Yep

I'm not having any problems today :/ But I've read a lot of statuses about people who ARE having trouble...

Just kidding, I'm having the awfulest time trying to load pages on FB. Ugh. Did they do an update or are they in the process of updating anything? Cause that usually slows everything down???

Strange. I just spent a couple of minutes on FB, now the server error message is back...

what I hate the most.. is that they never tell you about their "improvements".. you just either find out yourself or through friends..

why can´t they say.." hey, we made this..bla bla bla.. if you don´t want it go and do this bla bla bla"

no wonder everyone is annoyed by all this "enhancements" no one wants/needs

Here's a site where you can check Facebook's status to see if the server is down or if it's just your cpu.

I let my FB account lapse because of all the privacy issues. I'm not overly paranoid, but why take chances?

Seems the info I passed along was not on target.

What we did (if you followed the original post):
Unchecking the 2 boxes DOES NOT PREVENT PEOPLE from "seeing" where you're at. It merely stops (Facebook) sending you emails to notify you that someone has.....

* Tagged me at a place
* Commented on my visits to places

"Notifications" notifies you (via email/sms) that someone has accepted you as a friend etc etc etc.
It does not disable the application.

SO . . .

To customize who you want to see places you're at....
* Go to your Facebook “Account”
* Select “Privacy Settings”
* Select “customize”
* Under “Things I Share”....
* Go to “Places I Check In”
* From the drop down menu, select “Customize”
* At “Customize”, Choose the settings.
* You can choose “only me” if you don’t want to share with anyone.

If you don't want others to check you into places.....
* Go to your Facebook “Account”
* Select “Privacy Settings”
* Select “customize”
* Under “Things Others Share”, Go to “Friends can check me in to Places”
* Select “Disabled”
