Was your Facebook account compromised by the recent big hack? Find out right now.

Posted on October 16, 2018

By now you’re probably aware of the recent massive Facebook hack. After all, it’s been all over the news these past few days.

At last count this hack has resulted in at least 30 million users having at least some of their personal info stolen.

Unfortunately, the total number of users affected by the hack is still unknown, but Facebook is still investigating the breach so hopefully they’ll get it all sorted out before too long.

In the meantime, the company has published a special page on their website that will tell you if your account is one of the accounts already known to be affected.

How to disable notification sounds on Facebook

Posted on August 17, 2018

If you tend to post and interact with others a lot on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed all the audible notifications you receive when there’s a lot of activity going on.

At times it can sound like you’re in the middle of an arcade!

Here’s why Facebook keeps switching your Newsfeed from ‘Most Recent’ to ‘Top Stories’

Posted on August 10, 2018

It’s been a good while now since Facebook rolled out the “Top Stories” method of displaying posts in our Newsfeeds.

Well, everything that I have seen and read about it clearly indicate that the vast majority of users absolutely hate it.

I receive at least three or four messages every week asking me how to prevent Facebook from randomly switching the Newsfeed from “Most Recent” to “Top Stories”, and every time I have to give the same answer: “You can’t”.

Truth be told, you actually can do it with the help of a third-party browser add-on called Social Fixer, but that shouldn’t be required in my opinion.

You really should be able to disable auto-switching to “Top Stories” in the Facebook settings without having to install another piece of software on your computer, but that simply isn’t possible right now.  [Read more…]

Q&A: If I delete a message I sent to someone on Facebook Messenger will they still see it?

Posted on August 9, 2018

Question from Anthony:  If I send a message to someone on Facebook Messenger but then immediately change my mind and delete it, will the other person still see it?

I got mad at my girlfriend and sent her a really mean message. I’m afraid if she sees it she’ll break up with me.

I deleted the message less than 30 seconds after I sent it.

Q&A: How can I find out if two Facebook users have any mutual friends?

Posted on July 8, 2018

Question from Karla P.:  I know that if I look at someone’s Facebook profile it’ll tell me if we have any mutual friends (and how many mutual friends we have).

What I need is some way to find out if two Facebook users have mutual friends with each other (not with me).

In other words, is there a way to find out if “John Doe” and “Jane Doe” have any mutual friends?
