Re: HELP!!!!! (ntr)

  • Quickly set your privacy setting so she sees very, very little of your account. She'll just think you have the bare bones on there.

    Breathe!?

  • I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT ANYMORE EVER SINCE THEY CHANGED THE SETTINGS!!

    YES THE YELLING IS STILL NECESSARY!!

  • Haha! At the top on the home page, roll your mouse over "settings," then click on "privacy settings."

    You can make it so she only sees your info - nothing on your wall, no photos, no applications, no tagged photos, etc.

    That's how I have my CWs set. Hehe.?

  • OOOOooooOOOOO thanks for this information. I have a few people I'd like to hide from but didn't want to outright reject.

  • Okay.. I have to accept her first.. hopefully she won't look at anything while I am changing the settings hahaha

    I am friends with my dad, but I don't care because I don't really have any secrets from him, and he never takes the time to look at anything on there anyway. But I got the email when he was in the office..

    Me - OH MY GOD ALINE JUST FRIENDED ME ON FACEBOOK

    Dad - Ha! Don't let her friend me!

  • My parents are both on my FB pages and I kind of hate it. It makes me feel 17 and they're crashing my parties or something. LOL
  • My parents are both on there... and so are all of their friends...  Its strange..

  • It doesn't bother me at all that my dad is on there, especially because he hardly uses it, he joined more as a joke than anything. But even if he used it regularly, I wouldn't care. I wouldn't care if my mom joined either. But when people I don't like friend me - like my MIL or my aunt, I freak out! :-P

    Oh and this new way of doing privacy settings SUCKS.. you used to just be able to say 'they can only see my info.' Now you have to go to everything you don't want them to see, and individually set each one to block them. Grr

  • It doesn't bother me either about my parents. its just strange really that them and ALL of their friends (mind you these are 60-70 year olds) are using this thing.. they really dont know what they are doing but its just funny!

    Lol that is funny! My parents are younger.. Most of the people I know whose parents are on there are there because they live across the country and it's easier to keep in touch :-)
