Tying up loose ends

[afuna]

With the_cynic's and domtheknight's advice, I finally managed to remove both display and specification of my gender from Facebook.

Now the last thing on my profile is gone; it is completely clean \o/

(The only information I have left are who my friends are, and my email address. The latter is unavoidable, the former, mrrrrrrrm I guess can stay).


ETA: Kanji mood theme gives "accomplished" the character for "done". Yep, that's about right.

Oooh, can you share the trick?

You go and edit your profile (I had to view my profile then wave the cursor around until I found the edit button -- not sure if it's there from the menu).

Then instead of male or female, you can select "specify..." and also uncheck the box that says "show blah on profile".

This last change FB made completely messed me up. I had my profile set to only show my 'userpic' and my links to leave a message or make a friend. All of a sudden practically everything was out--not that I minded it so much for myself because I do not give away things about myself really, but it had my friends out there, which was a total violation of their privacy as well. I HATE Facebook for that. I made my profie completely unsearchable if you are not logged in at least. I haven't tried it when logged in, but that is why I do not give away personal info I care about on websites. I know some places that are completely at the mercy of hackers and even the stupid admins dun know it.

But with FB, my friend explained it to me that I should have said to keep the old settings. I have set them to hide certain things, but it does exactly what IT wants to do--not me.
