Sigh

Sunday in stages:

1. Sunday. That's a good day to get things done, right?
2. First I must spend lots of time on eBay, bidding on a Willo the Wisp DVD. WHAT THE HELL?
3. Scrabulous.
4. Refresh Friends page, it's been three minutes, SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED!
5. Please help me. I need to have the Internet taken away from me, before I look up from the screen and find 20 years have passed without me noticing.

Well, *I* just refreshed to find this, so, you know, sometimes things do happen!

You have a Facebook, right? Could you have look at my profile and tell me what you can see? (you know my real surname, right? Although the search thing doesn't seem to work properly all the time anyway...)

I did a search and couldn't find you! But I wouldn't be able to see your profile without friending you anyway, I don't think. Mine's here (hopefully that link'll work) if you want to add me. (Not if you don't want to of course, heheh). :)

Well, that's what I'm wondering, since there seem to be different security level-type things. Hmm. this is me, what can you see??

I will be happy to add you in a little while, I'm just trying to understand how the damn thing works at the moment.

I can see your name, photo, and location, and the options to Send Message, Add to Friends, or View Friends. Nowt else.

I've just created a photo album, is it possible to see it without being on my flist?

[identity profile] lebannen.livejournal.com 2008-03-02 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, I'm thinking I'm beginning to understand some things a bit. Except for the way one of my Friends can tag someone else's photo, and then I can follow a link and see that whole album without being her Friend. Pfeh. So, if you have a link, can you see this lot?

[identity profile] sheldrake.livejournal.com 2008-03-02 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I can see them. How odd, I didn't realise it did that.

I understand that there's an option (here!) to make photo albums public, which is what I have done with that one, but I don't get how it seems to be a one-way system, so that people can effectively wander into it, but if I have another album which is also public, but I don't give you a link, there is no way to get from one to the other. Bah. And there doesn't seem to b any way to make my public profile say 'look at my pictures on my LJ! Where you don't have to have an account to see stuff or comment! And there are no stupid adverts!

Ugh, how confusing and annoying! I only really go there to play Scrabble anyway. And occasionally find unpleasant pictures of me that other people have put up and tagged. You don't get that on a nice civilised place like LJ.
