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

have been seeing exactly the same thing, trayce, although i wasn't bothered enough to try flushing my cache.

Weirdly, it isnt doing it on my pc at home. Just at work. Strange.

eh all my friend recommendations are suddenly fake accounts belonging to attractive middle eastern women?

last week it was Steven Gerrard. Um, no?

I have been receiving friend requests from Filipino ladyboys lately.

'friend' requests

tell it to the booking sergeant, bucko

i was just trying to friend her officer *compulsively wipes bloody hands on bloody shirt*

It's OK, I've, uh, defriended her now.

A directory containing personal details about more than 100 million Facebook users has surfaced on an Internet file-sharing site.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/7912731/Law-student-wins-10000-after-being-branded-a-paedophile-on-Facebook.html

A law student left fearing reprisals after he was falsely named as a paedophile on Facebook has won a £10,000 libel damages payout at the High Court.

Chef, Jeremiah Barber, 24, posted child porn on the Facebook page of student, Raymond Bryce, along with the comment: "Ray, you like kids and you are gay so I bet you love this picture, Ha ha."

Barber, who had fallen out with Mr Bryce over an £80 debt, removed the post, made on 23 November 2008, within 24 hours.

But he later pleaded guilty to making and distributing an indecent image of a child at Stafford Crown Court and was ordered to carry out 150 hours unpaid work and handed a £1,200 costs bill.

Now top judge Mr Justice Tugendhat, sitting at London's High Court, has awarded Mr Bryce £10,000 in libel damages for the stress he endured, including anxiety that hundreds of people in his local area may have seen the post.

My sister is currently on my Facebook page, impugning my ability to make red velvet and cream cheese brownies. And for further mortification, she used 'your' for you're and 'by' for buy. KMT SMH.

We need proof before we can take sides in this debate. You must make brownies for everyone on ILX right away.

Brownies can be sent digitally these days, right?

Question: It seems that any old comment I make on anyone's posts, links, etc, shows up in everyone's feed...or at least, it shows up in my husband's feed. Is there any way I can turn this off?

Isnt that the idea tho? Im a bit confused.

Like if post on your wall, anyone who is looking at my feed sees that - but only if we're mutual friends, I think?

Say I am friends with Satan, and also my dad, and Satan & dad are definitely not friends with each other. Dad hates that I'm buds with Satan and wants no reminders of this. Say Satan posts a hilarious photo of his bifurcated cock, and I post a comment about it. Even though Satan and my dad are not friends, my comment & Satan's cock both show up in my dad's feed. Ideally, only mutual friends of Satan could see that I appreciate his wit, but as it stands, it's showing up in feeds of people who don't know or care about Satan. That's basically what's happening right now (I comment on some high school friend's post but my husband can still see it even though he is not friends w/high school friend, making me think everyone can see it). I would like to know if there is a way to stop it.

Hm yeah that shouldnt happen should it? I cant work out where yo'd set that tho, I had a squiz in the privacy settings but geez they dont make it easy to change shit.

LOL @ example, BTW!!! :D

Actually, this does not happen, at least not the way you describe it. Can you give a specific example of what is troubling you? There may actually be a way to fix it, believe it or not.

i think it does happen, if the person whose wall you posted to has a public profile

If Satan makes his cock photo a wall post on your wall, then yes, your dad can see it, because it's on your wall, and it shows up the same way as if you posted it yourself. I do wish people would stop doing this. I often delete posts like this, and if it's a friend I care about keeping, I may send then a message explaining why I nixed their post off my wall.

Satan should keep his cock on his own wall, and then your dad can't see your comments about it. As long as he's not friends with Satan.

Im sorry the analogy example is killing me, here.

It's pretty fucking special.

but i think abbott is talking about when she posts to ~someone else's~ wall - then it will show up in her non-mutual friends' feeds if that person has a public profile

I guess that kind of makes sense. I dont very often see people in my feed commenting on something by someone I dont know at all though, so Im kind of puzzled.

Ive just scrolled 3 pages of news feed and only seen one person-to-wall post and that was to a mutual friend.. and no comment-to-photo at all, weird.

I'm confused. I think you guys are doing things that I don't do. Or else I'm just lost.

Im confused too. If we could see everyone's photo comments in a news feed, that'd be all the feed would be full of, surely?

I think it may be just comments on status updates - I commented on a friend's bifurcated cock status the other night and it appeared on my wife's news feed despite him not being on her friends list.

I get this in the 'top news' feed but not the 'most recent'. Lots of telling me that friend X likes the link of non-friend Y and such.

oh hey, i think youre right! I never look at top news cos it is so cut down and pointless, but I just did then, and wow, I'm seeing few things I wouldnt usually - yes, wall comments to people I dont know. Hrm. Curious.

seeing A few things, sorry.

Yeah, that's what happens in top news. I don't really think there's anyway to change that on your end Abbott.

But if he switches to "most recent" view he shouldn't see that anymore.

It's really weird being Facebook friends with two people who had a fight in high school and never spoke to each other again. Then again that is what it was like in high school.

It's really weird having 20+ mutual friends with someone who has decided never to speak to me again, and having her avoid me on friends' comment threads. She's really sticking to her guns. I pissed her off right and proper, apparently. About 12 years ago. At what point does this become petty on her part, I wonder?

I guess I will just have to stop saying things that I wouldn't want 100% of my friends to read.

They're not even cock-related things, fwiw.

I just added anyone who I don't expect to understand my jokes (i.e. family, people I knew in elementary school who added me) to a list and changed the privacy settings for that list so they can't see anything I post or comment on, nor any of my other friends that aren't on the list's comments.

this is what i do. stopped using friends lists a while back

u s steel, yeah, that is weird. also weird to have someone unfriend you and then three years later friend you again, tho you've barely talked since the unfriending occurred.

New feature I hate: when you're going through photo albums there will sometimes be, to the right, a sort of "since you're always snooping on this person's page, here's a photo album they're in that you might want to try looking at when you're done with this one!" suggestion.

That's the next evolution in Facebook, the site will suggest clever ways of stalking and snooping that users haven't already figured out.
