FB Question

Occassionally, when I get paranoid about my facebook page, I unfriend my husband, then log in as him to see what he can see on my facebook page. I thought my page was set to private but for some reason, even though he is no longer my friend he can see some of my wall.  For instance, you can see on my wall that I wrote on my BFF's wall "We appraised."

My question is - how the hell do I make my page COMPLETELY private to nonfriends?

Re: FB Question

  • Let me know when you figure it out. If I understand correctly, people can see your posts on mutual friends' walls, even if they're not your friends, and they even show up in the non-friends' newsfeed. But then again, Facebook changes the privacy settings every-other week, so I could be completely wrong here.

    I do go through my own wall regularly and delete posts like "so-and-so are now friends" and that I posted on somebody's wall. I think that will at least delete them from the newsfeed.

    Yup, it used to be that I had different groups that I could post to and non friends couldn't see ANYTHING.  But now, and I am not sure how long this has been going on, but I have been posting to ALL of my friends and nonfriends can see more than I want them too. I am very upset, not that I have been posting stuff I don't want others to see (let's face, I say absolutely nothing that is intelligent) but I want control over who sees my stuff!

  • I'm going to have to investigate this more tomorrow when I'm not on my phone--I noticed people who I'm not friends with but who have a mutual friend with me (in this particular case, the mutual friend is my sister so luckily it's NBD) can comment on my pictures. I know for a fact I had it set to where that wasn't possible. I wish fb would leave their privacy settings alone!

  • On the top right corner of your profile, you should see a button that says "View As." If you type in a friend's name, it should show you what they are able to see.  That will keep you from having to unfriend your husband periodically. :)

    My understanding is that if you have the same friends, whatever you post might be visible to someone you're not friends with.  You can go through and remove anything visible on your profile that you want (hide the post by clicking on the x at the right).

    If you post a picture to your wall, you need to remember to edit your settings (who can view)...same thing if you post a link.  The privacy of any status update (even old ones) can be changed at any time by clicking on the icon at the right and editing the visibility.

    I personally went to "Account" --> "Privacy Settings" and clicked Custom so I can manage which friends see what on my profile.  I'm also really tired of the privacy settings constantly changing.  I didn't used to care as much, but with all the drama, gossip and backstabbing in my DH's family, I try to limit what people can see without flat out just "unfriending" them (although a majority of my in-laws, once they realize they can't see everything, take it upon themselves to unfriend me).

    I don't know if I answered your question fully.
