned off notifications for those "likes" a
long time ago. They can really fill up your inbox.

If you have "friends of friends" as your setting, it's going onto
their news feed. Get a clue, Julie!

Seriously?? I might unsub just based on that if it turns out to be true.

Agreed and if they don't want to see ads, install AdBlock Plus I see
what I want to see and it's certainly easy enough to ignore an
unwanted friend request. Just click the ignore button - done. If
they keep bothering you, then block them and you'll never see them
again. I don't get what's so hard about it.
