Re: Merged Facebook threads.

The privacy settings are in the Accounts settings area top right hand side, when searching for people they may have a picture you do not recognise, cartoon or the like. If you want to practice on me please feel free.

To get you on the right path try a very social member of the Family, this way you will not have to search much, as you can look at their friends, once they have accepted you, then I would send the friend a FB mail and a friend request explaining who you are. Sometimes their info fits but but they are not who you are looking for so they let you know that you are mistaken.

My Sisters in law play the games, such as bejeweled, I do not personally but they are addicted, you have to give the game site access to about all your information and that of your mates, so personally I refuse it.

You can organise events, coffee morning, party and invite just who you want to inform.

Any help I can offer, please ask. Privacy settings you will un-tick more than you keep, remember to save, otherwise you will have to start again. My contact details are very vaige as well, do not give anything away such as the year you were born, mobile number or middle name, only gice what city you are in. You know what I mean.

I am facebook.com/adrian.howarth please send a covering message if anyone selects to be my friend.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Manxman - This is the thing I really don't get, so a member of your familly posts pictures and details of all his/her 'friends' and then you can contact them completely out of the blue and ask them questions

I would be most upset if that happened to me, how would I know the person contacting me has the right to do so, as I said in my previous post the last thing in the world I would want is someone writing to me saying "I am a 'friend' of xxx and then go on to talk about whatever, why can't the familly member contact this person and warn them that you are looking for them (Or someone who might be them) Is it not highly insulting to put pictures up of all your 'friends' then other people can contact them 'out of the blue' it would worry me.

Then the two of you could communicate by e-mail one to one

All the stuff that is posted on OFF and Dogsey is not directed at any single individual, it is up to the person reading it to decide whether to reply or not. There is IMO a difference between 'open' forums (like this) and closed private networks.

As I say I just don't get the face book idea at all
I know this will sound harsh, but if you're desperate for friends wouldn't it be better to join a club or something?

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Can I also help with directing anyone who wishes to find old friends that there is a site called http://www.friendsreunited.co.uk/ this is good to catch up with others.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Yes Bob, I couldn't have put it better myself, also real 'friendship' doesn't happen overnight it takes time to build up, for me anyway I want to read on an open forum a bit about someones past life to judge if it fits with mine, then I might reveal a bit more about me, but never in a million years would I be happy about all my friends being shown on any page of anything, they are all different, live different lives, there is very little, if anything they have in common, so why lump them all together on a FB page.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

But you have to PAY don't you ???? but I will admit that SFAIK friends reunited operates on a one to one basis and doesn't drag all ones contacts into the process, that seems just about acceptable to me but as I say I wouldn't be happy with all my 'friends' being seen and contactable on FB

That is one of the main reasons I don't like the visitors messages on here, it was only after I realised that all visitor messages could be read by all 'friends' that it dawned on me that what I was talking to 'A' about could be read and maybe misinterpreted by 'B' and that worried me.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Sorry; I dropped off Facebook a few years ago; found it confusing, hard to navigate and sort of weird! But good luck to you!

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Same here, I joined up (under duress from grandchildren) but never got to comprehend the concept.
As for Twitter, don't even go there.......
