Facebook changes itself so often, its hard to keep up and just when you get all your setting clicked off perfectly, they change it again! I used to play games on it, but now I am down to ONE game, and I am about to abandon it.

I find this to be a very balanced article on the fb changes

One more reason NOT to use FB.

When we got home from vacation, we had a Yahoo alert that someone requested our password to our email!

I had to change may password within 24 hrs and change our two security questions! I bet that came from FB.

I am not really going to use FB much anymore, not that we do anyway!

Our laptop now has some virus that we can't get rid of, and we don't go anywhere risky. Bet it is from FB. Blech Blech Blech.

Blocked e mail
 

JoMar, For some reason my e mail is blocked and we have tried everything.
Trying to fill in windows I.D. and do what they say, but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to get in that we might try?

Thanks for any input. Doodle bug7

We need more information to help you.
Is all your email blocked or just the Facebook email?

If Facebook, I had to make a second account for about a month as there was some glitch and I couldn't log in at all there. FB does have a help section but it was no help to me during that month...:(
But you need a different email address to make a new account on FB.

Then after a month or so my original FB account started working again...I kept trying to log in every so often to test it.


If all email is blocked, do you get & read it online (Webmail type) or use a program like Outlook Express or Thunderbird to get your emails from the internet right on to on your computer.

I don't use any of the windows /Microsoft email things -so I'm not sure about the windows ID??

If this is about email only and not Facebook, I can make a new thread from your post so others can help that use the same email program.

Re: FB
 

Nothing against anyone who uses face book, but I have heard of alot of trouble with it. I would rather e-mail than go to the sites that have some danger. I am a chicken. ginnie
