Sadly yes I am so is the guest house and so is my beesite.

Has it made a whit of difference? Not a single one that I am aware of.

Thanks RR. I didn't really want to "dislike" the page, but I clicked there anyway, as a last resort ... and lo-n-behold you get tickboxes for newsfeed/notifications! Why there?!? Who is this Zuckerberg guy and who put him in charge of everything?!?

He's CEO...bitch.

Likes can predict your race, IQ, sexuality, substance use, personality or political views
That people's opinions and background can be inferred from their, um, opinions, does not seem surprising.

Sadly yes, but not intentionally.

My "best mate" has posted a picture of me and him on his wall, taken at the Reading Rock Festival 1978.

One of my other "mates" showed it to me on his phone, whilst wetting himself laughing.

Can't see what was funny really, I mean didn't everyone have long hair, an ELP World Tour 74 t-shirt, an RAF Greatcoat, faded denims and cowboy boots in those days ?

I think we need to see the picture if you want an honest opinion Littlesox.

Someone has been wanting to 'friend' me for about 2 months now. I don't recognise him; previous spammer types have been really obvious. This guy only has 4 posts on his Wall.

Giving him the flick seems oddly mean ...

Dibdib · « **Reply #232 on:** 07 April, 2013, 12:22:23 pm »

I'm actually starting to use it more again these days.

It's like any other tool - only useful if you have a use for it.

Of course. Certainly. I did.

Has anyone else noticed (on m.facebook.com anyway) that posts are not appearing in time order?

I've seen this twice this week. Even took a screenshot in case I was going mad!

Bizarre website, just bizarre ...

I'd noticed that as well. Very annoying.

Have you tried
Settings - Most recent
Compared to Top stories

My 99 year old great uncle is in Spain. His carers are posting stills and videos of his exploits.
He seems to be having fun.
Which is good.

Er ... thanks ... but how the f**k else would they choose to order replies to a post?!?

Bizarre. And why f**k with something that worked OK before?

That's my general problem with Facebook and why I virtually never use it now - I used to find it a useful way to connect with friends and family, now I find it an unusable piece of crap bloatware.

tom_e · « **Reply #240 on:** 17 May, 2013, 09:51:11 am »

And if you try to use the "most recent" setting then:

a) Facebook will change it back occasionally, just to annoy you.
b) You'll discover their interpretation of most recent is most recently posted topic, not topic with most recent posts. So ongoing discussions disappear down the page.
c) Both of the rules above, and any other logic, will be overriden by any organisation which gives facebook money.

If you're used any kind of forum or newsgroup software before then it's a huge leap backward; crap bloatware as WW says.

This has long been a gripe of mine. It just reinforces the ephemeral nature of stuff on FB. You can't have a conversation with anyone for more than 5 minutes - there is only ever time for users to post the briefest inane replies, anything else gets lost.

:Mattc is - currently logged in, but ignoring facebook:

Is there any free software to lauch DofS attacks on an organisation's FB page? Please!!! Anything to make them use a grown-up form of communication...

Wascally Weasel · « **Reply #242 on:** 29 May, 2013, 02:14:14 am »

It's got even worse and wants you to log ridiculous amounts of personal details and 'life events'.

So now I was born in 1905, educated on Mars and arrived here from the future in 1969. If they won't take me seriously, I refuse to take them seriously.

I think I added a lot more about squirrels but I was drunk at the time.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #243 on:** 01 June, 2013, 12:21:25 am »

Mrs Cudzo has told me that Facebook has issued "friend" requests to people in her email address book, who she does not want to be "friends" with, without her knowledge. What really annoys her is those people have accepted her "request"!

LindaG · « **Reply #244 on:** 01 June, 2013, 10:58:57 pm »

Facebook has turned into a weird stalky ex. It wants to know what I'm doing, how I feel, and now - it wants my 'phone number!

Well it can't have it.

Polar Bear · « **Reply #245 on:** 01 June, 2013, 11:29:45 pm »

Facebook became a nightmare so I have deactivated my account. Stalkers becoming friends without my approval and a truly shite format sealed it's fate.

Dibdib · « **Reply #246 on:** 17 June, 2013, 02:32:52 pm »

Do you have your "real name" (which looks like a "real name") on your faceache profile? They are ridiculously strict on that policy, despite plenty of good reasons to the contrary.

Adam · « **Reply #247 on:** 17 June, 2013, 08:06:22 pm »

Are you posting every day trivial comments about what you've done, what you had for lunch etc? If not, that's why you might get blocked.

mattc · « **Reply #248 on:** 17 June, 2013, 08:07:55 pm »

You could post every time you moan about FB on another (superior) social network.

HTH,
Matt

barakta · « **Reply #249 on:** 17 June, 2013, 09:54:01 pm »

Well I have got myself blocked for 12 hours because admins on a group I'm on were running riot and I had the audacity to call them on it. The weird thing is the issue happened on Saturday but the post I made got blocked today so I can read but not *do* anything.

Considerably unimpressed. I have registered my objections as best as possible cos they leave racist, sexist, violent, disablist and other hate speech up yet I get banned cos of some crazy group admins who decide they don't like me despite being someone who tried to mediate in a fight...

Fuckem. Will probably leave the group in question if they're going to do that kind of shit. I hope FB reply but I don't expect them to. I'd ditch FB but that seems to be where people lurk these days including family and I am out of loops as it is.
