Gransnet on Facebook

I do too greatnan sometimes the comment reminds you of a forum member of GN

I have a facebook account which I very rarely use, but I might try dipping in! To be honest, I could probably do with a Facebook tutorial

Phoenix, I am constantly getting things wrong on Facebook and they have recently changed all the conditions. MY daughter has talked me through how to transfer photos several times - she is getting a bit testy now! I do need it, to keep in touch with my far-flung families but I wish they could keep it simple!

I have no idea about Facebook. Can I look at Gransnet on Facebook even though I am not a member? If so, how?

Well, it won't let me look at it without signing up!

Thanks Kat

Greatnan you and me both! I get so frustrated, the are quite a few things that I can do without a problem, I can build and format an excel sheet, I can create and deliver a powerpoint presentation, but can't seem to "do" Facebook!

Nope. A huge box covers the whole of the screen: 'To connect with Gransnet, sign up for Facebook today'. No x visible. Oh well...

Oh, how stupid am I? (Don't answer that...)
Thanks Kat!

Not stupid at all Ana , just operating on a higher plane...................

You think?

Well I am being even thicker because I can't see a 'close button' at the bottom right corner.

Am I alone?

Can you make your visible screen bigger, POGS? The 'close' button may be hidden. It's only half-visible on mine.

Thanks Ana

No it goes smaller. Never mind.

Have I missed much much?. Don't want to join Facebook I am only jUSt capable of this.

No, you haven't missed much!

I have Facebook but I would not wish my friends to read any comments I put on Gransnet on Facebook. Facebook changes things all the time so you never know what your friends can see.

I'm glad it is not just me, Faye - I have asked several times what my friends can see, and if they can see the posts my daughter puts on my own page.
They seem to keep changing the system all the time.
I have also mistakenly published something on my wall which I intended to be a private message.
I can't stop using Facebook as it is my way of keeping in touch with what my grandchildren are doing - I can't expect youngsters to keep sending me e-mails with their news.

I couldn't be bothered with fb, I have 'facebook fatique' I believe it's called. Don't see the point in 'liking' something. The most annoying thing is the constant fiddling with all the settings, and my DD has to keep on telling me that the whole world can see my photos, when I am pretty sure that I've sorted out the security. I suspect they default things back to 'public' every time they change things. And not to mention that I am now party to stuff about my (barely) teenage nieces and nephews that I would rather not know! I have about 5 email addresses to check on a regular basis (2 personal, one I've had forever and people still write to it + my usual one); 3 for work, one that BT internet forced on to me, another that Sky forced on to us... I hope the latter 2 are happily collecting spam. Then I've got a Twitter account to manage for work, Linked In, forum moderator for work, blog moderator for work ... it's a wonder I ever have time to get a life!

It seems to give a different front page every time I go on and takes a lot of fiddling to get back to the page or the post I wanted.
I have had a go but I am getting rather bored by it.

Somehow quite unknown to me, Facebook (maps) shows that I appear to have visited the sexodrome in Hong Kong! There seems no way I can delete that.
