"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

gonna tag MH in everything
why you wanna deny my Grandma cute dog pictures?

worst behavior imaginable

mwahaha

if you want to insult your grandmother you could do something other than claim a dog is her on facebook

Mine is more in the comments: Hey @Ruth etc. I just checked her photos to see if I have claimed she is a dog and it seems I've done it twice over the last two years. But I STILL give her less grief than the rest of our family, so I still win.

oh, Finefinemusic, now I just know that not only will you keep responding to ridiculous trolling, you can be pushed to action by it

*makes note in trollable.xls*

Eh, I post a lot of pet photos & added you to tagging.xls ;)

I posted some pics from my DC visit and one of my smartass friends tagged himself on Thomas Jefferson's face

how can you either a) prevent certain people from sending you facebook event invitations or b) stop getting notifications every time someone updates one of their stupid events?

fucking promoters are the worst

I have been wondering this too.

Block them, I guess?

go to their page, click on the friends button, untick things

a) prevent certain people from sending you facebook event invitations

When you decline an invitation it gives you the option to block all event invites from the person.

b) stop getting notifications every time someone updates one of their stupid events?

If you respond to the invite - whether it's to accept, say maybe, or decline - you get an option to turn off notifications. It is annoying that you can't leave the invitation hanging before turning them off, but I guess if you're undecided you can always say maybe.

anyone else notice a sudden spike in the amount of posts from fan pages showing up in your feed?

i guess i need to start manicuring my feed :-\

I'm also getting a hell of a lot of sponsored page recommends showing up in my feed now, like "you should like this page!" shit about stuff I have no interest in, effectively like advertising smack in the middle of my feed. AND, now FB has started informing me of all the game apps my friends play, in a big wodge. That I cant hide. Despite having blocked and hidden every damn game app the site ever came out with.

big wodge?

wodge, lump, blob. like a chunk of macaroni cheese.

wooooodge

Sorry. I like that word. Wodge.

6 thumbs up

all the lol liking of stupid pages that went on a bit a while ago is now backfiring as those damn pages are appearing in the iPhone app all the time as sponsored links. "Your friends like this bank! Want to like it?"

otm.

i know the whole deal is that facebook gets to change their shit up once or twice a year whether ppl like it or not, but this is p jarring.

OTOH photo albums look great now, despite being a little glitchy while i was uploading last nite (a few photos ended up in the wrong order when i first uploaded)

yeah photo albums is def improved

iPhone facebook camera app is getting there, too

anyone else slowly wasting their lives playing songpop?

It certainly looks like it.

Yup.

there's a thread

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/oct/08/april-jones-teenager-jailed-facebook

It doesn't say whether his page/the comments were public... quite an important distinction in cases like this I would've thought?

Facebook, the "MySpace" for posh students only...

was said in 2006 and yet now seems so far, far away

Why is facebook showing me Suggested Post to like in my feed, things that have nothing to do with anything I like or anyone I know? Are ads making there way into the feed?

yes.

Hasn't he found a way to make facebook profitable?

they've monetized complaining about facebook

new fb chat interface

also: fb has gone so shit now.

another privacy issue thingy: I tagged a couple of friends in a photo recently, and a random person liked it, but this random person isn't on my friends list, and isn't connected to either of the people I tagged. My photos have been set to "friends only". What am I missing?

Friend could have shared it to public

Nope, neither of them did. :/

Do they even have to share it for it to show up?

I had one asshole tag one of my friends on a Mitt Romney pic and it showed up on the feed of everyone who knew my friend.

Yeah, thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone either of my friends knew. But this was just some random dude.

This happened to me. Friends' friend can see what they're tagged in. I think tagging overrides 'friends only' setting.

Oh wait, they're not even friends with them? I dunno in that case

fb has gone so shit now.

qft

does anyone else have a new inbox layout ? is this something new or something i'm getting long after everyone else has had it ?

also while i'm at it, these past few weeks, when i click on a message that's been sent to a group of people, sometimes it says in tiny at the bottom "message was seen by S, X and E at 11:45pm" and sometimes it dooesn't, anyone know why this only shows sometimes ?
