A Facebook "did you know" sort of thing

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

For those on Facebook, I am sure you have noticed the new format.

Did you know that if your friends are "fans" of something that it will come up on your "Highlights"? Did you know if you personally are not a fan of that thing that there is no way to hide/block/or delete that thing?
You can get things off of the news feed, but the things in your "Highlights" are permanent. So if they are objectionable, offensive, or completely inappropriate for children who might be passing by the computer monitor, you are stuck with it! I have to scroll my page or keep an IM box open to try to obscure the stupid "highlight".

This is a problem for me. I hope if you guys are having similar issues that you will tell FB about it. I have messaged them twice and they are ignoring me.

I HATE the new facebook layout.

And I'm sorry, Elizabeth! I'm afraid I might be one of the friends who is a fan of something not kid friendly that's popping up in your hightlights.

Didn't know it worked that way!

People keep saying that it's totally new, but I can't seem to see all the drastic changes? I saw very small changes, but can someone explain the big ones?

That goes for me too Rob!
My delicate and exemplary sensibilities are highly offended!

Rob, the thing is, it isn't your fault! You should be able to join any fan page you want! My gripe is entirely with Facebook!

If I don't want something in my highlights I should be able to hide it, no harm, no foul. Not everybody is going to have the same fan pages as their friends, so I can't grasp the logic behind NOT having a function to hide or delete pages you aren't going to join. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, I see that some of my friends enjoy that page, thanks for telling me. Since I am usually in a room where children can see my computer monitor I really need to have a way to remove that content from the page, but I can't. It irks me.

I think Facebook's whole interface in crappy.
Very un-user friendly - no matter What you're trying to do.
I'm not surprised they're unresponsive though.

Well.....there is ONE upside to Facebook.

I'M on there!

Ok, I'll leave now.

My highlights show up all the way at the bottom, so you have to scroll down to see them.
