Hi Guys,

I've been lurking on ROFF for several years rather than being a regular
poster/contributor. I asked some questions on here about flyfishing
equipment to buy for my trip to Cuba a couple of years back. I'm in the UK
so it was OK for me to go to Cuba and spend money unlike, it would seem, a
number of you on here ;o).

Anyhow, I've joined the FB group as some of you may have already seen. WRT
security, what you put in about yourself and level of detail in your profile
is really up to you, but there are some settings which I've been looking at
which 'may' help those with concerns. I've not tried them out yet but here's
a bit of info that may help as to what people can see if they add people as
Friends:

Go to the Settings bit on the top of your FB page and select drop down to
Privacy settings

Here you can set individual things your Friends can see

For example, where it says Profile, you can click and drop down all the
areas in your FB Profile which Friends can see, select Customize in the
fields required to be changed. Agian, for example, you can select 'Only
Friends' or 'Customize' where you will then get another window where you can
then select 'Only Friends' plus 'Except these people'. You then type in
those Friends who you don't want to see this specific field information.

4. Once changed and saved, you can then select at the top of the page how a
Friend can see your page by typing in the friends name. So, you 'should' be
able to configure and check want some Friends can see over others.

I'm not a Guru on FB, indeed, I'm learning like the rest of you and there
may well be other security issues regarding hacking data etc. This is just
me checking out some of the settings and as I said, I've not tried them yet.

Regards,
