Another stupid Facebook question

[everylastbreath]

Anything you post on somebody else's wall, all of their friends can see.
Blocking somebody will only prevent them from seeing your profile and pictures, etc.

So I would be able to see his posts if he makes any on my DIL's page? even though I have him blocked?

I have always wondered how to group people and change the settings. I have a few people who I have accepted as Friends just to be farmville neighbors. Can anyone explain to me how I can make a farmville group and only have that group so the very basic of information? TIA

On the far left had column where it says "news feed" "status update" ect there is a small link that says "create new list" you might have to first click the 'more' link to see it.

Clicking 'create new list' will open up a pop up box where you can name the list and highlight all the people you want to be on it.

After you create the list you'll have to go to the settings menu and exclude that list. The majority of the settings you'll need to change are under privacy settings. You'll use the customize function from the drop down menu to pick who sees what. The easiest way would be to put that list in the 'except these people' box. There is an icon on the right side of the text box that should bring up your lists.

Thank you for the explanation. I will have to try that tonight when I get home from work.

It isn't hard. You'll be fine.

I had to have the windows open to describe it but once you see everything it is pretty straight forward.

That's what I thought, but others are saying no??

What I always thought is- as far as the mutual friend's page goes- you can see other posts, and they can see yours. I'm not sure now though.

You can also create a list in your Privacy Settings. I have different lists for different 'types' of friends. One has very minimal viewing and they go up from there.


And I have my pictures set that only my friends from selected lists can see them. And none of my friends can see pictures where I have been tagged in another friends album that they are not friends with. In other words, if you look at my photos you would only see what I have posted not pics from other people that have me in them.

I just read further and that is your problem. They aren't her photos.The friend could (and should) have her album set to "only friends." Even if your DD is tagged, if you aren't friends with the album owner you won't be able to see those photos.

This is actually the preferred privacy setting. It blocks strangers who are 'friends of friends" from seeing your photos.

Make sure you have your DD's log in info and monitor the account directly. You can't rely on just being friends with her. Or friend all her friends ... obviously they don't have to accept you.

Thanks again. I have been thinking about telling my daughter I want her log in information. I know she will not like it but oh well then she just doesn't have to use facebook. It is so hard to decide how much privacy to let her have. Now there is a brand new first boyfriend, and I really want to stay in the loop.

One reason to block them from seeing everything would be if you have a nosy sister, who just has to have her say in everything. It doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with her, she has to give her two cents (more like 99 cents) on the matter.

I had uploaded pictures of my niece's wedding and had originally blocked my sister from finding me. Well she called and says "befriend me so I can see the pictures. I can't find you and there are 10 pages of Margaret ____ and the first three have no pictures." So I befriended her but blocked her from seeing certain things especially my "wall-to-wall" posts. She doesnt' need to know everything that is going on in my life, and I sure don't want to know everything that is going on in hers.

I only befriended her because I would never hear the end of it if I didn't. More to keep peace than anything.
