Facebook settings help

Hi

Ive got a facebook account, and wonder how you adjust settings so that if someone searched for me, my profile photo wouldnt be shown.

I tried viewing my own profile in the bit where it says options and it says "this is how your account looks to most people on fb" and it didnt show my wall or other photos as I put those to "friends only" but it DOES still show my profile photo.

I just have an annoying ex bf and a friend told me he had been searching for me on there so I just want it to show without a photo! thank you

Take the photo off or set the profile picture to something random. I have a picture of a spleen I use to stop random men messaging me when playing live games. To do this

1. Locate a picture that you want to be your profile picture (Tip: do a google image search)
2. If the picture is already on Facebook, click on the picture. In the lower righthand corner, you will see a list of possible actions. Click on "Make Profile Picture". The website will prompt you to crop the portion of the picture that you want to be your profile. You can either: 1. Drag a corner of the small cropping box to make it bigger or larger to include a section of the picture OR 2. Drag all corners of the small box to all edges of the picture. Option 2 will select the entire picture. Option 1 is useful if, for example, the picture includes you and two friends. You can just crop the part of the picture that includes yourself and make that your profile picture. Both of the options will resave the cropped images in your "Profile Pictures" folder.
3. If the picture is on a website, save it to your computer in a folder/ file location that you will be able to easily locate. Once the picture is saved onto your computer, login and go to your Facebook profile. Click on your profile (default) picture. On the page that comes up, above all of the thumbnails, you will see "Edit Photos" / "Change Profile Picture". Click on "Change Profile Picture". On the next page, click "Browse". Find your picture and click on it. Check the box that says you have the rights to the picture, and click on "Upload Picture".
4. You can also select a portion of your profile picture to be your thumbnail picture. This is the picture that comes up next to your name on chats, mini feeds, and applications on Facebook (such as "Lil Green Patch"). Generally, it is the middle of your profile picture, but you can adjust it as needed.

Goto Account>Privacy Settings

Then click the link at the bottom "Customise Settings"
Then Click on Edit Album Privacy and tyhen amend your profile photos settings in there to Friends Only.

I would also suggest you find him on facebook and block him, therefore no matter how much he searches under his account you will never appear.

Would also limit some of his friends on facebook that you are friends with as he can see your profile via there.

Also Change your profile picture to something not of you maybe of something of a icon or summery scene so there is no instantly recognising you. Also remove yourself from the global seqarch so even if he is not logged into facebook he cannot search for you
