Question from Alex: This is probably a dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway.
Will my friends (and their friends) still be able to see a photo that I deleted after they have shared it?
I posted a picture a few days ago that I shouldn’t have posted and it was shared like crazy by my friends. I deleted it this morning, but will they still be able to see it?
I really hope the answer is no.

Question from Mary: Hi, Rick. I need to know how I can set my Facebook privacy so that only my Friends can see my photos, albums and etc.
I recently got a private message from a total stranger saying he enjoyed looking at my pictures. That really upset me!
I need help changing my privacy settings so people that are not my friends won’t be able to see my pictures. PLEASE HELP???

Question from Kayleigh: I’ve noticed that sometimes when I look at someone’s profile on Facebook there’s no “Add Friend” button.
I don’t know if it’s always been that way because I just started noticing it a few days ago.
Can you tell me why there’s no “Add Friend” button on those profiles? [Read more…]
As you probably know, Facebook asks for some pretty sensitive information when someone signs up for an account.
For example, among other things they request our address, phone number and birthdate.
Many folks just go ahead and enter whatever info Facebook asks for without giving it a second thought, and then they make that info viewable by all of their Facebook friends.
Even worse, lots of other folks make their personal info viewable by the general public (i.e. billions of complete strangers)!
That, in my opinion, is a very bad mistake. [Read more…]
Question from Bridgette: I hate how Facebook shows our birthdates to the entire world.
Can you tell me how to remove mine from my profile?
I’ve repeatedly searched FB Help but cannot find anything anywhere that explains how to do it.
If you can help, you would be my hero!! Thanks much. [Read more…]
