Facebook privacy setting help...

[Positively Negative]

Hi guys,
I know this is not software related but I don't want to post in a major section.

Can someone pls help. I really do not understand facebook and it's privacy settings?!!! I am looking for the setting that blocks random people who are NOT my friends,from seeing my photo's etc.

I logged in as another random account I have to check my profile, and I can see all my photo's,wall posts ,everything! Pls can someone point me in the right direction to disable this so only my actualy Fbook friends can see it. I am either retarded or they changed the settings? pls help

1) Click on the Down Arrow to the Right of your name and the Home Tab at the top right of the Facebook Window.
2) Click on Privacy Settings on the drop down menu.
3) Under "Control your Default Privacy" - make sure it is set to "Friends".
4) Then, below that, next to the "How you Connect" option, click on "Edit Settings".
5) I have mine set as follows... First two is set to "Everyone" (so that old friends who have just joined Facebook can find me). The third one is set to Friends of Friends (for Messaging). And the last two are set to Friends only.
6) Then click done. That should be all that you need to do.

Thanks Gary!

yeah I'm blind... But I did apply all those above changes and still no luck
I logged out my account and into the dummy one, when I check on my real account, I can still see all my work info,pics,wall posts etc WTF. Maybe it will take some time to update?

You see what I want is this. Sometimes If I am checking out someone on fbook (stalking) I get this message :

'Joe Soap only shares some information publicly. If you know Joe, add her as a friend or send her a message.'

My profile does not have that. I want to get it to that ^ ? Maybe it needs to update with server updates or something...

My main reason for being kinda paranoid is because I am applying for jobs at the moment,and I hear a norm currently is for the companies to stalk you on facebook and see what activities you been up to. December was chaos so there are some incriminating photo's I don't want them to see

Be sure to check it again in a couple of weeks. They shuffle this stuff around every now & again which sometimes conveniently reenables some stuff.

Also, you can lose the fake account...there is functionality built in to check what it looks like from the perspective of friend, anybody etc. Its def there...dunno where exactly though....I don't pay much attention to FB.

Do you want to send me your name on FB by Private Message and I will see what it shows me?

Other than that... all I can think of is to go to each photo or album and change the privacy settings on each album.
